About Chunkybox Games
Chunkybox is an Australian studio based in Brisbane and are currently working on launching their debut title Wildcat Gun Machine.

Selected as one of Microsoft’s highlighted indie titles back at GDC 2019, Buildings Have Feelings Too! brings the city to life and turns its inhabitants into currency. Grow your city to a bustling metropolitan centre with an array of shops, offices, entertainment and amenities, but take care to keep your city thriving or risk losing your buildings being demolished forever. How will you react to the tides of change when your buildings have feelings too?

Imagine a city where buildings can walk and talk to one other. Each one has its own aspirations, hope and fears. Most of the time they’re just trying to get along with each other and make it through the day. Buildings Have Feelings Too! is a city management game with character. Players must grow their city while making sure the individual buildings thrive, or risk them being demolished forever.

As time progresses, new industries can be researched and new architectural marvels built. In turn, world events might cause buildings to fail and businesses to go bankrupt! Players must discover new ways to attend to their city’s needs. This could involve refurbishing a building or simply grabbing it by the hand and moving it to a nicer part of the neighbourhood.

• Discover and equip a wide range of businesses from the Victorian era right through to the modern day.
• Befriend a range of Buildings, each with their own aspirations, hopes and fears, as they come to grips with the changing world around them.
• Customise and rearrange your city’s layout by moving buildings and find the perfect combination for your city to grow.
• Expand across multiple neighbourhoods of your city, discovering new landmark characters and districts.

• Production and development funding for film, television and digital content;
• A free information service and production support for filming in Northern Ireland, including locations FAM trips for incoming productions; help with sourcing crews and facilities; studio facilities Titanic Studios and Belfast Harbour Studios, as well as excellent alternative build space;
• Marketing Northern Ireland as a worldwide production location and promoting its product and talent;
• Financial assistance for training and skills development;
• Production funding for Irish Language and Ulster-Scots programming;
• Investment in film education, heritage and archive, film festivals and cultural cinema.
