Oh yes, I am familiar with it indeed. Been playing it back in the day, and recently got my friends and SO into it and has been playing it daily for a couple of months now.
That was my main inspiration behind trying to make it into a videogame. I have a pretty good insight into what works and what frustrates about using StreetViews for your game locations, and I have a few ideas on how to make it into a more enjoyable experience, and how to enhance it on top of that. Oh, and I don’t plan on limiting myself with only real-world locations.
I’m aiming to be releasing content updates every few weeks, so we’ll see how it goes.
Thanks for the tip!
