Dressing up the Signature Building Feature as 'Planning Proposal Submissions' for Major Developments

[hollow burrow]

This might seem silly to some, but I think throwing a bit of flavour text at signature buildings so when unlocked they are presented to the player as;

"We have received a planning proposal for a major development within the city. This signature building requires discretionary city approval to be built."
**[APPROVE] ** [REJECT]

would be really nice bit of easy immersion for the game. As exciting* as the world of statutory planning is, I feel re-framing signature buildings this way moves signature buildings further away from "nice things to unlock in a video game" to "important decision I, the mayor [the player], am making about the direction of my growing city."

(Having the [APPROVE] and [REJECT] buttons make a stamp sound would be great 😌 )

[wide rose]

u dumb bro?

[wide rose]

this only proves my point and u know it

[hollow burrow]

Tbh, as far as you having a point from where I'm standing, I don't think you really have a point at all. I think you're just bored.

[wide rose]

[hollow burrow]

Then why does this feel like listening to a 13yr old making sex noises in the back of the class?

[wide rose]

You putting a block of cheese on the table and saying "no actually, it's cheddar" doesn't change the fact that it's cheese.

[wide rose]

What the fuck was this conversation?

As for the actual idea, I love it. Especially hearing the stamp sound

[hollow burrow]

Would honestly be hit of dopamine for me. xD
Signature buildings at the moment are functionally there but it would be great if they tied into a more formalized gameplay concept of city specialization, even if it's only via framing as above and more precise information provided about the buildings.
