Ad intrusion breaks immersion; limited city viewpoints
Problem
Users desire an ad‑free, handcrafted aesthetic in pixel‑city games, but the current implementation interrupts immersion with ads and offers limited viewpoints; they also want more diverse city scenes (e.g., office, cafe) and less AI‑generated content.
Pain points
- Ad intrusion breaks immersion
- Desire for more city viewpoints (e.g., office, cafe)
- Preference for handcrafted over AI‑generated art
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to pay extra for an ad‑free experience?
- Do you prioritize removing ads over adding more city viewpoints?
- Which specific cities or viewpoints would you like to see added?

The product hunt ad is breaking the immersion for me. I know that most cities have ads but still, I prefer ad free pixel art.It’s also not realistic, in one landscape the billboard is taller than a 9 story building.

I'm guessing the primary request will be more cities but I'll deviate and say I'd love to see more views as well. Would be nice to have the same set of cities but I can see it from a studio view same way it is in the Paris view. Or from an office. Or a cafe.
