“It’s really about letting the user’s imagination run wild,” Kelly said of the new game. Every time players establish another “franchise” location in a city owned by a different player, the headquarters building of that business in their home city automatically grows by a floor. Players strive to take on the role of mayor as they host businesses owned by players from other cities - another Zynga first.
“CityVille” features Zynga’s largest and most interactive game board, with players clearing “the land” and slowly shaping a city of homes and businesses. Zynga even hired a staff architect to help design realistic 3-D versions of streets, parks and city buildings, including realistic views of the kind of brownstone apartment building you might see in New York or Chicago, Kelly said in providing a sneak peek of the new game this week. The company hopes “CityVille” will build on the momentum of its latest release, “FrontierVille,” which has 28 million monthly users. But they were on the same page in their assessment of Zynga’s growth. Before an audience at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco this week, John Doerr, of venture capital giant Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and Fred Wilson, a prominent New York-based venture capitalist with Union Square Ventures, disagreed about a number of things. With 225 million monthly visitors, Zynga says it has become the world’s largest social game developer. “We’ve been pulling a lot of hours” to complete design of the game, said a bleary-eyed Sean Kelly, general manager of “CityVille,” amid Zynga’s crowded warren of offices, which the company soon plans to vacate for a more spacious and modern headquarters elsewhere in San Francisco. It will also mark the company’s first global launch when it becomes simultaneously available in five languages over the next week or so.
The game, which Zynga describes as a cross between “Monopoly and Main Street,” is the company’s first new game in six months and is the first that includes 3-D renderings.
