CitiesCorp Concept - Build Everything on Your Own
GamePlays and Tutorials in Your Language
I really hope, my tutorials have been a bit helpful - yes, it's not straightforward to play this game in case you are new to it ... following some awesome people who are sharing their thoughts with me, it takes couple of hours to get into it.
What I wanted to share with you today is the list of YouTubers who took up the challenge, played CitiesCorp Concept and uploaded some awesome videos. You can not only check out, how they are feeling about the game but also how they are resolving issues and tracking down bugs/game freezes.
For me it was great to makes notes, when watching their game play - based on that, now I can dive into fixing the bugs. So, thank you so much.
Now, if you like to see some gameplay in your language, visit their channels.
English: Dad's Gaming Addiction
German: MicroHazarD - TV
will keep you posted, once further languages will pop up.
For those ones who missed my tutorials - check this channel

Disclaimer: I got to know these YouTubers after release - there is no money involved, they recorded the videos out of curiosity and passion for gaming. I just provided to them some hints how to play the game.
Final remark: I'm still busy with answering your e-Mails - so, if you have sent me something, it will take a while to answer, BUT, I will answer :-)

GamePlay Tutorial #1
Given that it isn't that straightforward to play the game and there are no direct ingame hints or tutorials, I thought it would be a good idea to record this tutorial video that should help you out in the very first moments - implementing everything into the game will take a while, so this turned out to be the "faster" solution.
It's including also the already mentioned bugs - I played it on the Steam version - so, now I see them as well - what was the issue with Murphy's Law again??? Before releasing they weren't showing up :-) - in fact for some of them, I thought I fixed them already - how bad is that?
Initially, I thought it's going to be a short video - well it became long, so this is the content:
00.00 Basic Menus,
03.40 Controls & Camera,
04.42 Basic Gameplay Menus,
06.00 Building Options,
06.45 How to Build the Road Network,
11.19 Setting First Traffic Signs and Lights,
19.25 How to Build a Building (extensive!).
41.39 Allocating Functions to Buildings,
46.45 Pavements, Trees and Gardens.
go to YouTube and watch the tutorial
This tutorial does not contain detailed information about shops, production and analytics of the city (will follow in an other tutorial that has been already scheduled).
Please let me know, what you would like to know about the game, so I could elaborate on that as well.
I really hope it helps you a bit.
Have a great day,
Sebastian
First 36 Hours Live - A Short Update About Issues With The Game
First 36 Hours Live - A Short Update About Issues With The Game
first of all, thank you very much for all of your interest and support.
I'm overwhelmed about everything and it really gives me additional energy to keep up the work.
I'm still trying to catch up to answer all of your mails - so just give me some time to handle everything.
Nevertheless, I wanted to provide to you a short update about the first 36 hours of the game being live - I was mainly tracking all the issues that are appearing and I wanted to let you know about them - actually I started to work on fixing them, so I kindly ask you for some patience.
- Many people claim that due to missing tutorials, the game is really hard to explore - this is a fair point and I'm going to elaborate on it in several steps,
- Some features might be not that straightforward - when I was watching some videos, I saw some potential to make things more intuitive,
- UI overlays occur - this will be fixed asap,
- Game could freeze when executing a particular action - to be frank a first timer also for me - I'm looking into it.
- Potential issues with older Windows based set-ups - detective work ongoing.
If you find something additional, please let me know.
Please consider these things, before buying, because this hasn't been fixed, yet and it would be a pitty, if you would be disappointed just because of some bugs.
If you don't care, because you are a mighty player, go ahead!
For all of you who already bought the game - work in progress - I'm definitely not going to leave it like that.
Have a great weekend!
Sebastian
