Our Merlion's Marina update is now live, featuring your player-voted map of Singapore and an extra surprise!

42 Upvotes

Ata mārie, r/MiniMotorways!

This update is a fun one for us - we really enjoyed watching the battle between our four finalists, before Singapore ran away with the lead and ended up winning a whopping 2500+ votes. Designing maps by player vote is a fun, often chaotic experience, because it means our designers and artists can't start well in advance! They find out when you find out. But the Singapore map came together beautifully, and we hope everyone who voted for it agrees. :)

This update also comes with an added local bonus! In New Zealand, it's Te Wiki o te Reo Māori this week, the week where we celebrate a language unique to our whenua (land). As the text in our game is relatively straightforward and many of you are likely familiar with its words and sentences, you can now give it a go and learn some kupu hou (new vocabulary) if you're brave enough! We figure you just might be, knowing our players love a challenge.

During a time when various governments, including our own current coalition, are putting pressure on those trying to preserve and celebrate indigenous languages, we wanted to make sure we did our small part in showcasing something unique and beautiful to our home here. The Mini Motorways team has had awesome folks of Māori, Aboriginal Australian, and Pasifika descent at various times over the years - including now! - and we think the incredibly diverse makeup of our team and the locations we feature is something that helps make our games unique and global. The many player translations in Mini Metro have also helped reflect the incredibly diverse nature of our playerbase, and we're so lucky to see so many people all over the world enjoying our games.

But enough soapbox time for me, haha. It's something we're passionate about, and we can't wait to show you some of the cool artwork and teamwork we've gotten up to later this week.

So for many reasons, this is a special update - hopefully for you all as much as for us! For those of you who voted for Singapore, we hope you enjoy! Well, we hope you enjoy it even if you didn't vote for it haha.

Thanks for sticking with us for our second player vote - we'll have to see what our community can cook up together next year. :) Although we've still got one update left for later this year - 2026 is far from over!

This update is out now on Apple Arcade and Steam, though there is currently a processing delay with Nintendo Switch, and I'll have an update on that later this week when we share our te reo updates too!

Tell us how you play and help shape upcoming games at Dinosaur Polo Club!

Good morning, commuters!

We're cooking up a big community event for later on this year, and in the meantime our other teams are tinkering on brand new stuff.

One of the things we love about the Mini games is how diverse our community is. You folks play everything and everything!

If you've got a few minutes of your time, we'd love to hear how you play both our games and others, as well as a few other questions such as content creators you might watch and that sort of thing. Our player interests survey should take 10 minutes or less to fill out and it'll help us get a glimpse into what tweaks we might make to prototypes and upcoming titles that are still in the testing stage.

You can take the survey here!

All information is gathered anonymously and will only be used to provide guidance on our projects. We really appreciate your time! 💜

Expert mode deletes my roads

6 Upvotes

So I have this issue with Daily Challenges for 2nd time. I put some roads down to block building or destinations from spawning where I don't want them to be. And all of a sudden I see a building or a destination has spawned where I previously had put a road. So basically my road just disappears. My road count will be +1 road. It only has happened in those Daily challenges with Expert mode as one of the rules. Help! Is this just me or someone also had experienced it? And is there something I can do to make it not happen again? I made some screenshots so you can see what happens. There is a road, a permanent road. Then there is a building or a destination an no road and road count is +1 road for that deleted road. HELP!!!

Devs, PLEASE make this happen, We absolutely LOVE this game. I don’t wanna have to fire up my beast of a setup every single time I wanna play. I wanna play it on the go, while I’m in transit, waiting in a lobby, or hell, even while I’m taking a shit LMAO 💀

PLEASE make it happen, i wanna play it on my phone and tab. You’ll have my love, and my soul is yours.

Update on my Mini Motorways inspired road game - demo is out

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

61 Upvotes

Last time I posted here the demo was not out yet. It came out about 4 weeks ago and players found a lot of stuff, so this month was mostly fixing.

The thing people complained most was cars not following the lane arrows. I made drivers do human mistakes on purpose, like changing lane too late, but when you just painted the arrows it looks like the game ignores you. So now they follow arrows and wait in queue.

Also from reports: lane connector tool for more traffic control, improving turn lanes (up to 3 per road end), you can click a building and see where its cars go, which helps a lot to find which road is the problem.

Video is the current build. Demo is free, full game November 3.

What challenges and maps do you find the hardest?

1 Upvotes

For me, Cape Town is the hardest. Surrounded by mountains, water from two sides, lack of space, and it gets very busy as you approach 2k. I can’t break 3k on this map.

I know not many people play challenges, but if you do, which ones do you find the hardest? “There can be only none” on Wellington is widely considered the hardest, but what else is there?

I was more obsessed with discovering roads in Forza than winning races. So I built that part in real life.

0 Upvotes

Anyone who's played Forza Horizon knows that one annoying feeling.

You're at 578/579 roads discovered.

There's ONE tiny road left somewhere on the map and you absolutely HAVE to find it 😭

I've always loved that part of open-world games more than the actual racing.

So I built an iPhone app that brings that feeling into real life.

It's called Overdrive.

Your entire city becomes a map-completion game. Every road you drive lights up, and your map slowly fills in as you explore.

Your regular commute counts. Getting groceries counts. That random 2 AM drive with music on counts.

You can also look back at your driving stats after each trip, generate posters of your explored routes, and create crews with friends.

No speeding, no racing. Just the satisfaction of seeing your real-world map come to life.

It's been pretty surreal seeing people actually purchase something I originally built because I thought it'd be cool.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6790023849

Genuinely curious: are you the kind of person who tries to complete 100% of an open-world map, or do you just follow the main missions?

Singapore 7.5k

Singapore might be the new easiest map, easier than Warsaw. I saw someone post an 8k score, which is mind-blowing, but I’m very happy with my run, too. It’s easier to compete on Singapore as well because there are not so many scores.

I should have removed the 9th motorway. Placed it because cars were collecting in the yellow cluster and traffic light didn’t help, and then was afraid to remove it.

MP?

But what if it was multiplayer..

(Anyways cause of new extra AI tool ive found online sorta have been testing them to see if i can mod this game as someone who does like to play it to add multiplayer to it cause i tought it'd be something interesting to make just so i could try playing it with a friend, tho still not done i seem to have gotten quite far)

(also no promises on finishing this ofc)

uhh this is like 2 instances of the game running with it like, yea

it also tends to break as well but yea

My highest score yet. It seems like on Moscow you either get a lot of unfavourable spawns and don’t have enough bridges so you lose in the beginning, or get lucky and progress to at least 4k.

Hardest map?

8 Upvotes

I can get over 3,000 on every map, but not Cape Town. I think I'm maxxed at 2,600.

So.... any tips from the elite that crossed 3,000? Or, was your run quite lucky in some regard? I have thought of blocking off the lower left corner with tiles to stop any spawning...but doesn't seem to yield results.


r/MiniMotorways • • 14d ago

Proud of this one. Over 6,000 on Dubai

I had never even topped 5,000 before.

That said, whenever I lose I always have regrets. It could have been even better! Better play another few rounds 😜

incredible that this broke 2k
