New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!
The best thing is that this game has a built-in dark mode.
and a colorblind mode !!
@ElyskyPlayz YESSS
I've played mini metro a STUPID amount over the years because it's one of the best offline games when you fly (and I fly a lot for work). I absolutely love it
got me to australia and back from east coast USA
I would love to see more of this played on the channel.
same love the concept
Agreed
agreed hopefully not a 1 off getting a bit samey
please no
if you search on youtube, there are people with scores in the 10's of thousands, usually they block potential spawns by putting roads down, that they don't intend to use. sometimes behind houses. this limits the amount of houses on the map. some people place round-a-bouts in weird locations, never intending to connect them to roads, just to stop the companies from spawning in stupid places. the game doesn't remove player placed structures, and that can be exploited to help 'govern' the spawns.
Teal is a dark blue-green, light blue is probably the best color description (:
MAYBE you could get away with cyan, too
Interesting that it doesn't matter what the houses actually need, only the sellers matter.
Yeah I came into this having played a similar game a few years back (dont remember the name) where any house could generate traffic to any buisnes of the same color, so I assumed I have to connect everything here too. Needless to say that created a lot of unecessary spagetti. Now that I know I only have to supply the buisness it should be easier to plan.
Yeah it does, but I’ve played this game for months so I’m way ahead of the populous.
I think the concept is that the businesses need consumers interested in their specific products to keep from going bankrupt.
@@hunterjuneau7037
Yeah but its still backwards because the nearest consumer is "summomed" and only if that one is busy someone from afar goes there to buy, which is not how consumers work.
@@SangerZonvolt yeah, but the game would be worse the other way around imo
Can’t do worse than ManyaTrueNerd’s road building skills.
This game will never get the attention it deserves, but it's absolutely one of the best of the year. So simple and charming, yet so tricky to master (especially evident near the end of this video; just look at the chaos!). It's like if SimCity and Tetris had a baby.
As someone living in LA, I am very appreciative of a well constructed road system. Which means I got a little annoyed every time I saw an easy and efficient solution that you didn't use. Keep playing and keep improving please!
Mini Metro is an amazing game and I'm thrilled to see this followup!
Wow, the game looks so nice. Although the motorways clutter the view
Just like real life, then.
Yeah, you can however move them around if you want to do work underneath them
They might look better as a pair of tunnel entrance/exits. Tunnels instead of motorways.
This reminds me of another game I used to play, called just Motorways or something like that. It had a similar concept, but the map was fixed and had no grid
Freeways. Neat but frustrating game.
So glad you played this. Also diagonals can save you quite a lot of road overall too :D
Also worth mentioning you can click and drag the middle of motorways to get a better look at whats under them
i feel like the algorithm puts new businesses in any free 2x3 tile areas, so I just started to put roads in such a way as to minimize the amount of 2x3 areas. it kinda sort works? i just drop 1x2 roads everywhere so it blocks any 2x3 empty spaces. i think i got to maybe 100 points before a 2nd business showed up. just have to keep watching as the map expands and add more broken roads to block the new areas
Great playthrough, man! :) This game looks awesome!!
Thanks Quill, I bought both Mini Metro and Mini motorways after watching your video.With your guidance, I got 2753 in LA in my first game :D I got quite lucky with both dark blue and green on 2 separate sections from the rest until quite late in the game.
What do you mean by LA has terrible traffic in real life? Jack Bauer can go across the city during an add break.
also i think it's nice connect the motorway directly to a roundabout as it serves as an on/off ramp for the higher flow of motorway traffic
More of this game please!
Comment test. EDIT: Well, wtf RUclips?
Anyways, cool to see a new game after Mini Metro! And it looks a bit more complex since you're dealing with cars that have to stop for each other on the roads, instead of buses that essentially treat each other like they don't exist.
Loved this! Not my usual type of game but I can see myself jamming this game relentlessly
this game is wonderful, but they definitely need to add an alert/visual indicator for unconnected buildings
It's subtle, but they pulsate a bit with a lighter color than the connected ones!
Oh yeah, that is the stuff. I am going to be picking up this for sure.
Thanks for introducing this game, it's so chill... to begin with.
Because its annoying me teal has a lot more green in it. It is #008080 in hex.
🙌
oh wow that looks much more complex than Mini Metro in the best of ways. Great iteration on a game that was an instant classic
This game looks like pure bottled stress. Love it!
See game, oh what a cute little baby games for 5 year old kids. Then proceeds to play to around 2000 commuters. DEAR GOD!. This gets out of hand really quickly and its a lot harder than it looks.
much much more of this please its amazing
29:40
haha funny number roads :)
Loved Mini Metro, love this immediately. And I just bought it because you make such horrible messes, Quill...
I knew I recognized that music and aesthetic somewhere
the urbanist in me hates to see mini metro become mini motorways
Mini Metro, the first time I've ever hated basic shapes
After playing that game, FUCK circles.
Loved this. Will definitely watch more!
You definitely seem to be one of the best YT players of this game.
i’m a simple man, whenever i see a quill video, i press like
So if you're watching a random video, and Quill18 is in the recommended, you click like? That's nice of you :D
Omg, my OCD is firing off. I want to take over and tidy it up.
Thats not how OCD works or what OCD is.
This is my first video from you I watched and I already you are a great youtuber keep making the great content man 👍
Awesome looking little game!
Was waiting for this upload for the past week!
Stupid cheap on Steam right now if you already own Mini Metro and buy the bundle!
Great Review!
Hope this had colour blind support
It does.
It looks like sellers can’t be used as a pass through. The top right blue house never sends out cars
Nice but too stressful for my taste ^^
The slow zoom out effect bothers me a lot less in this one compared to metro. Maybe because it seems slower? I almost didn't notice at all.
Great Game steam has a bundle of both games :)
All your motorways are east to west... No north south.
As opposed to a lot of the LA motorways IRL? I guess the point is 16:9 screen and crossing the N/S rivers for free with motorways too.
More please
I made it all the way to seven and a half minutes on the video before I hit "Purchase" on Steam... Now to the real problem; should I continue to watch the video or go play?
Can you delete everything and start from scratch?
It's Orange!
Too bad they made a deal with Apple so it isnt on Android
Someone. Please. Mix this with Cities: Skylines.
Looks fun! I loved mini metro, but as a freedom lovin’ ‘merican, the motorways are probably more for me.
Spaghetti
Quill, you just threw out all the rules of good road planning the moment you got motorways.
roundabouts dont work like they should. infuriating
I enjoyed watching the whole video, yet when I paused it at the end, I find utterly hate what you've made here, its like a horrible piece of art.
I'm pretty sure the genre "city builder"is broad enough to call this that.
I think it's more accurate to describe it as a casual puzzle game with a traffic theme, but at that point we're just arguing pedantries.
You just sold a copy of the game...
36:00 Jif?! Unsubbed.
Please play Fermi paradox
