My first ever Steam game - Costa Verde Transport Department, a cozy traffic simulator - is OUT ON STEAM RIGHT NOW!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2403100/Costa_Verde_Transport_Department

Thanks to everyone for the enormous support. Many things went wrong during the development process, but at least I learnt a lot and managed to release a game :)

@lisyarus nice job. Shipping a game is super hard as part of a team dividing responsibilities, and much harder alone. Really proud of you for making it happen.

@lisyarus suggestion: your Steam page could use more gif, the game looks better in motion I think😀

(Show the final stage is better than the initial build up, see other city builders)

@lisyarus looks wonderful and works great, buut all my turns are too sharp and i can't figure out how to connect highways and roads properly :meowthink: is there an explanation for dumbos like me somewhere?

Edit: ok, I finally put the two and two together about using them to build roundabouts :) was trying to build entry/exit ramps instead.

Really wonderful game overall :) congrats on the release!

lisyarus,
@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@virtulis Thank you so much! Yeah, the road building process is a bit unintuitive, and by far is the most common complaint among players >_>
I didn't have enough time to put together a better and more involved tutorial, so I had to hope for the players to figure it out by themselves :)

sb,

@lisyarus @virtulis It's impossible to put highway onramps on a striaght section of highway, right?

I made a beautifully straight and flat highway between some towns and I can't figure out how to connect it at all. I just keep getting scolded "The turn is too sharp"

What turn? It's straight!

@lisyarus just out of curiosity, did you put it on itch.io first or at all ?

lisyarus,
@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@tomtrottel No, I didn't put it on itch.io.

@lisyarus Got it! Worked without a hitch on my Ubuntu laptop.
Could only play 5 min (I am supposed to work), but it was long enough to realize how bad I am at it 🤣
Will play more as soon as I have time.
In the meanwhile: congratulations! 🥳
