Nice Idea

Although it is a nice idea the execution it feels bellow average. I do like the idea of building and construction and I was hoping for a game similar or even better than House Flipper but the results aren't so good. What I didn't like are several details: While you building several times the materials disappear in to the ground. There is a shop to buy more materials which in many houses you have to do it, but you can't sell after the construction finished the remains. For all the houses you have to follow blueprints. The skill tree although big it doesn't matter so much in the end. The whole concept either it is too simple or lucks stylist and imagination. If you like building then I would suggest to buy it on sale.

fun but not very believalbe nor indepth

Obviously this game is supposed to imulate the actualy construction work of house building. It has a very vague and general guideline and a "blueprint" that shows what bits and pieces you need to complete the project but not much in the way of allowing you to do it out of order of the "dev" control "tutorial, which often breaks down in the middle of a project. In fact, sometimes if you knock a board off of a cliff(say Northern Canada with the straw house-in which the boards should NOT be placed on a cliff in the first place! even if you don't do as instructed(and who but a fleabrained idiot would) drive the Chevy into the "blue arrow"! Even if you genitally "pick" up the boards and place them somewhere else, you nearly always konk into something setting a who lot of stuff flying 60(retaliative) feet in the air and landing in Limbo(where you can't in game emulation walk over and get) so the project is unfinishable(showstopper bugs we call them!) Most of the houses have one thing or another that seems off. And the "tutorial" is lame. You must finish in ORDER it says, not on your own initiative. The game seems to be made by very superficial people. for instance, like building a model car as "curbside" appeal tinting the windows black and and gluing down the hood. Most houses can be entered but lack any sort of interior. The ones that do it is very lack-luster and unfinished. for instance, the drywall in the Canadian common home is merely screwed in with your "speedy drywall" (acquired "feat") but their is no joint-compound no painting and looks ugly. The Roman House has no interior at all, yet overly detailed "landscaping. Bottom line their is no choice in anything. you do what the devs tell you sort of like control freaks. but often forgetting what to tell you next.
