31st July 2025 – MicroProse, the veteran publisher behind genre-defining strategy and simulation games, is proud to announce a partnership with Hilkojj Interactive to publish Car Park Capital: a gleefully satirical tycoon sim about paving the way for a brighter, oilier future.
In Car Park Capital, players are hired by Big Auto to reshape quiet towns into sprawling concrete kingdoms - one parking lot at a time. Using a potent mix of real-time strategy, urban development tools, and tongue-in-cheek propaganda, players will bulldoze houses, raise towering asphalt cathedrals, and convince citizens that life is better with more cars (and fewer opinions).
The game blends classic tycoon gameplay with razor-sharp social commentary about car dependency, urban sprawl, and the subtle art of turning convenience into ideology, all in glorious simulation.
Game Features:
-
🚗 Real-time simulation with hundreds of vehicles and (bald) citizens, all bustling around your growing parking empire.
-
🏗️ Build the dream: Demolish homes, buy land, and design massive parking lots, flat or vertical, with 3D construction tools.
-
🧠 Mind-reading tech: Tap into any citizen’s thoughts. Are they buying in? Or just angry about your oil rig next to their child’s school?
-
📣 Propaganda tools: Convert skeptics into carbrains with megaphone slogans, billboard campaigns, and majestic car-themed statues.
-
🎡 Appease the people: When traffic hits critical mass, distract them with your glorious Ferris Wheel for cars.
-
✊ Anti-car resistance: Outsmart protesters before they tank your approval ratings.
-
📊 Stat-o-matic: Track every number a proper tycoon craves. Higher fees? Bigger oil consumption? That’s progress!
-
🛢️ Drill, baby, drill: Because a full tank is a full heart.
-
🚆 Fight public transport: Who needs trains and walkability when every inch of the map can be asphalt?
- 🛠️ Moddable: Tinker under the hood with Lua support for content and script modifications.

About Hilkojj Interactive
My name is Hilko Janssen. I'm the independent game developer behind Hilkojj Interactive, based in the Netherlands. I developed my own Game Engine and Rendering Engine.
Thanks to the techniques used in this engine, I can create games with nostalgic mechanics and retro-styled graphics. Inspired by well-known games from the 90s and 2000s. An example is the automatic Blender to 2D spritesheet pipeline I developed, which is currently being used in Car Park Capital.
