Game Mechanics: Townies and Settlements

You can establish your own settlement on Qubus' Island (or join another player's estate), while managing your avatar's life and his or her wellbeing, belongings and pets in a roleplaying-ish fashion.

City-building is Coobico’s main theme, somewhat comparable to games like The Settlers or MySims. But it’s city-building inside out: you can establish your own settlement on Qubus’ Island (or join another player’s estate), while managing your avatar’s life and his or her wellbeing, belongings and pets in a roleplaying-ish fashion.
When exploring the surroundings with your avatar, you will eventually discover other settlers and their villages—other players with whom you can compete or collaborate to become the most influential citizen.

To build a new structure, you’ll need to gather construction-materials and fulfil quests first, which in turn will raise your avatar’s experience and his or her Achievement-Level. As a true multiplayer-game you can convince your friends and neighbours to invest in your construction-site, to speed up building. Likewise, competing players can use their resources to delay or stop a completion of a new structure.
