Green City will feature a 2D art style with a top-down view.
The earliest prototype of the game already showed the “2D top-down view”

Our artistic objective is not to create a realistic looking city management simulator, like Cities: Skylines, SimCity, or other similar games. We have chosen this approach for several reasons:
Realistic city management games already exist, and we want to differentiate our game from existing titles, rather than merely replicating them.
An indie art style is often more unique and recognizable, which can appeal to a large segment of gamers who appreciate the charm of indie games.
High-fidelity, realistic art styles are often costly to develop, and we prefer to allocate our resources wisely, focusing on aspects other than just art.
Many realistic, 3D games can appear soulless, whereas indie art styles often exude warmth and charm, resulting in a more engaging experience for players.
