This game scratches a weird itch I never knew I had. How did Bullfrog make one of the most boring places in the world into a really fun vidya game?

I've never actually legitimately beaten this game, I always fuck up around the 7th or 8th level, get overwhelmed by bad diagnoses and the epidemics.

Is this supposed to be Twin Peaks? Or did they go even further beyond and make it a game of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace which was based loosely off Twin Peaks but set in a hospital.

The game is cute and all, but I ended up not liking it very much.

There's not much to do after you build the required rooms and hired the required workers, just drag people around to speed things up or hunt rats.

Most decision making is reduced to the percentage at which you'll treat or discharge someone and spreading the specialties of medics to one another doesn't take long so you'll end up with an hospital filled with doctors that can do everything anyway.

I also never liked something in these old games where there's elements that they never explain how important they are and there's no feedback, no numbers, nothing at all that you can compare and see the effects of them.

I remenber making an office with only the bare minimum furniture and the docs would complain and request higher pay all the time.

Then I made an office with all the furniture (potted plants, extinguishers, etc) and he was happy all the time.

However there's nothing in the furniture that hints to this, no numbers that go up or an happiness bar for the medic that you can notice go up when he is near those things.


7e1232  No.15393448

The building interface sucks ass. The micromanagement required in later levels is tedious as fuck. The worker ai/toolset sucks ass.

However planning out the hospital is enjoyable and the game is very comfy, so it's a very enjoyable experience.

>>15393252

You should read the manual and online faq for old games like this, it's pretty much required to avoid these kinds of frustrations

Right now games have the complete opposite problem where the mechanics are piss easy to comprehend and there's usually only 1-2 you have to actually pay attention to and nothing else matters.

i think it's supposed to be a word play on the fact that two point hospital is a spiritual successor to theme hospital

two point hospital

>>15393448

The only thing I can't figure out is clearing bottlenecks on rooms that can't have multiple staff other than making a duplicate room, see: dna lab (very expensive), gd offices and more.

There's CorsixTH, a FOSS clone of Theme Hospital with plenty of improvements (like increased resolution and bigger screen view). It can run with the assets of the original game.

It sort of works. In later levels it's important to monitor morale and from time to time. Otherwise your trained top-level slave-wage triple specialty doctors may suddenly demand a raise to $700.

more like trial and error and stumbling through shit randomly until you hit it right.

Twopoint is pretty good, pirated it and had fun for a few days


fa3a0b  No.15398992

>>15394050

It's one thing to figure out the rules as you play by analysing the effects of what you do and learn from your mistakes.

It's another when you don't even know if what you do has an effect or not and what of the many different things you did or didn't actually culminated in the result you got.

I always though that extinguishers in the first where to prevent fires or help fighting them, but turns out they are just decoration.

Meanwhile Two Point Hospital actually puts tooltips and even a visual overlay that lets you see how atractive things are and what their effect actually is since not all decoration is the same.

any other good games in the series?

>Theme Hopsital/CorsixTH thread

How do you guys usually build your hospitals? I try not to put windows in rooms that realistically shouldn't have them (like diagnostic rooms), but sometimes I can't help myself just so I can see where I put radiators and plants and stuff behind the rooms.

I also put a least one trash can, plant, and waste bin in every single room (except for operating theaters, plants in those would just be unsanitary). Wards sometimes get two desks and nurses if its really large.
