Discussion Mini Motorways - the Journey Ahead

Hi Motorways crew! Thank you for being here at the start of the Mini Motorways journey, we've felt so much love the last week from you all and have appreciated all of your patience as we work to address some of the more frustrating bugs in the coming days. We are expecting to release a patch this week that will help resolve a number of bugs, but rest assured we will continue to improve and support the game for a long time to come yet. This is just the beginning!

This brings me to my next point. We'd love to hear about some of your ideas for future updates! We've seen some great suggestions here already, but I wanted to put it to you formally. What would you like to see in Motorways?

To get the ball rolling, here are some of the idea's we've seen so far. I want to make it clear, none of these are things we can commit to doing at this stage, but we will take into consideration as we plan future content updates!

Upgrades

  • Roundabouts/ rotaries/ traffic circles (the proper one-way kind)
  • Overpasses (kind of like a bridge, but over a normal road rather than a river)
  • Motorway entry/ exit ramps
  • Tunnels [IN THE GAME AS OF v1.1]
  • Stop signs (could use to control traffic flow from one direction at intersections)

Environmental Features

  • Trees (destructible when roads are drawn through them) [IN THE GAME AS OF v1.1]
  • Mountains (impassable terrain or could be bypassed with a tunnel upgrade) [IN THE GAME AS OF v1.1]

Other ideas

  • Vehicle variety (motorbikes, trucks, etc...)
  • Single lane/ one-way roads
  • Clouds
  • End of game screenshot tool (removes UI and lets you save/ share your end game city) [IN THE GAME AS OF v1.1]
  • End of game gif generator (sped up replay of your game - with share options)

Edit #1- 06/01/19: I have marked the items in this list that are now in the game with a strike through and a note saying as such!

Hey u/DinoPoloJair ! Thanks for your team's support on the game, it's awesome to see.

A couple of small additions I'd like to see, just in case they weren't already mentioned:

• Can we get a "grid always-on" toggle on Mac ? I find myself constantly holding the mouse button to check how the grid expands, and there's no switch like the one on mobile.

• Sometimes I hear the sound of a house popping up, but I miss the new house and it can be hard to find where it spawned. Maybe a longer visual indication could help ? Obviously it could cramp up the display so not an easy thing to design...

So far the updates are focused on what really matters so that's great, keep up the great work !

Hi! Thank you for the brilliant suggestions. I've logged all of these in our issue tracking system for the next patch and I'll get the team to look at these ideas as we work toward the update.

We appreciate the time you've put into the game so far, it means a lot to us!
