i'd love to be able to see what quest i'm currently on tho. or maybe it comes with an upgrade i haven't tried?
Or if by quests you mean delivery jobs then you can see currently active jobs in the pause menu (when you're in the map view and press escape).
+ Unique zoomed out perspective
+ Insane amount of content
+ Really well designed overall
The driving reminds me of an old swedish childrens game, Mulle Meck Bygger Bilar :-)
- Cargo rotation is something I've wanted to do, but didn't get to it.
- The other thing is that after some amount of delivery jobs, you will get different size cargo - possibly one that you cannot take yet. I wanted it to be that way, so you will have the incentive to upgrade to a bigger cargo hold (that and also doing more than one job at the time). The problem is that it's not balanced well, and that may be frustrating. Something to keep in mind for the future.
I had a bit of trouble with the map experiences in terms of knowing where I was meant to go (both squares being red and some other things with information accessibility) but I gather that was also part of the navigation experience.
Very impressive considering the timeframe - well done.
You should try and get some more ratings to reach minimum as it would be a shame to leave this entry out of the competition.
I keep thinking I was playing X-Com for how similar the crosshair/reticle looked when it came to its geoscape view. Very nostalgic in that regard.
@lincolnsalles theoretically map generator could make it so you cannot reach any town, although I think that's unlikely. There should have been other town in other direction that you could reach. Or it was a map generator bug.
Thank you all for playing and for the feedback! I really appreciate it :)
