Could you build this?
Partial The basic zoning, grid, and resource simulation can be vibe-coded in a game engine, but a polished city builder with balanced economy and simulation depth requires substantial game-design and systems work.
What it would actually take: Typically built in Unity or Godot with a tile or grid system, a simulation loop for power, water, traffic, and RCI demand, and overlay rendering. The hard parts are simulation balance, performance on mobile with large cities, and game design tuning, which need experienced game developers and playtesting over many iterations.
