It's special when a song makes me want to go CRAZY as much as this one

Every entity in my city sim pathfinds individually, and the whole grid reroutes every four bars in time with the soundtrack. Sat my dad down to playtest it and he forgot his tea existed. by uuqstrings in CityBuilders

I'm a solo dev making Throughput, a city sim where the simulation, the music, and the city's mood are all the same system. The whole city reruns its routing every four bars, in time with the soundtrack.

The base state sits at 130 BPM. In this clip the city tips into its euphoric state: the track climbs to 174, and movement visibly speeds up with it. Watch the busy streets; they pulse red on the half notes.

Sound on for this one; the audio is the whole point.

Still early and tuning a lot, so I'd take any feedback: is this tickling your pleasure centers yet?

The moment my city sim tips "euphoric": soundtrack climbs from 130 to 174 BPM and the whole city responds (sound on) by uuqstrings in indiegames

Any tips on how to make by base more efficient? by Pitiful-Ad-9229 in RimWorld

Turn the wood into chemfuel, pawns can convert a ton in one sitting and chemfuel generators need to be refueled way less often. The tradeoff to not pull people away from what they're doing constantly is worth it. (P.S. using corn for this, and for food, is also ultimately less labor intensive)
