Holy poo poo they actually answered a question in their Q&A that wasn't in the video. Raising taxes on cars pushes citizens toward public transit.

Imagining the following: I'm a zoomer fresh out of college. No one who wants to pay a living wage has responded to any of my job applications. I have college debt and I'm not sure where I'm going to live in like 4 months. I'm stressed out, I start up a nice relaxing city building game to unwind after a long day of being turned down and paying too much for too little. Boot up the game and one of the core mechanics is how hosed my generation is. My eye twitches. I ask steam for a refund and play some fortnite or whatever the gently caress zoomers do.

Imagine a modern style city builder game that simulated all of the problems with modern society. Your police have sovereign immunity and brutalize, beat and kill people at random causing massive city shuttering protests. If You do anything to threaten the police They strike or shut down major city services. Before you can change any sort of city policy you play and unskipable cutscene where somebody rants about chemtrails for 3 hours at an open city council meeting. You build an efficient tram network and some tire or auto manufacturer buys it out and mothballs it so people have to keep driving. You attempt to build a nuclear plant and literally everybody loses their goddamned minds.

Dijkstracula posted:a few friends of mine were judges in this game jam a few years back: I had an idea way back when I was a student for a pre-modern city builder with the constraints typical of the era. IE: you inherit an ancient randomly generated city and there's some sort of natural disaster that requires a partial rebuild of the affected areas only. Maybe if you finish that someone "accidentally" sets a fire in a convenient location at some point. Maybe folks blame you, maybe they don't. No matter what you definitely aren't rebuilding the entire city from the ground up, and if you get too bold the game ends with your guards throwing your decapitated head to angry proles in the town center.

I like trains coming earlier than they do in CS1, but I'm not sure about having trams not coming at the same time. Still, with the amount of development points you seem to get you can probably unlock them all at once.

Gonna try giving natural development a fair shake in CS2. CS1s development just felt weird, especially because you have to connect your hamlet to some 6 lane freeway monstrosity using a baby street. I really dislike having to connect to outside networks. Makes city panning tough for my smooth brain.

The starting on a highway offramp thing does indeed suck poo poo and it's sad that they kept that. I guess the agent thing requires an outside connection but I don't see why it couldn't be a little country road instead. Or a railway.

IIRC it doesn't work properly either, you really need to have a full size highway at the edge of the map. Though you can turn that into a two lane right away.

Though you can turn that into a two lane right away. You can use two lane highways for outside connections, I've done it a few times. The issue is that the speed limit and only having two lanes can cause traffic issues, which you can sorta mitigate by making your direct connections be adjacent edges of the map and then create a more direct, underground road between them in order to absorb all of the dummy traffic that the game generates.

Strategic Tea posted:The secret of shutting down the police is that if they all go on strike, nothing actually happens because they're completely ineffective anyway Now that's just not true in the slightest. When cops go on strike, crime goes down  Ok, I have identified a possible issue stemming from the development umlock system and how it might interact with mods. Say you download a new fire station; if it's set to be part of an existing node and you just unlock the new one along with whatever the game gives you there, fine, no problem. However, if the mod adds it as a new node and you have to spend eg 4 development points to unlock it, where do those extra points come from? A single mod could just tweak it so you you get 4 more points at a specific milestone, but what happens if you have a bunch? Of course it may just not be possible to add new unlock nodes so everything has to be slotted into an existing one, but that seems like it could constrain things heavily, like if someone wants to add a new type of power plant but has to just stick it onto the Nuclear Power node. Alternatively I think the cleverer and most convenient solution would be if rather than the game having an actual set number of points at each unlock, it instead counts the total needed to unlock everything and then distributes that total among the 20 milestones using whatever ratio CO decided is best. They'll have to do something though because once DLCs start arriving those will surely be adding their own unlocks as well.
