When you think of the go-to cities of futuristic Asia, you often think Tokyo or Osaka or Hong Kong, maybe even Shanghai. For quite a while now, Singapore has often been left out of the Asian sci-fi vision of storytellers (at least for the most part). In reality, Singapore is incredibly futuristic and the government embraces the automated future. What makes it even more interesting is that it doesn't have the grime of, say, Hong Kong -- Singapore is incredibly green and clean. Westworld Season 3 was shot mostly in Singapore, and if you check out early shots online, you'll see why it was the perfect setting: amazing architecture, somewhat frighteningly clean and orderly, and despite the very small size, does not feel cramped. When writing the story for the game, I imagined what the city would be like if the government started losing grip - it would present an amazing setting that showcased an efficient, well-run city state descend into the pits of desperation and decline. It's really given me great avenues to create some interesting cases in Chinatown Detective Agency.

I haven't! I've been dying to. Their Twitter account was kind enough to retweet our Kickstarter announcement, they're such an incredible team!

You know, I was hoping to feature a lot of the landmarks I find cool, too. In fact, I was hoping to feature Pearl Hill way back during the early days of development, but you know what happened -- they demolished it, so it's a bit of a balancing act as we want to make sure most of the buildings we feature in a game set in 2032 are still around when the game is released in 2021 haha!

It is... hang on let me run to the bathroom... the handle and body is like neon blue, and the bristles are a neon yellow. I like to live dangerously.

Hey! Oh, don't worry, that's work in progress! We're still missing the Circle, North-East and the new Thompson line, but rest assured they'll be there! Dear SMRT -- please please please don't announce a new line before we release the game, please!
