Promo Video

I have created a short (less than one minute) promotional video that gives potential players a gist of the game, and also experienced players an idea of what can be done.

Go Back

Sydney completed!! YAY!!

It took me many goes to finish Sydney. This is the actual town of Sydney, not the area. It requires a lot of coffee to complete.

I failed it about 4 times. During the first goes I hadn't written the no big trucks code so I could still bring large trucks (> 40 tonnes) right into the middle of Sydney, and I still failed it. The town would consume all the coffee before the truck could go back to the plantation and bring the next load. I knew there must be a better way of completing it, so I didn't change the difficulty of this one.

I tried a couple of other strategies, and also had to replenish the supply of coffee, requiring a lot of fertilizer. Each failed, but got me a bit closer. I found overloading storage helped a lot.

In the end I did a quick mental calc to best guess how much Sydney would consume during the time it would take me to deliver, from as close as I could get, using the biggest trucks I could use and prepared that much excess before even starting again.

I did it with four trucks in the end. Most of my fail attempts only used three trucks. I did use some "bonuses" to help me out.

Anyway, I don't want to give too much away and let you figure it out. Just don't start this one until you have a good idea on playing the game.

Now off to try some other tough ones.
