No No, he meant deleted from the channel

#

His map is still intact

#

But great that you mightve fixed your problem

silk dirge
#

@bronze moon, oh ok. So im still the lonely one who's having trouble!!?? Not fair!! "Only the lonely"

bronze moon
#

Perhaps not, but so far the only one to notice/report it

#

But many people have had issues before, no update is perfect

silk dirge
#

I believe I did already @bronze moon

bronze moon
#

Luckily we can help them most of the time

silk dirge
#

@bronze moon, what's up with the Empire State building? Why is it that simcity and designer city can?? ANOTHER not fair scenario

bronze moon
#

Those are other games

silk dirge
#

I need that building

bronze moon
#

Not related to theotown

#

Maybe someone made a plugin for it

silk dirge
#

Can I make one? I forget who told me I more than likely can't because of the copyright. But are you saying that I can? @bronze moon

bronze moon
#

If you are able to code and texture sure

#

Anyone can make plugins

silk dirge
#

@bronze moon, I've looked for it but can't find it

versed timber
#

Though the empire might be copyrighted

silk dirge
#

Ahhhhhhh!! F@%$, $h*@
Not fair

#

What if I were to sorta change it a little? Like at Tyne bottom or top somewhere? Would that negate the copyright?

#

Stupid autocorrect

#

Other than the Twin Towers and One World Trade Center, that is THEE MOST IMPORTANT BUILDING in New York. Possibly in the entire world

versed timber
#

That's really debatable

mellow monolith
#

Yep

versed timber
#

But if you use it only as for yourself then it'll be fine

silk dirge
#

@Evan Wheeler#786, wait am I understanding that I can make one for myself?!! I'm starting to get aroused

#

That's my centerpiece for my Manhattan

#

@versed timber @mellow monolith, name me another more iconic building more recognized than the Empire State building......go for it

mellow monolith
#

Pad 39a

silk dirge
#

@mellow monolith never heard of it

#

Try again

versed timber
#

The white house

#

The Kremlin

#

Notre Dame

#

My point and case

silk dirge
#

As In skyscrapers

#

I would almost still argue the White House

#

@versed timber, they are NOT more iconic

#

Maybe the White House, but I was more or less talking about tall buildings

mellow monolith
#

Eiffel tower is tall

silk dirge
#

@mellow monolith, nice one

#

@mellow monolith, tell me honestly, do you think the Eiffel Tower is more popular than the Empire State building?

#

I'd say it's definitely up there, but I still am of the opinion that EVERYONE in the world knows the Empire State building. Maybe im wrong

#

How about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

mellow monolith
#

Maybe

silk dirge
#

The Eiffel Tower though, that was a good one. I forget about that

#

I wish they would start building gothic buildings like that again

mellow monolith
#

The piramids are another one

silk dirge
#

@mellow monolith, yep

#

I NEED MY EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

#

How do you start making plugins?

#

Is it difficult?

mellow monolith
#

Dunno

silk dirge
#

@mellow monolith, not into it yet huh
Well I wasn't either until now

mellow monolith
#

Take a look at the forums there's a complete tutorial there

silk dirge
#

@mellow monolith, I just did and you are correct

#

I was about to say tube Roman Coliseum too

ebon glade
#

Look at the tribune tower in chicago

#

Thats neogothic i think

silk dirge
#

@ebon gladei want that one too

mellow monolith
#

That's a big one though

bronze moon
#

Burj khalifa @silk dirge

silk dirge
#

@bronze moon. Tall it is, but not more iconic

bronze moon
#

Maybe not iconic

#

But very well known

silk dirge
#

I didn't know the new Trade Center building was number 4 in terms of structures

#

I thought it was even lower on the list

#

@bronze moon, cool looking building it is

My apologies, Master Yoda sometimes gets out of me now and then

#

He was a huge influence on me in my training

real girder
#

@gentle lodge that's not smallest map, despite highest resolution, it still wouldn't be that large looking, you cant fit everything you have on that map on a small map

gentle lodge
#

Wait, nevermind

#

I'm dumb

modern hearth
#

Hello guys

#

How you all

safe kettle
#

🙃

heady heath
#

hi henk

spare lagoon
#

1st person to vote with a

#

i feel special to be the person to start the winning vote

young hull
#

i feel multiplayer is kinda needed now

steel sun
#

Ill tell you what, in my opinion the game really needs a region UI

heady heath
#

what is "more dynamic systems"

steel sun
#

There technically is a Multiplayer discord server for TT

young hull
#

with all the new additions, adding multiplayer would make the game a whole lot more fun

fickle lynx
#

i don't want multiplayer

wheat crater
#

Can I choose 3 of them?

steel sun
#

I chose 2

fickle lynx
#

i chose c and d

wheat crater
#

wait, I guess you can but the one with most votes win?

spare lagoon
#

vote a for a better future

wheat crater
#

yes, I am smort

gentle lodge
#

I chose C

weary peak
#

Oh my god I hate how many people want multiplayer mode, it just isn't needed imo. A dark mode UI or a Region Creation UI is way much needed. We already have a multiplayer mode.. I just don't think MP will be as good as people expected, so yesh

heady heath
#

Absolutely agree

fickle lynx
#

me too

heady heath
#

if you want multiplayer go back in time and play SC2013

spare lagoon
#

spoopy is a non believer

weary peak
#

Yeah lol

spare lagoon
#

get him out

weary peak
#

No u

spare lagoon
#

look what vote is winning

#

exactly

gentle lodge
#

@spare lagoon why do we need multiplayer?

fickle lynx
#

i dislike multiplayer idea

heady heath
#

plebs have no idea what's best for the game obviously

spare lagoon
#

idk

#

sounds cool

#

multi-player

#

haha

#

nah would be cool to socialise more with people without moving

#

if you know what i mean

gentle lodge
#

Then why we need to vote for multiplayer?

fickle lynx
#

i hope that either b c or d wins

heady heath
#

but what does "more dynamic systems" entail?

spare lagoon
#

so you can also socialise

gentle lodge
#

I would rather vote C instead of A

weary peak
#

Yet again I'm dissapointed..

I can just guarantee you all it'll be less spectacular as everyone thinks. It'll come with dozen of bugs and probably will get optimised 3 years after its release

spare lagoon
#

i would rather vote a

gentle lodge
#

Why tho

spare lagoon
#

have faith

gentle lodge
#

A is big yikes

#

@weary peak I agree with you

heady heath
#

@mellow kettle what does More dynamic systems mean!?

#

thank you

mellow kettle
#

5 pesos

gentle lodge
#

What?

wheat crater
#

yͮ̒̂a͌͛͌yͮ̒̂

gentle lodge
#

Hatrid mun sigra

heady heath
#

what else would come under rebalancing?

mellow kettle
#

rebalancing

heady heath
#

but what! lol

brisk thicket
#

Some of these options take more work than the others

mellow kettle
#

influence tweaks, pricing system, inhabitant system rework

spare lagoon
#

like giving jager's acog back

#

and another lion nerf

heady heath
#

thanks for clarifying

steel zodiac
#

i'll have to completely, honest, I DO NOT want multiplayer mode in TheoTown, and the fact that it's the most requested feature makes me weep for humanity

heady heath
#

^^^^

spare lagoon
#

i dispise you

wheat crater
#

I choose ABC and F

dull forge
#

Hey

steel zodiac
#

multiplayer mode is what caused simcity 2013's downfall

gentle lodge
#

@steel zodiac you right

spare lagoon
#

i chose them all

weary peak
#

He does have a point

spare lagoon
#

spoopy

#

lol

#

poopy

#

uh oh

#

stinky

#

hahahah

heady heath
#

anyone who votes dark mode is misguided and has a severe inability to prioritize

#

i think we can all agree on that :^)

weary peak
#

You want a mute buckaroo? @spare lagoon

spare lagoon
#

yes captain

#

nice pirate roleplay

trail crypt
#

a suggestion is a more specialized interregional economy system

spare lagoon
#

swashbuckler

narrow epoch
#

Wait, only Just one Will be in the game, the others Will never be?

drifting knotBOT
#

dynoSuccess homeless ginger#6484 was muted

dull forge
#

You know what funny

versed timber
#

Alright break it up

#

Now.

weary peak
#

Okay then.. that's that

dull forge
#

Y'all say no talking in events but ppl still doing it

steel zodiac
#

online multiplayer is also what has caused the out-of-control escalation of toxicity in gaming culture the past two decades

heady heath
#

that i disagree with

dull forge
#

N ppl who talking in events Havnt been remove yet or warn

weary peak
#

Subspace has solid points

narrow epoch
#

No, multiplayer is best

safe kettle
#

I'll disqualify everyone talking in events from now on. No warnings or smth

narrow epoch
#

The multiplayer one is the most revolutionary option

heady heath
#

spoken like a true zoomer

carmine spindle
#

Yo

steel zodiac
#

also, incorporating in multiplayer into games takes a whole lot of work, making it much more difficult to implement other features into the game

#

like, if multiplayer wins, all other suggested features might not be implemented for years

#

if at all

dull forge
#

I see this option might be bad ideas

narrow epoch
#

And if another wins, multiplayer Will never be on game

safe kettle
#

why not

dull forge
#

It can go either way

steel zodiac
#

additionally, multiplayer mode has in most cases harmed the the modding community

heady heath
#

adding NO new functionality to the game over a meme mulitplayer mode would be a crying shame

carmine spindle
#

:( fine than.

narrow epoch
#

Ok, then

carmine spindle
#

:( don't say hi back.

narrow epoch
#

But i still voting in multiplayer

heady heath
#

you came in during a contentious time, Ikey

#

lol

steel zodiac
#

why? @narrow epoch

carmine spindle
#

I see

narrow epoch
#

Because, there so many possibilities

heady heath
#

like what?

gentle lodge
#

function for boats, trains and other public transportation is more better than multiplayer

heady heath
#

possibilities of people getting butthurt over people doing stuff they didn't account for in cities/regions?

gentle lodge
wheat crater
#

Amyone here see a difrence about me?

ivory kelp
#

If I was you guys I wouldn't vote for multi-player mode cuz It would be to much to handle for the game Transportation system would be better

narrow epoch
#

Its even possible to create a government, imagine that, you and your friends each one Control diferents regions, and can do war too, and Trading.....

heady heath
#

imagine none of that ever happening

#

cause it likely wouldn't

gentle lodge
#

You guys really like multiplayer in theotown??

narrow epoch
#

What is the deal of multiplayer só?

heady heath
#

everyone would want to be PM/Prez

#

no one wants to be a district comptroller

#

if you want to go to war with your friends play an RTS game

gentle lodge
#

^^^

steel zodiac
#

@narrow epoch this is a city builder, not a strategy game

heady heath
#

tacked on multiplayer has been the bane of games since forever

bronze moon
#

i see that the announcement has made quite the impression

#

discussion wise

ivory kelp
#

I want better transportation system

heady heath
#

except maybe in the case of Goldeneye64

#

lol

gentle lodge
#

Me too @ivory kelp

narrow epoch
#

Its better to build cities with other people

ivory kelp
#

Y E S

heady heath
#

what an incredibly subjective statement

ivory kelp
#

Transporting peoples is my second passion after building a city

gentle lodge
#

@narrow epoch But what if some people just do a big mess in your city

ivory kelp
#

I would like to do a perfect system

heady heath
#

if NONE of these other things are implemented into the game over MP, the game may as well be dead

#

especially if it's going to take as long as they are implying to get it going

narrow epoch
#

Do you think that you wont be able to Control who Will play with you in your city?

gentle lodge
#

What?

#

It will took 2 years or 1 year to finish do multiplayer

narrow epoch
#

You Will be able to invite the one you WANT

weary peak
#

MP will have major flaws.

  1. It'll be easy as hell to grief etc
  2. It'll probably need an entire redo of game code to make it compatible
  3. It'll get released with quite a lot of bugs
  4. Servers.. do I need to explain..?
  5. It'll probably be bug free 3 years after release
ivory kelp
#

Implenting multi-player would coast money to buy online servers and stuff and it's quite expensive compared to the others suggestions

narrow epoch
#

I think Theotown Just could have a big dev group by this moment, what do you mean by 3 bug free years??

ivory kelp
#

It has 2 devs

heady heath
#

lol

gentle lodge
#

Yes

#

wait

weary peak
#

The entire redo of code will make quite a lot of things incompatible. If you want it to be bug free you'll have to wait

gentle lodge
#

One dev

steel zodiac
#

@narrow epoch that will NOT be the case, hiring more developers costs a ton of money

mellow kettle
#

Not neccesarily.

ivory kelp
#

If they add MP peoples will complain about bugs just like TT66 uptade but it was implenting big features not like MP

narrow epoch
#

If It will only be 2 devs the entire process, the game Will die soon

heady heath
#

wasting time adding MP to a dead game, what a way to go out

gentle lodge
#

@ivory kelp Only Lobby working this game right now

narrow epoch
#

Because of that the game needs to grow, and not stagnate

ivory kelp
#

@gentle lodge JA is to

steel zodiac
#

@mellow kettle parental leave, paid vacation, health insurance (if it's in a country with no universal healthcare) are just some of the expenses you as an employer would have to deal with

gentle lodge
#

Oh ok

heady heath
#

ehh... subcontract devs isn't like hiring a full time employee

mellow kettle
#

Not neccesarily.

atomic osprey
#

Helllloo

ivory kelp
#

MP Would just be to much

steel zodiac
#

subcontracts is just a way for companies to get around labour unions

mellow kettle
#

not necessarily

heady heath
#

or a way to easily hire additional help without all the overhead you just mentioned

atomic osprey
#

Ok thx

narrow epoch
#

if MP is to much for now, why ja put It on options?

atomic osprey
#

Hello @atomic osprey

#

How are you

#

Fine and you @atomic osprey

#

Goooood

narrow epoch
#

I think that he knew It would atract people

mellow kettle
#

it isn't

ivory kelp
#

@narrow epoch Because they let us have opinions

weary peak
atomic osprey
#

What are you doing? @atomic osprey

heady heath
#

bruh stop

#

we're clearing discussing something here, not going to stop so your feelings don't get hurt

atomic osprey
#

But

#

WHY

steel zodiac
#

@mellow kettle It really frustrates me that you just respond to my arguments with "not necessarily", without explaining as to why

gentle lodge
#

Sorry, I didn't mean to post in the internet

atomic osprey
#

It's a gif

gentle lodge
#

@atomic osprey can you not

#

I know

atomic osprey
#

I can

weary peak
#

@atomic osprey stop it, it's getting removed with a reason

safe kettle
#

STOP IT.

atomic osprey
#

No

gentle lodge
#

but its inappropriate

steel zodiac
ivory kelp
#

Get banned

atomic osprey
#

It's a gif

gentle lodge
#

Smh skiny

bronze moon
#

what is?

gentle lodge
#

its inappropriate gif

heady heath
#

Subspace, because even though we are on the same "team" here, you are taking it a bit far with some of the cost argument

bronze moon
#

nobby what happened

atomic osprey
gentle lodge
#

its a man showing pp to other person @atomic osprey

weary peak
#

Innaproriate gifs which he keeps posting

ivory kelp
#

@atomic osprey arrête de fair ton gamin c'est un serv sérieux mais où il ya des enfants si t'arrête pas bah on te ban

gentle lodge
#

Yes

safe kettle

ivory kelp

He will understand in french

gentle lodge

@ivory kelp cul , whatsup

ivory kelp
#

Lol you're lucky they're not French, but it's annopriate

atomic osprey
#

Why

#

Do you undestand ?

weary peak
#

Do we really have to lock this up..?

ivory kelp
#

@safe kettle welp he just told my irl name, took fun of it and he's acting up on me

atomic osprey
#

Rofl

You bothering me

drifting knotBOT
#

dynoSuccess SkinyGringo#1399 was muted

heady heath
#

you're starved for attention. please go away

ivory kelp
#

He's just jealous bcs I took one of his friends but it's not for today

#

Thank you

drifting knotBOT
#

dynoSuccess SkinyGringo#1399 has been warned.

weary peak
#

Aight..

#

Enough is enough

gentle lodge
#

Thank you Nobby, very nice

ivory kelp
#

This guy is ugh.

gentle lodge
#

Yes

#

Big yikes

bronze moon
#

now to lighten the mood again

heady heath
#

anyway, adding MP over expanding the core gameplay mechanics of TT would be just a dang shame

bronze moon
#

ft9s33

#

first come first serve

gentle lodge
#

Ah dang

narrow epoch
#

I thought this ended lol

gentle lodge
#

I'm on computer

heady heath
#

we have a month to talk about it!

#

lol

gentle lodge
bronze moon
#

exactly

#

a month long

gentle lodge
#

No diamonds for me then

#

wait

narrow epoch
#

Btw im leaving for today

gentle lodge
#

did suggestion channel deleted?

bronze moon
#

no

gentle lodge
#

why tho? @narrow epoch

heady heath
#

because it's really hard to think of legitimate arguments for pro MP

narrow epoch
#

I need to charge my phone

heady heath
#

:^)))

gentle lodge
#

ah ok

mellow kettle
#

taken down to clear it

gentle lodge
#

ok

bronze moon
#

its invisible

heady heath
#

so say if MP wins, the game will literally never expand transportation mechanics?

#

or is that the other suggestions will be put in the basement just in jest

ivory kelp
#

I hope so

#

Cuz TS would be good to

#

And it would take less time

mellow kettle
#

It gets put in the basement

#

While the winner gets put on work desk

#

Then we uses shelves

junior scaffold
#

guys vote w

#

it will add me into the game goys vote w

candid drift
#

what to build for event

#

town

#

city

#

?

junior scaffold
#

vote w

steel zodiac
#

@mellow kettle that is legitimately disheartening, since that means it will forever be impossible for me to build a car-free metropolis, which is what I want from this game more than anything else

junior scaffold
#

just do it

mellow kettle
#

What's wrong with building a car free metropolis?

steel zodiac
#

nothing, in fact, that's what I want

mellow kettle
#

Disable car drawing

steel zodiac
#

but as of right now, that's not possible in TheTown, unless public transport options are expanded upon

#

@mellow kettle the problem isn't that I can see cars, the problem is that cities in the game need car traffic in order to function

mellow kettle
#

They don't.

young hull
#

they only need road

steel zodiac
#

roads are needed for zones to develop buildings, and roads WILL be populated with car traffic if there are buildings nearby

#

like, I want the options to make so-called "walkable cities"

young hull
#

if u build no residential there would be no road

#

and isnt there a path plugin that is acts like road without cars?

weary peak
#

Kinda like the district tool in C:S? @steel zodiac

#

Where you can ban cars in certain districts

pliant brook
#

nO

#

You ban heavy vehicles

weary peak
#

And cars, and bikes, and give free health care

#

and let people suffer in poor districts

steel zodiac
#

the option to ban car traffic should be implemented, yes

#

but it won't

weary peak
#

It would be cool, maybe as a part of the dynamic systems? I dunno

pliant brook
#

@weary peak yes ban cars and walking people and they only can leave house by bike

weary peak
#

Yes

candid drift
#

i also liked the function for public transportation.

#

logical.

pliant brook
#

I guess i found a bug or glitch

gentle lodge
#

Untergrundkabel

mellow kettle
#

It's called hydrogen

pliant brook
#

hydrogen bomb

#

Wait

#

Hydrogen + Oxygen is Water

#

quick physics

ivory kelp
#

I... I didn't even know that

#

I'm bad at physics

mellow kettle
#

H2O

weary peak
#

H + O + O = H2O

#

Quick maths

pliant brook
#

welcome to the Einstein-Group @ivory kelp

steel zodiac
#

that's not really how it works @weary peak

weary peak
#

wait no indeed, its 2 H's

pliant brook
#

OOF

#

Hydrogen connects the 2 Oxygen

#

Or idk

#

Just glue em together like lego bricks

steel zodiac
#

it's more like this:
2 hydrogen molecules + 1 oxygen molecule ---> two water molecules

pliant brook
#

And there you have water

mellow kettle
pliant brook
#

alright

weary peak
#

O
/
H

O

#

basically

pliant brook
#

ok nerd

weary peak
#

but like JA said, internet yes

pliant brook
fickle lynx
#

Now I am tense because everyone votes A

pliant brook
#

I am past tense

fickle lynx
#

Multiplayer is pointless

pliant brook
#

yeah kinda

fickle lynx
#

I join in on the adventure with Nobby to rebel against multiplayer

mellow kettle
#

Or is it?

fickle lynx
#

Vsauce mode: ON

candid drift
#

multiplayer would be interesting on a pixel city building game

pliant brook
#

I cant wait to play a town with someone remaking berlin wall #2

#

oof

candid drift
#

minecraft creative style multiplayer where you /claim a area

fickle lynx
#

I kind of have a feeling that people will forget about multiplayer just like fireworks

pliant brook
#

yes

steel zodiac
#

@candid drift you're forgetting that in minecraft you only have access to the very proximity of your player avatar, but in TheoTown (and pretty much all other city builders) you've got access to the entire map

ivory kelp
#

@candid drift Making MP coasts money, it would be very expensive and before making that a thing we need to implement other things like better transport system. It would take lot of time to implement and add glitches

fickle lynx
#

^

#

d is a really good one

pliant brook
#

@ivory kelp yes finally some knowledge

#

i also thought about that

#

I doubt it only PC Players or memberships like Xbox Live or PSN be able to play multiplayer

naive jackal
#

Making any feature for the game costs something

#

Time, money, etc

pliant brook
#

Yes but Multiplayer costs the most

naive jackal
#

How can you be so sure?

fickle lynx
#

it's unpredictable if people will use the feature or not

pliant brook
#

Because server, host, management,...

naive jackal
#

We don't know how it will work

vague matrix
#

I've made multiplayer games

#

It's hard

steel zodiac
#

@naive jackal that is very much true, but implementing multiplayer would take A WHOLE LOT more work than other options

pliant brook
#

we know how almost all multiplayers work

vague matrix
#

It would most likely be peer to peer

naive jackal
#

Doesn't peer to peer not use servers tho?

vague matrix
#

So not much load on theotown servers

#

Yeah for matching

#

But plugin store is already hosted by them

#

So they can just put it on the same server

naive jackal
#

If they already have the infrastructure, then what's the big cost here?

vague matrix
#

Programming

naive jackal
#

But programing is needed for every item here, so that's a weak argument

vague matrix
#

Yes

ivory kelp
#

Hosting multiple players in one area coasts money in general

vague matrix
#

I'm not really against multiplayer

#

Why would it though

#

Theotown server just hooks players together and the player hosts

pliant brook
#

Yes

vague matrix
#

Like openttd

gentle lodge
#

bruh what to heck is happening?

pliant brook
#

What about Hosting your own server

ivory kelp
#

Here is an example. COD uses players Wi-Fi to make a server so they pay money every time. And "removes" it

vague matrix
#

Idk about thay

naive jackal
#

Tbh we should be voting for the features that are hardest to emulate with plug-ins. That's why MP has my vote

vague matrix
#

With cod the simulation is run on cod servers

#

Openttd multiplayer runs the simulation on the host pc

ivory kelp
#

Before trying to make something that big we need to upgrade the samol things

pliant brook
#

Yes

vague matrix
#

They only need server for server list

#

Which isn't an intensive task

#

Probably

#

I'm not a game developer so don't trust me

ivory kelp
#

That's what I mean

vague matrix
#

I just make dumb games in my free time

#

I think openttd would be best

fickle lynx
#

@vague matrix you mean a big game developer?

ivory kelp
#

Again, upgrade the small things like transport

vague matrix
#

Nah I'm just a student

fickle lynx
#

fireworks are forgotten

pliant brook
#

Upgrade buses for more capacity

fickle lynx
#

make them more fun

gentle lodge
#

Yea

#

Do people use fireworks today?

vague matrix
#

I want the dynamic systems

fickle lynx

custom bus models just like in cities skylines

To make the city feel more alive

@gentle lodge I normally make them around new years eve

#

Seems like a lot of poeple want multiplayer tho

ivory kelp

And again theotown is a city building game and not a war game

vague matrix
#

Yes

#

What about a tourism expansion plug-in?

vague matrix
#

Custom parks?

heady heath
#

can the devs add mouse wheel scrolling to the menus?

#

lol

fickle lynx
#

make multiplayer a dlc

naive jackal
#

I believe we were supposed to get a system like that at some point, but it never came to fruition

mellow kettle
#

You will.

#

It will be part of winning.

fickle lynx
#

@mellow kettle leak prototypes of the ideas

mellow kettle
#

no

fickle lynx
#

i want dark mode and transport

mellow kettle
#

That goes against the contract.

naive jackal
#

Dark mode shouldn't be an entire update tbh

#

That's not something I would consider a worthwhile update on it's own

#

?

vague matrix
#

I want more dynamic

fickle lynx
#

day and night plugins don't change ui as i am aware

vague matrix
#

I don't really care about dark mode ui

naive jackal
#

Neither do I tbh

vague matrix
#

The game bright enough that I don't think it'll make much of a difference

naive jackal
#

I'm used to light mode anyway

mellow kettle
#

Tourism is a dynamic system.

harsh umbra
#

How they are going to make multiplayer mode

vague matrix
#

good

#

With effort

#

And coffee

fickle lynx
#

gtg

vague matrix
harsh umbra
#

I need how it works for that

#

Not how to

vague matrix
#

Idk we just had a big discussion about it

#

Maybe they don't have that figured out yet?

harsh umbra
#

I wish they will do like multiplayer city

#

No

vague matrix
#

I hope it'll be co-op

harsh umbra
#

But seen it

#

Yes

#

Co op

#

No

vague matrix
#

I don't want that

#

If you got co-op that can probably be done too

harsh umbra
#

Total chaos

If you wanna ruin a friend's day

#

Destroying of towns is reserved to pile of admin commands for punishments

#

What a nice joke

weary peak
vague matrix
#

I was thinking more of an invite system so you can play with a friend or 2

mellow kettle
#

That's not how it's gonna work.

vague matrix
#

But servers would be cool too

harsh umbra
#

Aw man

#

Same

mellow kettle
#

To resolve missing plugin issue, if you don't have that plugin, you won't be able to join.

pliant brook
#

Ah yes

harsh umbra
#

Yees

gentle lodge
#

bruh

vague matrix
#

Cuz restarts for loading plugins

harsh umbra
#

@candid drift agree

vague matrix
#

Would be complicated

gentle lodge
#

this is theotown not minecraft

pliant brook
#

What about saving a plugin into a server and let the server load the plugins for the palyers @mellow kettle

#

Players

vague matrix
#

Maybe add it down the line?

pliant brook
#

like upload to the server

#

So incase the other player doesn't have it

#

It doesn't matter

vague matrix
#

A coherent list of all the plugin differences is a necessity tho

#

Like factorio

mellow kettle
#

No.

vague matrix
#

Which won't let you join modded servers but will show which mods you're missing

mellow kettle
#

Since there isn't an attribute for plugin which gives its name

#

It will be taken with missing IDs

vague matrix
#

Ooof

#

Ok fair enough

mellow kettle
#

Tried uninstalling DSA?

#

300 missing IDs

#

DSA is updated real-time

#

Currently I'm working on making the moon system better and adding new mechanics.

As we speak?

No

What was that

mellow kettle
#

Nothing

naive jackal
#

The RAM you need to play TT lol

mellow kettle

Nonono

The ram you need to run TheoTown 4K

#

Coming late 2200

naive jackal
#

So, never

#

Big oof for people who hate pixel art graphics

#

4k?

mellow kettle
#

Whole texture space for 10 buildings

#

Nah

naive jackal
#

Nice

mellow kettle
#

Won't be enough for a logo alone

naive jackal
#

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make

#

Plug-in time bois

mellow kettle
#

Unless we use something that Minecraft does

#

The graphics engine

vague matrix
#

Crisp

mellow kettle
#

however, that destroys things that require alpha channel

vague matrix
#

Rip

mellow kettle
#

insert buggy Minecraft water here

#

No plans.

vague matrix
#

What else is there

#

I'd like realistic airports

#

The boarding tube things?

mellow kettle
#

Use suggestions whenever it gets back on.

#

We literally forget something we discussed 30 mins ago

pliant brook
#

Huh

#

I would like kfc in theotown

#

Time to do that

vague matrix
#

Give it an offbrand name

Like theofried chicken or smth

Why flying cars

for more commuism in world

gentle lodge
#

no

candid drift
#

Alright there has to be multiplayer

#

Which is probably the hardest to do but I’d love to see it

#

How would multiplayer work?

#

I never played multiplayer on a city builder before.

#

multiple cities in one region

#

overseen by one player

#

for each city

steel zodiac
#

flying cars, even if we assume they'd function as we often see them do in fiction, would be a logistic and legal nightmare irl

#

it's like the complications of road traffic combined with the complications airspace traffic

#

okay, now imagine a traffic collision mid-air

#

certain death for everyone in both vehicles

pale belfry
#

Or just use sophisticated computer control, that's an option too

mellow monolith
#

Would you put only a machine in control of hundreds of mini planes?

steel zodiac
#

@pale belfry okay, now imagine a company or government agency tinkering with said computer control, so that some lanes are only accessible to some vehicles, making it impossible for many people to access some parts of the city

#

in some cases, it might be out of legitimate safety concerns, but it'd probably be more likely to be used for malicious intents

candid drift
#

Multiplayer is cool but mass transportation is more important for me whatchu guys think

mellow monolith
#

Don't get them started again

wheat crater
#

Multiplayer could become catastrophic, but if they do it right it could turn out well, like you can make a multiplayer map where people have control of different parts of the map, or like people have other roles like transportation, housing ect

#

oh, okay, I shall be sorry for my comment

#

wdym?

#

like for people to be placed in a map and have to compete against eachother for the best transport network?

#

ohh okay

heady heath
#

C voters rise up

#

overtake the A menace

#

we must perservere!

grizzled jacinth
#

agreed

turbid flume
#

why cant we get multiplayer?

#

its gooooooood

heady heath
#

it doesn't even exist yet how can you know it's good?

versed timber
#

In my opinion it's not needed

candid drift
#

We really need a region creator

heady heath
#

am i hallucinating that i saw somewhere that a map (not region) editor was coming out?

candid drift
#

Map editor?

heady heath
#

yeah for making terrains

#

for singular maps

candid drift
#

You can already change terrains tho

heady heath
#

yep, but a map editor would imply expanded features, like perhaps being able to manipulate land more than3 tiles at a time

candid drift
#

Not really sure what you mean

heady heath
#

the "brush" size to raise, lower, and level terrain is quite small, especially when trying to create larger land formations

candid drift
#

Oh that one

#

Well it could get some improvements

heady heath
#

does anyone else use the green picket fence as a hedge instead?

#

it just makes more sense as a green hedge vs a green fence

candid drift
#

Hello

heady heath

I'm sorry for troubling I want to know what is your great work at TT so far

harsh umbra

Who

#

Me?

pliant brook
#

@candid drift ofc a big and successful city

fickle lynx
#

I decided to vote for B as well and now I made B at 69 votes.

#

oh

#

i noticed that you have only 1 vote

#

so you can only vote on 1 thing

#

i'll stay with c as i love public transport

#

a just seems pointless and unneeded

royal valve
#

I vote every single option except multiplayer

#

😏

fickle lynx
#

c or b should win

#

if b, c, d, e, f win, i am happy
if a wins i am angery

gentle lodge
#

a suck

fickle lynx
#

yea

gentle lodge
#

It would be disaster for theotown if a win

fickle lynx
#

talk about a theotown disaster

#

WAIT

#

how will multiplayer be optimised for people with plugins

gentle lodge
candid drift
#
  • Mass transportation (more cars, trains and boats) Even night lights for them

  • More trees and biomes, startup town options when you make a map, Theotown name makes sense if that happens

  • mulTipLayer?! BruH

versed timber
#

A seems like it would require a near total rewrite of some code

candid drift
#

I know right, it seems like a big work nobody asked for lol

#

Idk why it got many votes, if it goes then ill just support it 🤒

modest wing
#

Multiplayer is going to be a weird concept for a city-building game

versed timber
#

I mean we saw how it worked with that last simcity

#

I mean there's a reason that wad the last in the IP franchise

pliant brook
#

when theotown overheats my phone in 3min and SimCity in 17min

candid drift
#

Yeah multiplayer on these types of games doesnt fit

pliant brook
#

it would be interesting

#

one land, 2 players share

#

Can't wait to split my city in half and build a border

mellow monolith
#

Like the Berlin Wall?

pliant brook

floral radish
#

Man I wanted pedestrian ai

#

So we can balance pedestrian traffic with road traffic

#

And busses would hopefully be more useful?

fringe spade
#

Guys, vote F, we need a walking civillian, that was kind of cool

royal valve
#

Theorised conclusion:
Option A will never be implemented

#

Despite having the most vote lmao

fringe spade
#

Ikr

versed timber
#

Or literally anything that's not a

gentle lodge
fringe spade
#

Might be

#

Oof

#

I wish I can hack their acc and vote for F

versed timber
#

Well we also can't tell who voted more then once

fringe spade
#

Unless we count

versed timber
#

Well we (mods) can see who reacted but we can't delete votes

fringe spade
#

Oof

#

Wait, why oof?

#

This ain't Roblox

versed timber
#

Keep the vote fair

#

So we can't mess with it

fringe spade
#

Yeah I do

#

Or not;)

#

Hmm, suggestion is missing

candid drift
#

Hello

#

it would be very nice if there were the ages, with different vehicles, different buildings etc ...

charred flame
#

Tbh I think F would be the best option

#

Next is C

#

Come on, Multiplayer is such a very high risk... It could either be a masterpiece or a tragedy

#

There is no middle ground

candid drift
#

But what does the b add?

wheat crater
#

Do you know what a Region is

dull forge
#

I agree I feel it not gonna go well somebody gonna ruin it for everyone thing don't always goes as plan

floral radish
#

Region u would also be good. But I would rather have gameplay improvements than a region UI or especially multiplayer

fickle lynx
#

As I said, how will plugins be optimized for multiplayer?

#

Not everyone have the same plugins

#

I do not like how this is going

#

People seem to be easy-going about the vote

#

They don't really care about the consequences multiplayer mode may cause

errant zenith
#

i discourage multiplayer mode

fickle lynx
#

me too

#

even ja himself mentioned to choose wisely

floral radish
#

If ja really trashes all the rest of the ideas and chooses multiplayer that will be a blow to us all

#

I mean gameplay improvements !

fickle lynx
#

if we get multiplayer and it just doesn't work then we lose some really good updates

floral radish
#

Yeah..

versed timber
#

In my opinion multiplayer is a joke in comparison to the rest

fickle lynx
#

exactly

floral radish
#

Yeah

#

Region ui would improve ease of access but it still pales to the others as well

versed timber
#

The need for a multiplayer city sim in part killed the simcity series

#

Well that and poor design

fickle lynx
#

people need to really rethink their choices

floral radish
#

Yeah..

fickle lynx
#

you never know

fringe spade
#

True

fickle lynx
#

some may have heavily thought and decided to vote a

floral radish
#

These normies dont know what they really need

#

(I hope that isnt against the rules to say)

fringe spade
#

Lol

fickle lynx
#

but there are someone who don't think that think like oh, multiplayer mode is AWESOME, so I will vote A.

fringe spade
#

Yes

fickle lynx
#

I don't really care about those other suggestions, they seem unneeded lol

fringe spade
#

I just wonder how will multiplayer work

fickle lynx
#

Me too

fringe spade
#

Brb

#

Vote F

#

Lets do a demonstration

fickle lynx
#

I love public transport so I voted C

#

C seems good as well

fringe spade
#

Hmm

#

But the game already have it

fickle lynx
#

Imagine working boats

#

that transport people

fringe spade
#

Plugins?

fickle lynx
#

Eh

#

I just want more transport stuff

fringe spade
#

There's more than enough I think

fickle lynx
#

I don't see much transport stuff in plugin showcase or the plugin store

#

By plugin showcase I mean in the forums

fringe spade
#

I don't remember but there is instandbul ferry plugin

fickle lynx
#

There is never enough transport for me

fringe spade
#

But seeing people walking is kind of cool though

#

Oof

#

A is bad choice

fickle lynx
#

Definitely

fringe spade
#

Just multiplayer will be add

#

B,C,F good

fickle lynx
#

yeah

#

D is also quite good

fringe spade
#

What

fickle lynx
#

Not the best but good

fringe spade
#

But it was just a single suggestion

fickle lynx
#

by me

fringe spade
#

Might be good but not worth it

fickle lynx
#

It could be introduced in a non-major update

candid drift
#

Just gonna remind that multiplayer on a city building game sux

fickle lynx
#

Yeah

fringe spade
#

Probably

#

But ifk why it suck

#

Idk*

fickle lynx
#

You can edit posts on Discord.

fringe spade
#

I know

#

Too lazy to do it:/

#

There is only one way multiplayer will be good

#

Advancing war game mode

fickle lynx
#

But TheoTown is a city builder game, not a war game.

fringe spade
#

Well...

#

It have nuke, ufo, missile, millitary area so why not

fickle lynx
#

Those things are pretty much for roleplay

errant zenith
#

wheres my gun

fickle lynx
#

or decorative stuff

fringe spade
#

Well then

errant zenith
#

If you dont like theotown without multiplayer, find another game

fringe spade
#

You want Theotown with multiplayer?

errant zenith
#

i dont know why would we need multi

#

not really

fringe spade
#

So do I?

fickle lynx
#

Oh

#

nvm

fringe spade
#

Ok, whose in voting F demo

fickle lynx
#

As well as C

fringe spade
#

Yeah

#

ROARRR

fickle lynx
#

Let's just not get crazy

fringe spade
#

Lol yes

#

Attempt to get ban #1

fickle lynx
#

If you begin insulting people because of their opinion, then that's not great.

errant zenith
#

also D is kind of cool button to vote

fringe spade
#

D is bow

fickle lynx
#

The same happened to Kekman

fringe spade
#

Kekman?

fickle lynx
#

He was a talented plugin creator

fringe spade
#

What happened to him?

fickle lynx
#

But after he harassed a person in this server because of his opinion he got banned

fringe spade
#

Oof

#

I just wonder, does anyone understand what my name mean

fickle lynx
#

Kind of sounds like a name

#

A person's name

fringe spade
#

No?

#

fickle lynx
#

Something related to cars

fringe spade

True

#

It mean Mr Car

fickle lynx
#

Ah

#

ok

#

Oh

#

So you are Malaysian?

fringe spade
#

No?

#

Why you ask?

fickle lynx
#

Oh

fringe spade
#

What?

fickle lynx

I googled it and it said that it's malaysian or something

fringe spade
#

I am lol

Why did you even Google

Oh

TTT should have luxury car

They do

fringe spade

And not those boxy car

#

What

#

Didn't notice that

#

Boxy Cars are classics

#

They also consume more fuel from the drag

So maybe the rich people have more of them

I don't think rich people like to waste fuel

They're rich

To resolve missing plugin issue, if you don't have that plugin, you won't be able to join.
From JA himself regarding how MP will work with plug-ins

fickle lynx
#

Ok

naive jackal

Imo, we should be voting for the options that are hardest to add via plug-ins.

So in conclusion it will be literally impossible to play with anyone

You shouldn't vote for me then one

heady heath
#

i did a "top 3"

safe kettle
#

I can't decide what would be best.

naive jackal
#

Why would it be impossible to play MP? Just have your friend you're playing with send you his plug-ins.

heady heath
#

I know in the SC4 community redistributing other peoples work/plugins is a big nono. not the same sentiment in the TT community?

naive jackal
#

It's fine if it's done privately

#

Plus, who would stop you anyway?

#

It's not like the mods here can look through your DMs with your friend to see if you have him your plug-in pack

heady heath
#

the TT KBG? lol

#

but you're right

versed timber
#

Of course if it's done here or in a forums post you'll likely be snapped

heady heath
#

of course...

#

the official stance is to share plugins, but definitely not in any official channels, can't see that going wrong for anyone

fickle lynx
#

But if you do this plugin sharing thing then you have to go to such a hassle

Does Theotown actually cost money on iOS?

royal valve
#

@pale belfry Yea why?

pale belfry
#

Well it's free on android

royal valve
#

Cause Android is best

pale belfry
#

...

pliant brook

Not really

#

They both same for me

pale belfry
#

We dont need to get into phone politics, I really just wanna know why it's not free for iOS aswell

#

Seems pretty wierd to me

royal valve
#

But at least that if you buy iOS or Steam TT, you'll get free contents

#

That's a bonus

pale belfry
#

Free contents?

safe kettle
#

If you can afford a phone with iOS you can afford theotown as well

royal valve
#

But you probably can't download plugins from the forum

Less people download Theotown if it costs money, people are cheap

pliant brook
#

People be: "Why buy a game, where there's a free version with the exact same content and game"

pale belfry
#

Exactly

safe kettle
#

More people buy it, more funds lobby has to improve the game.

pliant brook
#

Yes

pale belfry
#

What's more worth it, less people buy the game for money or tons more people get it for free but watch ads?

royal valve
#

Lmao ads

safe kettle
#

ads bring very little revenue

#

on tap only

pale belfry
#

What? Tap only?

safe kettle
#

I think so.

royal valve
#

Ads doesn't even bring a benefit

safe kettle
#

Selling a paid game is much more profitable.

pale belfry
#

What does tap only mean?

royal valve
#

You watch ads, you get content

safe kettle
#

tap on ad, get like a 0.001 euro

pale belfry
#

Really?

safe kettle
#

maybe 0.01

#

depends on

#

but steam release was probably very beneficial

#

pc works so smooth

royal valve
#

Buy PC

#

Or at least, a laptop 4GB RAM and above

works awesome on an acer with like 2gb free space
