Just started on a city builder yesterday, and I would love some feedback on the placement system and the game itself. It’s still far from finished of course.
The ghost effect on the buildings is really nice, but the position where the building lies on my mouse feels weird to me. Feels like the house and road pieces were off centre almost. Perhaps take the mouse’s position on the grid and use the total number of grid spaces the building would take up to find the centre.
Additionally, some player feedback when you placed a building would be nice (sound effect, particles, camera shake scaling on building size) - but I assume those will come as you continue to develop it.
Loving the build mode! Wish there was some UI on the bottom right or left that says like “Press B to start building” or something like that, and maybe a tutorial (I know its a WIP these are just suggestions lol)
Looks good! I would have the option to use both keybinds and press a button, for example the “Cancel = C” could also be a button so you could press it to cancel it, very helpful for those on mobile.
Like the others said the mouse positioning seems to change
