Thanks, appreciate it
Interesting okay - I was thinking that given the amount of content, 4-5 hours seemed like a normal gameplay time, that’s interesting to hear you consider it easy/short.

“it would be really cool if the game didn’t have an end”
Well currently, you can just keep playing in your city if you choose to, without an end, so I’m not sure how I would make the game better to serve the unending/creative builders?

If you’ve got specific ideas about how to better balance the game, hit me with em. It’s a difficult part of the gameplay design for sure.

Thank you all for the great and constructive feedback, especially @UnitPeka!

I took the last week and transformed a TON of the game.

The biggest thing I did this week:

I created 8 unique maps, each with its own custom land, challenge, and building that unlocks when you reach the map. (So you unlock the Fire Station when you reach the “Arson” map, and then going forward you now have access to the Fire Station to build in your cities)

I’ve balanced out all of the buildings JaeThi mentioned - so now everything “makes sense” in terms of upgrading to more costly buildings, and they add more value per $.

Income used to be very basic - just keep spamming buildings for more money. Now, you’ll need to get enough workers to create a Business and the services your people need will cost you money!

I also made the happiness system more dynamic and involved - instead of just requiring a building of a certain type, you need to get a certain level of coverage for your city’s needs. For example, a restaurant covers 100 citizens, so if your city has 350 people, and you only have 3 restaurants, they will start to get a little grumpy about not having enough restaurants.

And finally, I added new disasters including buildings catching fire!!

So thanks, again, for the feedback! Without it, I wouldn’t have gotten the spark that inspired me to spend this week transforming this game into, what I think, is now a richer and engaging experience.

I made some big changes in the past month, including adding a personal “Family” you can manage and dress up, as well as new radio stations for music + a game pass to customize your own DJ playlist that others in your server can listen to.

I also added a bunch of new buildings, like new wonders (White House, Empire State Building, One World Trade Center), airports, trains, boats that move around the water, and drive-able cars!
I think there was more but…I can’t remember it all right now. :laughing:

New thumbnail!

I really like the concept but something I saw looking at this screenshot.

The nuclear plant thing and the building with the textures just stand out as the rest of the buildings are in a low poly style. Overall nice game!

Isn’t this a game that somebody lets you copy and you just reskin? Sorry if I am wrong but I see this exact game (usually with different GUI) constantly

#17

Very cool! Congratulations on 4 million visits! I love the effort put into this!

The layout is very nice and organized, and it’s pretty easy to build. I love the “Stuck?” feature. The GUIs look nice. I LOVE the cars. Keep up the great work!

Here are some of my suggestions:

  • When you’re placing a building, you should have an arrow that shows where the front of the building faces because it’s sometimes very hard to tell.

  • When you click on the sidewalks/roads, there should be an option to expand its length.

  • The GUI that pops up when you complete objectives or when citizens move into your city looks very plain. It’s just a black box compared to the round and colorful buttons displayed on the sides of your screen.

  • There should be some system of clouds depending on the weather (ex. greyer skies when raining)

  • Add a multi-select feature; it’s very tedious when you’re trying to move/destroy multiple objects.

Again, keep it up!

PLEASE SEE THIS POST IF YOU ARE STILL CONFUSED ABOUT TINYCOINS

Tinycoins can be found in the shop, which you can buy for Robux.

Do keep in mind that when you buy Tinycoins for buildings, it works differently than buying buildings with the regular currency (made from putting regular buildings/businesses).

Buying buildings with Tinycoins is like buying a permanent gamepass. Once you buy a premium building with Tinycoins, instead of having to pay another amount of Tinycoins to place the same building again, you only pay for it once, and then you can place as much of that building as you’d like.

For example, I have 50 Tinycoins. I want to buy an SUV, which is 45 Tinycoins. But I want to buy 3 of them, not just one.

Because it’s Tinycoins, instead of paying 135 Tinycoins (45 x 3), I only have to pay for the SUV, and I can place as many as I want for the same price.


As you can see, it says “Owned” after I buy the SUV, and I add it as many times as I want just for the price of one!

Quality reply @TheSuzerain :slight_smile: thanks
It just so happened right around when you wrote this, I noticed other players were also confused by Tinycoins, and in general, didn’t react well to them (compared to when premium items were just Gamepasses, initially)

Therefore, I removed Tinycoins for new players, and also removed Tinycoins from the Twitter reward + daily login rewards, basically attempting to phase out the system.

Since some players may have already purchased Tinycoins, they will still see Tinycoins as an option in the Shop, and will still be able to purchase more or purchase items with Tinycoins, but the game now defaults to the Gamepass option and doesn’t even show Tinycoins to new players.

I hope that clears things up for future & current readers of this thread! :smiley:

PS: I reduced the price of basically everything by like 50% last night :eyes::eyes:
Enjoy!!
