Mini Motorways - Drive Me Crazy 

I love how roads in use are soft-deleted instead of the game just getting grumpy and saying "you can't delete that". I wish more games put that much thought into quality of life.

"In 10 minutes, it will be hell." That is an accurate description of LA's roadways.

Ah. Jon’s road designing skills. This will be fun. For us, not for the commuters.

“I’ve lost control of Los Angeles and I don’t know how to fix it!” Welcome to L.A!

Oh my God, Jon's worst enemy, ROADS

"What is even the purpose of putting a roundabout here?" Said no British person ever, before Jon.

I was unprepared for the panic of Jon not noticing new houses popping up and ignoring them for 5 minutes.

Jon: Interchanges are bad. Also Jon: *builds a monstrosity full of interchanges*

Inadvertently, Jon accidentally perfectly recreated Seattle’s atrocious road map

Why do I want to see John play a fusion of these two games. You control Mini Metro AND motorways simultaneously

So it’s a kind of a Freeways inspired game, but Freeways was extremely cute... But also based on Mini Metro.

I love how Jon has an option to have the road for the red houses go behind the yellow houses so they don't intercept...and he just decides to create an interception for the lolz

I had this on apple arcade for the brief moment I used that. This game is great, little tip I picked up for anyone grabbing it next week, use your extra road tiles to block open places from spawning buildings where you don't want them. Also, don't plug motorways straight into intersections.

I can only assume they didn't include one-way systems because it would make the game too easy for Jon.

"Does anyone remember how the road system went?" I was expecting that fitting Cities Skylines outro xD

An interstellar motorway? Game is more advanced than I though.

I just remembered what happened when Jon played Cities. This will end up in pure chaos. :D

...One of the four beasts saying "Come and see". And I saw. And behold! Spaghetti.

Clearly the devs have never been to LA because the LA River doesn’t usually have any water in it

Wow, an Interstellar highway even! This is advanced road management

11:57 Interstellar might be a bit ambitious

Strange, I was expecting "So close, yet so car" for the title pun but ok

All that needed was a motorway along the top to link yellows, that would free up red, and save the city.

Damn whoever allowed these building permits!

When I first played this on release I was able to connect houses immediately diagonally to a road without having that weird nub of road pop out the other side, however the next time I booted the game up I had the nub appear and now it wont go away. Little bit odd but other than that I am thoroughly enjoying this game much more than I thought I'd be, I'd love an infinite mode with unlimited pieces and space.

25:08 Dangg I never thought I would be scared of the amount of road tiles he has :0

Oh there’s a sudden influx of these bastards. That got me cracked up real bad🤣🤣

You lost on dark blue because you left a house in the middle of the map under the bypass unconnected.

Mini Motorway - The game where the most efficient communities are the ones of one color.

“A bridge that can only cross water is better than a bridge that can cross anything.” -MATN, 2021

Jon criminally underutilizing roundabout. A roundabout on the motorway exit could have saved his bacon.

37:00 If there's too many people trapped on the Motorway, just get the Face of Boe to use his last bit of life force to open the roof so they can all fly out?? Or is that too Doctor Who-ish?

[Yellow housing district] 7:34 Jon... 8:09 Jon... 8:16 Jon... 8:45 oh thank god, he finally got his perception roll

I just spent several hours yesterday playing Mini Metro....I will be getting this as soon as it drops!

"Los Angeles is collapsing" Yeah most of us Americans realized that years ago.

I'mhaving flashbacks of 'The road to Rome has been blocked'

Anyone else just watching a bunch of mini motorways? Its such a chill game. My recommended is just full of mini motorways now :3.

Dang. Requires Win 7 SP1. :( Last time I tried to install SP1 on this creaky old machine, it resulted in me needing about 3 hours before I was finally able to break it out of the infinite reboot cycle it was in. :(

This reminds me a lot of when Jon played freeways, and we all saw how that went turned out…

I can't help but wonder what the people who live in those houses feel about the orientation of their homes constantly changing at the whims of a reality-warping motorway builder.

Needs more road ballast.

23:31 Anyone irritated by the weird lump at the light blue Y-section?

Mini Metro is one of my favorite puzzle games. I'm *thrilled* about this one.

This went exactly as we all hoped. We need more of this content, Jon!

Ahh Yes. Jon and Puzzle games. My favorite type of video. I bet it will be less than 5 minutes before i get frustrated with Jon and buy the game myself

36:58 perhaps one of those 2 pocket roundabouts or traffic lights?

oh, this reminds me of stationflow; can't wait to play it!

The way Jon visualizes a city layout is *fascinating.*

Take a shot every time he says "Cucking".

JON! You should have just made a direct route for the yellows to the southern business along the coast around the dark blue business!

Jon has no idea how efficient roundabout are... Jon ! Ask Claire !

We need a one way road system in this game, just for Jon

“In short, yes. Yes yes yes yes yes” Understood!

One day, in a future Fallout game, we need to see a horrendously failed vault with just a few remaining, hastily scribbled notes naming the overseer as "Jon". No further explanation is needed or given.

I was just telling some friends about how your Cities Skylines playthrough was so traumatic people started donating to ask you NOT to play it anymore. 😂

Just as I finished putting it on my wishlist, Jon says "I know for a fact that some of you have already tried to buy this..."

Game looks quite interesting.

you dont NEED to connect houses...only NEED to connect business. so if a house or 2 are in stupid spots leave them disconnected

Roundabouts! That’s a new addition to the game, that’s awesome!

I loved this! Would love to see more!

Getting rid of that one roundabout is probably the worst choice he ever made.

I realize that this would be a...marked...genre shift; but given the long history of urban planning where roads don't merely react to cities; but can be used to shape them, I'm a trifle disappointed that you can't use infrastructure to get rid of especially inconvenient neighborhoods; or maintain a success condition where some of the motorists are ridiculously neglected so long as enough of the others are really, really happy.

(24:40) 7 clustered dark blue houses, 1 dark blue business across the map, through two major intersections, and an unused motorway. Jon? Jon? Jon! Edit (25:50): He finally noticed. Still nerve-wracking watching this. Edit (35:30): Just delete everything you've plonked. It should be easier to create a simpler system based purely on cluster/business locations, that to modify this clusterduck every couple of days.

Well the freeways video is one of my favourites. Hope for similar insights. And roundabouts. ok, the game doesn't allow as much free-flowing Jon creativity. but he's always doing his best.

I never did figure out why in gh0d's name you didn't build a roundabout for the bottom of the Red motorway going into the Red highrise... It would have let red and green interact without having to have a frustrating (to green) traffic light... That's probably why green was getting annoyed...

So I think that you should be able to block houses and businesses popping up on a certain place by placing a 'dead' road in the way. So anywhere there is a road.. there can't be a house. So you could make life easier (maybe) with this knowledge?

this is like watching biffa fix road conjestion in city skylines but in reverse

Jon, why do you hate a simple grid system? Why do you hate commuters?

9:09 dark blue house on the top right lol.

I keep yelling you need a round-a-about at the red and green building traffic light

This is like watching Blue's Clues trying to solve traffic.

Less than 10 minutes in, and we think so differently. I just want to take control and optimize it according to what makes sense to me. Then again, if we thought the same way, I wouldn't have bought half of these games. I'm just sad that I have to wait for the game to release before I can scratch that "no, you gotta do it THIS way" itch. That said, I really like the pace of this game. It starts to cascade really quickly, and if you're not prepared it snowballs out of control. I think the faster pace lends itself well to trying different things. Like their previous game, it seems so easy at first and then really starts to get you. Man I'm itching to give this a go.

Ooo, I've been waiting for this one. Can't wait for it to come out!

The indicators for new "buildings" seems too transient. The blinking unconnected buildings under the motorways is WAY too subtle. While Jon has always had a low perception stat; I can see why he misses some of these things, in this case.

Seems like Jony Ive finally got a new job after quitting Apple. Just look at this gorgeous minimalistic UI. It's lovely!

All these roundabouts. Not a single swing.

the real issue was that there aren't any one-way roads in this game, that would've solved everything!

32:03 McCarthy's final words, 1957, colorized

Mini Motorways holy ballsssssss this is cool (and really similar to freeways which also good but still)

Jon, you don't need to put traffic lights at every junction. Since you can delete roads at no cost, why not start with the simplest, cheapest option, then add complexity to solve problems?

Thank God there is no one way roads imagine how bad Jon would mess it up

So glad this came to Steam

I will be disappointed if there not a one way only roundabout system

I just went to buy Mini Metro. It's already in my library! A pleasant surprise.

The Violent Competion with Claire in Mini Motorways. When?

Seems to me you should use those roundabouts a lot more... possibly at the exits of motorways.

I played this on my phone few months ago. Nice to know someone’s doing it better than me 😂

Excellent game, I really like the idea of this one

Oh yes oh yes oh yes oh no oh oh no OH NO OH NO

"The Reds are going to kill me"

Mini a True Nerd

Jon's problem was although he created new roads and highways, he didn't destroy the old ones. As a result commuters were still using intersections which lead to traffic.

The life a civil engineer in a city with no zoning laws i see

Well this is about the last place I expected to see this game. Somehow I feel this will make me bite my nails more than FO4 YOLO

"'This Is Fine': The Video Game"

Ah, another Game for the inner german in all of us. And since I am german, It's even more for me!

i would love it if you played more mini motorways ❤️

Bought this game because of this stream.

This game is coming out on my birthday

This city is the most cocked up city ive seen yet in this game xD The game clearly hates you for some reason heh
