I decided to add a mechanic that allows the player to expand the city themselves. I hope this makes the game more engaging for the player and—more importantly—results in city growth behavior that is easier to understand.

The option to expand the city becomes available once the city has accumulated enough "points" (population).

Also, in the video, the houses are positioned somewhat haphazardly (for debugging purposes). The final plan is for the houses to appear only within the city limits.

AI disclosure: All the code and content are created by hand (for now, just by me). AI is used only for temporary UI mockups (the video shows just two AI-generated icons, kept temporarily as a reference for a future artist).

I can't get past stage 5. I destroyed a solid tower, leaving a hole in the wall. There's nowhere to go.

Either I'm missing something, or this is a pirated cartridge (a replica cartridge, yes)

I've added a signal system for trains.

Now, a train won't enter an intersection if the intersection itself is occupied by another train or the next section along the route is occupied.

This means that trains can travel in opposite directions. I didn't initially plan for this system, assuming it would complicate gameplay (after all, the game is meant to be tablet-friendly). But the risk of the map becoming overly complex with routes and detours prompted me to implement a signal system.

Do you think this is unnecessary? It's also confusing that intersections act as signals, meaning the train stops at them if the track is occupied. Even though there's no visual signal there. Will this confuse the player? Then why even install signals? They divide the route into sections and restrict the route in a given direction.

P.S.: In the video, you can see the trains stopping on their own, without any warning. I'm stopping them intentionally for debugging purposes, to occupy the necessary track for testing. This may be misleading and create some ambiguity in the video :(

AI disclosure: Almost everything in the game is human-made. AI was used to generate two icons (the first few seconds of the video at the bottom of the screen; these icons will not be used in the final version). AI was also used as an assistant to generate mockups for the placement of UI elements.

Приветствую.

В выходные приспичило попробовать одну из нейронок и обернуть это все в некий текстовый квест.

Суть игры, ИИ по заданной теме генерируют ситуацию и задает цель игроку, например: "Вы оказались в тюрьме, ваша цель выбраться" (это очень кратко если). Промт задан описать сюжет на пару абзацев и с юмором. На "прохождение" игры дается 8-10 шагов.

Вместе с текущей ситуацией предлагается несколько вариантов ответа, а также можно указать свой собственный. Более интересно, когда указываете свой вариант и пытаетесь "сломать", чтобы пройти быстрее, ну или просто прикалываетесь и смотрите, как ИИ отреагирует.

Игра «AI. Квест» доступна на андроид в RuStore.

A system for purchasing new trains, purchasing new cars, and selling them has been developed. A system for assigning train routes is also ready.
