I love a game made by just a single person, but when it's one about creating the most efficient highway interchange layouts I am 100% sold! As a civil engineer of 10 years specializing in highway design, I should be really good at this right? Right????

About Freeways:
Freeways is a game where you draw freeway interchanges. You are the traffic engineer.
Draw roads like you're drawing a picture.
Design for efficiency or draw the spaghetti junction of your dreams.
Simulate traffic flow through your interchange. Most importantly, avoid traffic jams.
Connect a whole world together in a network of interchanges. Features 80 levels.

After you put the back shell on, place the battery in the slot. Screw the Vr26 Jeeper back up and press the reset button. If everything worked according to plan you're device should show a thumbs up sprite. Plug the HDMI port into a monitor and wait three seconds. If it boots up on TV your in the good side. If it doesn't boot in less then 5 seconds quickly unplug. This can severely damage your TV and possibly start a fire

The ones with pictures have a "goal" efficiency (marked in green) needed to unlock the picture.

Interesting thing about map 4: The current version of Freeways doesn't seem to allow for ramps on that map anymore. So I couldn't have recreated the "brain" interchange there if I'd wanted to. (I got a score around 390 with a magic roundabout.) In other news, I was able to get an efficiency score over 500 on map 6. I used a roundabout interchange, but instead of adding dedicated lanes for both the north-south and east-west routes, I only did so for north-south because those had much heavier traffic; everything else was lightly traveled, so they connected to the roundabout.
@VinceOveson
@VinceOveson 2 роки тому
Yeah, I noticed that! Without bridges, that map is pretty tricky. It's the HWY 20 North node that screws everything up, because it's directions are in the wrong orientation for a traditional roundabout. Not sure what a "magic roundabout" is, but I can't get above ≈270 on this one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll add my two cents to the chat about this becoming a series. Yes, it's a must. I've completed the map with a score that is just shy of 31,000 with all pictures unlocked, but I keep popping back in to try to tweak the score here and there so it has definitely got something about it. I have noticed a slight quirk that is actually quite useful. If you are on the map and go into a screen you've already drawn, hoping to improve upon your score, you clear the level and start drawing again. You find out that your new layout is actually a lower score than your old layout (I keep a list of my scores in Notepad), but you're now in a situation where you can't simply get back to your old layout. Well, you can, but you MUSTN'T go back to the map or the new layout will be kept. What you do instead is either go from normal window to maximised, or go back from maximised to normal window, and you'll find yourself back at the world map view with the old layout back again. I've been using this trick to save myself from having to redraw a level multiple times to get back to a score that I had previously if I haven't been able to improve upon it.

I'd want to see you revisit some of the ones you bungled up to make them as efficient as possible. And I'd definitely love to see you tackle the more difficult later levels and spend some time on them to get good, elegant, real-world designs. This game is really neat, because efficiency actually values how much concrete you used, so it encourages real-world decision-making that can even include junctures for low-volume interchanges and complicated, highly-sophisticated solutions for high-volume interchanges. It's way different from most other infrastructure-heavy games where road budget isn't really a concern and you overengineer everything to be as efficient as possible (shoutout to Cities: Skylines), which I think makes it really neat for someone like you to provide commentary on.

This is a game I have waited so long for someone who knows roads to play. I've always been interested in the most efficient way to approach these situations, glad to finally see you playing it. Everyone says it's like mini motorways, but it isn't really, as it's giving you specific situations that are sometimes based on real designs. I think it's really cool.

I would love to see more of this. Especially when it comes to recreating realistic ones, trying to copy the M25 London orbital motorway would be a nice challange, since as we all know its shape forms the sigil *odegra* in the language of the Black Priesthood of Ancient Mu, and means 'Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds'.

That 4 leave clover on the thumbnail actually similar with "Jembatan Semanggi" in Jakarta , Indonesia. And circle on the outside is actually a new improvement to catter traffic on the clover so people can go to other side with ease. Check out "Simpang susun Semanggi" to help as an outer circle to help people go to the other side easily

I would absolutely love to see you do more of this! I completed this game but towards the end my roads were a mangled mess, usually roundabouts that just barely let the traffic round so I'd be interested to see. Also there isn't an undo button but you should be able to clear your current design in the menu! So you can redo things. Not ideal but better than leaving broken stuff.

I feel like this game could improve with bezier curve based road building and not free hand drawn roads. It would keep the organic feeling for the building, but make it more manageable.

The first road drawn sort of resembles a raised middle finger. In the U.S., it's the equivalent of a "backwards peace sign" in the U.K., and it appears to have had the appropriate effect on traffic: an "effed-up" snarl.

That exit off of 9 going to the NBV highway (gun store level) is very similar to a death trap of an interstate on the border of Memphis. You cross the Mississippi on a bridge, then immediately exit right and there's another exit that connects to it with a near blind corner. Cars merging into a single lane at a minimum of 50mph

Mini motorways is cool too, anything where you can flex your prowess really, it's the most fun to me when it shows that you know what you're talking about, as a suggestion for mini motorways: how about trying the massive highways they have in the US going all the way around the city with different places to get off in a certain district?

If you click on menu, there should be an option to clear the map. It does clear everything on the 1 map tile though. It isn't as good as an undo or an eraser feature, but it is better than trying to build more bridges if you misalign a road or something.
