  • The Constructors puts us in charge of a building company, which I'm entirely unqualified for but there we go, and we go building! We're not talking decorating individual rooms here, we're designing and building huge buildings with many floors and rooms.
    We start with what the game calls a small plot but it looks pretty big to me. We do some blueprinting to design a building that fits into the space so of course we design a building with a completely sensible shape...
    With the plans made we then get building! We set up a little builders yard, complete with portable toilets, and then order our builders to get to work. They use a digger thing to dig out the foundations, trucks deliver materials and then there's the cement mixing/pouring lorry, which unwittingly becomes the star of the video for reasons I won't go into here but it's brilliant.
    Our workers weld and plaster and paint and then we get to decorate the outside of our building with some lovely flowers and benches and suchlike.
    NOTE: This is the demo version of the game.

    Unleash your creativity and build the neighborhood of your dreams. Adjust your designs to fit your clients' needs. Decide on the materials, the number of building stories, the shape of the apartments, and the type of light bulbs used in the hallways. Choose from a plethora of outdoor amenities to make your estates more appealing. Will you go for a small community playground or a rooftop basketball court?
    Claim the chair of a boss and become the owner of a construction company. Facilitate the entire process from designing the architecture to overseeing your workers. Handle the business side of things, cash in on your freshly built units, and gather funds for your next investments.
    Don't get surprised when your steel beam transport gets blocked by a random group of protesters! You might have to compromise on your plans to get your business running smoothly. Choose between installing costly solar panels on your roofs or risking delays because of unhappy neighbors.

The world isn't going to fix itself without the help of the more influential. People will look to you to take the initiative and lead the change towards a planet-friendly future.

    As someone who’s worked in construction management, this game is impressively accurate! Even down to the personnel micromanaging 😅 I just don’t know if I’d like to get home from work and just work some more 😂

      Children were banned from working in mines in (roughly about) 1830. Less than 200 years later, most popular game among children is Minecraft. If you love your work, embrace it even in your free time.

    Rebar is short for reinforcing bar, and it is lengths of rolled steel used as a framework to add tensile strength to concrete. It is used because concrete is strong under compression but weak under tension (basically it can withstand a lot of weight pressing on it, but it can be snapped or cracked fairly easily).

    They could add an "instant build" option. It was interesting to see how houses are built in detail in a game, but once was enough for my curiosity

  • @Artuitus
    @Artuitus 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    100% agree they need to automate the building and get rid of the pointless clicking. And instead focus on the blueprinting and customization aspects.
    Things like 360 placement of items, planning the interior of each apartment and allowing you to choose paints etc would be a lot better use of the gamers time. Letting you choose quality of building materials would also be cool.

    Quite a lot of silliness here, most of it involving that cement truck, but I don't think it was intended from the devs.
    I agree with you, it's simply too rough around the edges at the current stage, but I guess that's the entire purpose of these early demos, to test ideas and hopefully get some good input from players on where to improve.
    Personally I would definitely say that the zoom level needs to be improved. This is a game about designing stuff, so it's important to be able to get a good view of the designs... plus it also improves immersion a lot.
    Regarding having to click the workers during construction, I see your point, but what's the alternative? No user input at all during construction? Wouldn't that be boring? And after all it's called "The Constructors", so the construction stage is probably intended to be the core.

    • @Soken50
      @Soken50 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Then have it be from the perspective of resources management, assigning jobs to workers, choosing how many people and machines you want on each task rather than make it a sequential thing of -select all -tell them to do the task -wait while it happens -repeat, which is boring and needlessly tedious when you could instead designate 1 worker to drive the cement truck, 5 to lay rebar, 2 to weld it, 3 to do formwork and have it be done with no user input whenever a task requires it, leaving you to adjust how many people do a task to speed it up or save money.

    I certainly hope this is not nearing release as there appear to be many bugs and UI issues with the game. The tutorial and localization seems to need some major reworking as well. It does look promising so far, but hope it gets the work it needs before release.

    Our 2 bedroom is "big" by apartment standards here at 974 sq ft. (90.5 m2). Most in the building are 700 or less sq. ft. (65 m2). Definitely luxury apartments in the top floor of that building... penthouses even!
