It works, kinda. Doesn't play well with a 4k monitor - had to change the resolution to see what's going on. Pretty barebones, but I guess that's to be expected.

Icons on the blue bar didn't render for me for some reason, so that was broken.

Terraforming is pretty neat. Door tool and window tool failed to activate for me.

Nice tech demo.

Very neat tech demo. Definitely nails the Sims 1 aesthetic. But yeah, I'd really like the ability to scale the UI - at least somewhat.

I don't know if it's not implemented yet, or it's bugged, or I did something wrong - but I couldn't get the 'hide walls' button to work - so I could see inside and at the floor without the front-most walls blocking my view.

Thank you for playing!

The UI scaling should work with your system scaling but it's currently bugged, sorry. The next time I submit to DD, the game will have a new UI.

The 'hide walls' button is indeed broken. It's a regression that I let fester since I'm soon to rework the wall system to add room cutaways.

Ah, I see. Yeah I've kinda been there. On the note of redoing the UI - do you plan on keeping it along the bottom or moving it? Personally, I'd consider moving it to the left side of the screen.

I have yet to make a sketch of the future UI. At first I was thinking of going the rollercoaster tycoon / transport tycoon route and have the buttons on the top have everything else in floating windows. But I don't like floating windows...

I like your suggestion on putting it on the left side. I can put what needs to be always shown like the camera controls, the time and money to be shown in a panel in the bottom left. The tools can be shown on the left side of the screen. And an event bar on bottom of the screen and which a bigger panel can pop from it to show stats and what not. Well I'm describing the Simcity 4 UI...

Is there a way to scale the UI up? It's REALLY small as it is.

Obviously this is still really early in development, but it has some nice features. The ability to move the camera with the mouse (maybe RMB or MM) would be very useful. And the Undo button didn't always seem to work, for some reason.
The fact that you managed to make your own engine for this is awesome. Good luck!

Yeah normally the UI should scale with your system scale but it's currently bugged and to be honest I postponed the fix since I plan to completely redo the UI system anyway. If I'm to submit to another DD before the redo, then I'll find a way to fix the UI scale.

I didn't expect people would like to move the camera using the mouse, thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind for later. Currently the Undo button doesn't work for objects or roofs and there might still be some bugs lurking in it too.

Making an engine is the easy part of gamedev, the hard part is making the game haha.

Thank you!

If you don't see the UI disable your window scaling.

Alot have been done since the last DD. 

- Objects placement

- Roof
