Youda Camper

I played the demo a few days ago, and there were a few things that bothered me;

For example, the complaints which get lodged. Couple X wish there was an electric lamp close by. Campers Y want a camp fire. I found with the way the game is structured, it isn't too easy to go back and re-organise everything when you get more money, and more facilities, so you get some requests like that which are just plain annoying.

Also, people going out camping and complaining that the roads weren't stable enough seemed strange....

While you can't download the game or demo of Youda Camper for macs, you can still play a demo online at miniclips, or at the youda website.

I bought Youda Camper today after playing the demo from two differnet web sites.

My main problem is, it doesn't save, even though I put in a file name and hit enter and save. So I wind up starting all over again.

But what I've learned to do, is start out with four of each of the first camping spaces. Be sure they aren't close together though. I leave one square between each camp space. That was, I can go back and put in electric lights and trash cans in those empty spaces. I also leave one square between rows, so really each camp space has four empty spaces around it. The bigger ones have more empty spaces though.

I also put in a road and make off shoots to the road and put parking spaces in them, usually five parking spaces across and two deep, with a road on each side.

I try to leave the bottom of the first area we have to build, empty, to put stores, pools, bingo halls etc.

One thing though, I can't figure out how to rotate my pieces.

Hit the "R" key to rotate pieces.

I played the demo. The inability to pause or slow down the passage of time is annoying. Also, 800x600 resolution is far below what I had been hoping for. Further, click-dragging the Bulldozer would be tremendously beneficial, especially since you can click-drag roads.

The Bar consistently made me over 5k cash the first day I built it within the first 5 days.

Thanks Mike, the "R" key was probably the only one I didn't think of to try lol.

I agree about the bulldozer, and it could be smaller too.

I've looked at the screen shots and can't figure out how they got the camps made the way they have. I've tried and it doesn't work for me.

I've given up on that game for a while, I bought the new Build a Lot 2 yesterday afternoon and sat up all night playing it.

So guess I'd better get back to the camp and see what I can do with what I've learned.

There is a pause button next to the button with "?!" on it in the bottom left hand corner.

Also when you save I think you have to put in a name, then click the orange button, at the end of the name box, so it changes to a tick.

The game is good in idea and concept but needs some work.

If you have built all the way at the bottom you would need to go right to the top to drag the campers down.

The resolution is very small, as is the writing and everything on screen. I do like to play games windowed so I can do other things and flick back to the game, but everything is so small I probably would play this fullscreen and it would have been nice to be given this choice.

And I agree with the other comments that have been made.

Overall not a bad game though.

I love the game but had trouble twice. The screen went blank but the game kept running underneath. Had to restart and lost the progress. Anyone else?

RuthieJo: I had the same problem with the saving thing aswell but I worked out that you have to press the little circle next to the filename so that a little green tick appears before you press enter.
