pretty well thought out
Pretty good game. I guess you like sim type games eh?
Now it could use with a little extra. It deffinetly lacked in graphical quality. The fact that everything was built and you could see what was going to be built wasn't too good. For the houses put some fences around them. The swimming pool could have belonged to either of the three houses surrounding it. Also if you do add fences put no back yard for $500 ones, the tree for the $800 one and around the swimming pool for the $1000 one. The school, hospital, hotel, gas station and theater lacked in every aspect of graphics, although the flashing lights on the theater do make it look a little better.
How about adding some more buildings in and being able to upgrade them like a $500 house to an $800 house then to a $1000 house then possibly one going into a mansion?
Hotel: could be upgraded from a 1 star all the way to a 5 star hotel...with valet parking?
Fire station: 1 truck->2 trucks->4 trucks. Fire Hydrants would make a good touch
Hospital: Why are there no ambulances? You expect someone who has 2nd degree burns to walk to hospital?
Wal-Mart:Could be a little convenience store and then get bigger then grows to a wal-mart
Adding a church would be nice as you could show "weddings" and also a graveyard.
You could also add:
A car lot
A theme park
A pier if it's on the coast
Offices
A library
A college
A university
A bar?
Hurricanes, Tornadoes Earthquakes and floods
Being able to fix buildings is a good idea
You have a police station yet nothing happens to it...Maybe crime and burglary? Also try adjusting the amount you pay to fit the size of the town. Like $50 for a house then $100 for bigger buildings like the fire and police station. Then $250 for something the size of the school or hotel.
Like I said good game, keep it up and try improve your graphics OR partner up with someone who's better at it.
PS. A new idea for you to try out...Sim school
