MapCity

이 게임은 성능이 높지 않아도 되고 발전 가능성이 무궁무진 합니다. 아직 게임을 완전히 즐긴것 같지는 않지만 잠깐 해본 경험으로는 너무 재밋습니다

This game has good potential and one thing it needs is a height map importer for custom maps if that isn't one alr and for me the terrain editor is lagy but it may just be my pc but if this gets better in the future i will use this game in my world building projects

Having played the game for nearly an hour, I can see that this game has plenty of potential in the future, but in its current state, it's not a game I would recommend. When you start a new save in the game, you are brought to a completely blank, horizontal plane. This is great for making a completely bare, fictional map, but I think it should be made more obvious/apparent when starting a game that features from the real world need to be imported as individual (free) DLC in a completely different window. I really like two things about this game so far: the controls and the camera. The controls are incredibly simple, since you can reach everything with a standard mouse, which made me not even think of trying to find a tutorial to get started. The camera is quite fun too, offering top down (2D), free rotate isometric (3D), locked isometric (ISO, which locks you to the NW, NE, SW and SE cardinal directions) and conical (perspective) views. Now, for the most blaring issue (to my eyes). This game is Drop-down Galore. You have TONS of options available to you, but they are all contained within dropdowns and menus that are only distinguished by the tiny icon that is shown at the bottom of the screen. Not only that, but most of the tools at your disposal are hidden within the "Other tools" button. Three far smaller issues that I have with the game, which I would consider more as nitpicks in comparison, are: - It doesn't seem possible to make curved segments of rail (it might be, and I may not have found this tool due to my limited amount of time playing). - Buildings are indistinguishable from each other apart from their colour. - It should be possible to make the terrain brush's size smaller than 25 m. In fact, it should go as far low as 1 m, to allow for much better detailing. For now, the game feels like an Open Street Map editor, with a slightly realistic visual theme, a couple of bits and bobs to make it feel alive, and a 3D camera. You are given tons of options, but also a really haphazard way to go around them. For now, I give it a 4/10. But I want to be more helpful than that, and propose to you some directions where you could go next. First and foremost, REMAKE THE UI. I understand that the game is still early access, and the UI shows this. But I can assure you that the UI is driving players away. Making the icons more prominent, making more icons for more things (including within the drop-downs), making them stand out more and rearranging tools and settings by order of relevance will go a long way. I could point you to Workers and Resources' UI. The main tools that you need are first shown as general categories at the bottom of the screen, and then you can reach an individual tool by hovering over said category. This could be translated to your game, for example, as the first button being a generic "Transport" button, which, when hovered over, showed Road, Rail, Water transport... and so on with further categories, as they already appear in the "More tools" section. Then, buildings should be more distinguishable from each other. I think that, rather than colours, you should use icons for each category of building, which would appear on the rooftops of the buildings and would allow for colour variety. The addition of other minor features such as props, surface painter (to not have just grass), procedural building fronts/models and citizen POV camera could easily elevate this game to a 7/10, simplistic sandbox city/country builder.
