Let’s talk about Tourist Bus Simulator (EN)

Zitat von Mathias

I don't have a really good answer to that. I just can say: You need a powerful graphics card for such a high resolution. If you set 200% scaling you need 4 times the performance compared to 100% scaling. So maybe this is ans option if you have a high end graphics card (e.g. GTX 1080 or RTX 2070).

GTX 1080 isnt that high end anymore. And it will most likely not run 200% scaling.

that being said, I would like to adress something about Tourist Bus Simulator:

There is 1 thing which bothers me in Tourist Bus Simulator, this is the fact longer busses cant make corners properly inside the villages and on the hillside roads. It is pretty much impossible to make those corners with all the trafic and the tight roads. You will always get either gridlocked by traffic or drive over roadsigns or get stuck on rocks. It is a bus game after all so IMO you should make the roads drivable for all busses which are in the game.

Maybe you are right, after a while it got easier to drive the narrow roads in some of the areas in Tourist Bus Simulator. And especially in the narrow mountain route it is nice for the AI vehicles to wait for you to pass in some of the corners. I do think it is important to have a community who can also give their opinions and feedback tho. I feel like in this forum some of the members are just here to only praise the developers and any criticism seems invalid to them. Overall I like Tourist Bus and Fernbus alot, but it can only get better when community members will post feedback, opinions and criticism. This is not necessarily related to this specific forum post, but more in general. Wanted to get that off my chest.

Oh there is criticism, don't worry. There is plenty to criticise about our products (more than we care to admit). People definitely do not praise us all the time, maybe you should check out some threads Criticism is very important and encouraged, that's the only way we can grow and make our games better. The community makes every game stronger!

It is just that we want constructive and respectful reports and keep an eye on the tone of the messages around here. That is what makes this forum different from platforms like Steam etc. You can give negative feedback in a way that is non-toxic. There is also room for positive feedback of course. We also like a pat on the back sometimes

Maybe you've got the impression because we polished the games in the last updates a lot and the community noticed. There is still a long way ahead of us, but let's just enjoy the good times shall we?

Best regards

This wasnt my point. My point was there are certain community members who are only positive no matter what. Sure there is criticism , but not by those people im mentioning, thats the thing. I've seen this enough in the forums. If cricitism is toxic or not wasnt a part of my original comment and is not really related in any way, because I take it as granted to be non toxic. It was strictly about some members praising the developers no matter what. I wasnt trying to be negative. If new forum members are scared away when they post criticism because some members here automatically fully defend the devs, even in a overly annoying way, like they will tell you how you are wrong and they are right, this is not encouraging for new people to join the forums.

As Quarney said, we´re definately open to criticism, and I think we proved more than enough that we hear our community regardless if it is positive or negative feedback, take it to heart and try to implement wishes and suggestions. It takes a while sometimes, or actually quite often, but we´re definately up to it. Nobody gets banned here for simply having a critical opinion, but we do insist on keeping a friendly level to it.

The current mood seems to be quite good with the recent performance and other improvements, and it is actually very enjoyable as a Dev that many people do express that they like the recent changes. This indeed could look like only heysayers instead of neysayers here, but you´re here long enough I think that you seen it the other way around.

My previous reply to you was not intended to be rude or anything, reading it again now I understand it could seem like it was, sorry for that, that was not my intention.

I personally think widening the roads in Fuerteventura would very much destroy all little challenging spots, which is easy to avoid by simply choosing a bus you feel comfortable with.

Yes I agree you (TML) are open to cricitism. My comment was not aimed at TML studios members but at certain community members. Btw when I was describing a certain type of comment I did not mean your comment (reply to me). I just decided to write this now, but it was not related to our conversation about Tourist Bus Simulator.
