Two Point Campus has been fun so far. My thoughts The presentation and graphics are nice and I feel it's a way more fun setting than the hospitals were. The announcement lady gets a bit repetitive even if the lines themselves are good. Unavoidable if you're binging this game though. The school years I feel move too fast, in contrary to what others said. I'm almost always limited by money and that only comes at month end. So I get money, spend it all as fast as possible, and I'm just waiting for more. Pathfinding can be a little janky. I had like a dozen people college wide just standing in place with a ??? over their heads for an entire school year and the 4 pages of stats on each character never explained the "where do they want to go and why can't they go?" part. I keep selecting objects to move when I'm trying to select something else or just trying to exit build mode. I think the one I'd change about 2PC is the information. Like I said, I can know what kind of jam like they like on their toast, but the game will not tell me why people's pathfinding and scheduling are broken or what I need to go and resolve. Is a lab set up to block people from using it? hosed if I know, but I know everyone's jam preferences and who their BFFs are.

From reddit. "The constant attacks that turn entire rooms into pumpkinheads is a nightmare. On top of these guys constantly getting into potion accidents and picking up pastoral conditions because they’re too upset by the pumpkin head thing to sleep." I haven't gotten to the Hogwarts map yet where this starts happening, I'm on the Knight one where people turn up to trash stuff. I do like how Two Point Campus made school shootings into something bit more whimsical.

njsykora posted:I don’t think it’s school shootings, it’s more the American college movie trope of the campus invasion from a rival college. Yeah that's true, and I see that's what they were going for. Although the idea of people walking into classrooms and doing violence (I presume the pumpkinhead thing is a magic spell) and then the students involved literally can't sleep afterward is a bit on the nose, but that's probably just C-spam brain

I unironically would love a 2P Theme Park, Dungeon Master, or AirlineSaint Freak posted:I don't think zoos are scams though? Would it fit in with their other two games? We’re sorry for the feces that you left, on our floor

There's more to do in TPC and more variety in what you have to build for versus spamming GPs and clinics and diagnostics in every place. But at its heart, it's still an object placement optimization puzzle game. (Transport Fever 2 is also really good and an, if incremental, improvement on 1 FWIW)

Red Mike posted:I'd be up for a golf club simulator in the vein of Sid Meier's SimGolf. Aww yeah Simgolf. It's such a chill game to play. Pro tip: Windows XP on a Virtualbox VM will run the game with no extra tweaks, just install, put on whatever no-cd crack came with it, and play. Ghost Leviathan posted:That would fit well with the series' sense of humour and usual targets of satire, too. Being able to play your own courses too would fit right in. Even the music (the best part of SG) would fit right in with Two Point.

That guy's radio broadcasts gives me big Simcopter vibes. Downsampling it to 64k wavs like Simcopter would probably make it sound identical.

Jeoh posted:I'm still trying to figure out how to get the students entertained enough. Also why do my staff keep randomly loving off? I've been experimenting with putting arcade cabs near where they're queuing for medical or pastoral care, some even for being bored in the first place. They of course don't touch any of that poo poo and just wander off somewhere and complain about how bored they are.

Yeah that tracks, especially since I was making cramped bathrooms with as many stalls as I could squeeze in there with barely enough space for a temp changer. Does anyone else have the TPC music stuck in their head?

BattyKiara posted:I'm stuck in the Spiffinmore map. My students are just too stupid! How do I attract smarter students? Wizardry and Dark Arts (IIRC) are hard difficulty majors. You need to have leveled up teachers to get their grades up. Have a good library with the major's bookcases.

Der Kyhe posted:Top tip: In the campus finance data and charts, there is a buried setting that says "automatically check staff salary" or so. By putting it to "disabled" you no longer automatically dish out raises when someone completes a course or has been with the uni for another year. This becomes important in the latter maps with "make X dollars in a month"-objectives. In IIRC the same menu, in the staff menu you can set the threshold for staff to go fill their needs and the default is too low IMO. I set it to 50%.

Two maps away from beating the game with 36/36 stars. I don't think I've ever finished a management games campaign since Evil Genius 1 so kudosh to Two Point studios for that. Seems most of the challenge is in the beginning of a map when you don't have money to spare. Now that I have layouts the building itself is becoming more rote, I just flop down some good layouts I've built up over time. This is fine though it would be tedious making a 10 bed dorm over and over. Once I get into my third year I usually have enough students and rent to overcome expenses and then focus on the objectives.

Emphasis mine on what excites me the most about the patch. I had taken Pinstar's advice and just stopped making medical and pastoral support rooms because the maluses can be overcome and they're counter productive giving how queue students are solely engaged in queuing. I beat this game last week though
