National Transit

Super cool. Love it. played for 5 hours on day 1. got money worth already. Only complaint dev, is that once you succeed at a nation after about 5 or 6 hours, you essentially have unlimited money and dont even have to care anymore. Game could use difficulty sliders....Hard Mode.... or some sort of late game challenges to keep it interesting.

Great game in early stages! I can see the potential. Running it on Linux with Proton is a bit slow though :/

I love it, though i have some trouble knowing how things work like i can't fix my ferry system

Me encanta la idea, uno de esos descubrimientos que parecen grandes (espero no equivocarme). La idea de crear un Nationbuilder es genial. Es algo muy común, para las personas que nos gustan los juegos de construcción, que nos interese la historia del desarrollo de las redes de transporte de una nación, pues son las que hacen evolucionar al país económica y socialmente. Por tanto, una idea novedosa y que parece mentira que no se haya inventado antes. El juego obviamente es una early access, de momento,, por lo que hay que dejarle evolucionar. Yo, por ahora, corregiría algunas pequeñas cosas: - Posibilidad de aumentar el tamaño de la UI, no solo de las etiquetas. Para los que ya tenemos unos años nos resulta complicado leer los textos de los menús. Además, ajustaría los colores del texto para que no haya textos grises sobre fondos grises (por ejemplo) - También incluiría la posibilidad de crear carreteras entre carreteras, es decir, no solo de ciudad a ciudad, sino también, por ejemplo, entre una ciudad y una carretera, para poder crear intersecciones (eso ocurre muchas veces en la realidad, que una carretera no termina en una ciudad sino en otra carretera) - Manuales claros sobre el funcionamiento de todas la opciones del juego, un manual de construcción de redes, otro de construcción de infraestructuras, otro sobre el funcionamiento de la economía, etc. En un juego de temática novedosa se hacen imprescindibles buenos manuales para entender el concepto. - Está muy bien pensar a largo plazo (como la ha hecho el desarrollador publicándonos la hoja de ruta), pero le pido encarecidamente que trabaje de manera sólida, es decir, que cierre fases de desarrollo del juego completamente, que no comience nuevas vistas, ni nuevas fases de desarrollo, sin haber terminado y cerrado correctamente la anterior. Si no, el proceso de desarrollo irá dejando huecos que empeorarán la calidad del juego. Por ahora nada más, muchísimo ánimo al desarrollador y mucha fuerza con el proyecto, si sabes planificarlo y trabajarlo posiblemente estés ante un Triple AAA de los juegos de estrategia/tycoon, quizá una nueva saga (quién sabe). A por ello y muchas gracias por el juego!!!

Great game so far if you enjoy a transport themed strategy. I am looking forward to seeing where this goes in future

这个游戏给好评有可以给好评的点，但是不给好评也有不给好评的理由，这个游戏其实说白了就是给聚居点连线让这个地块发展起来，然后保证国家gdp稳定发展。就这么点事，但是呢，这游戏的细节又做的很不好，首先呢，系统分配的省份区块分布的极其不均匀，经常有一个村子就是一个省的，然后原生的聚集地呢，又不是按照省、地区首府、市、县级市、县、村、分配的，同时这些杂乱无章的地区分配又无法被删除，撤销，也不能说一点点升级，只能升级成特区。然后连线的道路有时候就很阴间，经常无法做到道路顺着连下来，然后道路也无法修正，就是玩起来很拧巴。当然这个品类喜欢的话玩起来也很有意思。如果开发者可以说好好优化会是一个很不错的游戏。

В целом игрушка неплохая для позалипать и имеет отличный потенциал превратиться в лёгкого убийцу вечеров. Даже для раннего доступа достойный экземпляр. Главное, чтоб его не забросили [spoiler] p.s. Названия городов на русском языке - это что-то с чем-то [/spoiler]

After about 4 hours of playing, I can confidently say that this game is a very interesting experience. Overall, I recommend it, especially considering its current price, but there are also several issues that prevent it from becoming truly great. The main reason I bought this game was because I enjoy transportation, infrastructure, city-building, and simulation games. National Transit fits that niche surprisingly well. Instead of simply managing a city, you are essentially responsible for developing an entire nation that initially has little to no infrastructure. You build roads, railways, ports, airports, public transport, and connect cities together while trying to improve the country’s economy. This concept is, in my opinion, one of the game’s strongest aspects. I also appreciate that the game attempts to simulate more than just money. Every city has statistics such as education, healthcare, GDP, GDP per capita, HDI, and other indicators that make the world feel more alive. Cities don’t simply exist as decoration; they appear to react to their policies, infrastructure, accessibility, and development. Whether every system is fully simulated or not, it creates the feeling that your decisions matter. My favorite part by far is designing the transportation network. Watching the map slowly transform into something that looks like a real country with highways, railways, and connections between cities is incredibly satisfying. Looking at the finished map almost feels like looking at Google Maps and imagining the history and development of your own fictional nation. That’s where the game really shines. The procedural world generation is another great feature. Choosing between islands, coastlines, or inland countries, combined with neighboring nations and different map layouts, gives every new game a different feeling and plenty of room to build. However, after the first few hours, the gameplay starts to lose momentum. The biggest issue is the economy. Prices don’t seem well balanced, and after a relatively short time I accumulated an absurd amount of money. Once that happens, a large part of the challenge disappears. Because time progression is manually controlled by the player, it’s also easy to accelerate income even further because of the manual month skip. Eventually, instead of making difficult decisions, you simply build whatever you want without thinking about the cost. That removes much of the strategic aspect. Another problem is that many mechanics feel underexplained. Policies, buildings, and various city systems often don’t clearly communicate what they actually do or how significant their impact is. Sometimes you’re left wondering whether your decisions are making a real difference. As a result, the game eventually reaches a point where you ask yourself: “Okay… what should I do now?” The sandbox is still there, but the sense of progression begins to disappear. Traffic management could also be improved. I ended up building enormous 10-lane highways everywhere, yet they still became congested. Railways, which I expected to become the natural long-term solution, didn’t seem to significantly reduce those bottlenecks. It would be nice if trains played a much larger role in solving traffic problems, making infrastructure choices more meaningful. Road construction itself feels smooth and enjoyable, but one quality-of-life improvement would make a huge difference: roads should be able to start from existing roads, not only from cities. Currently I sometimes have to create entirely new cities simply to build an interchange or highway junction, which feels very unnatural. There are also various smaller issues such as bugs, a somewhat primitive UI, limited feedback about the simulation, and a gameplay loop that currently lacks long-term goals. None of these are deal-breakers, but together they make the late game feel less engaging than the early game. That said, I don’t think these are fundamental problems with the concept itself. Quite the opposite. The core idea is genuinely excellent. The game has only been available for a short time, and despite its rough edges, I can already see the foundations of something much bigger. I would love to see future updates add: * Better economic balancing. * More meaningful policies with clearly explained effects. * More reasons to use different transportation types. * Better AI traffic behavior. * Dynamic events (economic crises, disasters, elections, etc.). * More late-game objectives and challenges. * More statistics and visualization tools so players can better understand what’s happening in their country. * The ability to build roads directly from existing roads. Some parts of the game (certain UI elements, writing, icons and presentation) give me the impression that AI tools may have been used during development. Personally, I don’t mind this at all if that’s the case. What matters to me is whether the game is enjoyable, and I think the underlying concept is genuinely creative. I’d much rather see development effort spent on improving gameplay depth and balancing than replacing placeholder assets. If the developer continues improving the simulation and expands the gameplay depth, I genuinely believe this could become one of the best transportation and nation-building games available. Overall, I recommend it. Even in its current state, I’ve had a lot of fun, especially because the core concept is so satisfying. For its current price, it’s absolutely worth trying if you enjoy infrastructure, transport networks, and simulation games. I look forward to seeing where this project goes. Good luck for the dev behind this !

Boy, I can't even explain why I keep coming back to this one so much, it's not a particularly complex game...but it's absolutely got that old Civ "one more turn...." quality to it. Greatly enjoy the game as is, and look forward to it's continued development towards becoming a 10/10. I've seen the Dev's roadmap on this and it's unhinged in the best way. Can't wait!

Good early showing in EA. I can see the potential of the fully developed game. I'm looking forward to future updates.
