@@monad_tcp At my company, there were several times when I talked to our mechanical engineer and even our EEs when change requests come in and can understand the grumbling that may arise. Being the software engineer, it is easy for me to make changes, as it is often just a matter of programming, but for our poor mechanical engineer, not so much. No wonder we 3D print so much stuff in-house before sending anything to production. At least for the EEs, it is a little easier as they can at least solder jumpers or "bread-board" things to test.

So Bridge! came out on steam in 2015, but it originally came out in 2011. Back when this came out it was genuinely the top of the line bridge builder game. I'm not especially surprised that it hasn't held up well, I'm pretty sure I was playing it on a Vista at the time, so we've had quite a bit of tech upgrades since then.

honestly this looks really fun, play more of this

I think a cool idea for the channel would be to show off some of the public structures that you helped design and talk us through your process and why it was built the way it is. Love the videos.

Couldn’t you have just done an under truss so you can use the cross beams anywhere? Edit: Ignore me he mentions it later anyway 😂

BTW RCE, I started watching your videos before I started working on bridges myself. I do train bridge repair. We just pulled out (giggity) of northern alberta with a complete redecking of a steel through truss bridge. Beautiful area right in the heart of the northern rocky mountains.

I like how there's no water under the bridge in the first game until the car crashes off the bridge and there's a splash

Interesting how the traffic in this world is somehow always completely symmetrical.

I don't think the first game had a physics engine. I think it actually only allowed predefined shapes. Meaning that if the dev made a bridge they thought should be an under truss, you would fail no matter what with an over truss.

At a guess I would say most people just didn't like how simple the games were. Each map seemed to roughly have one solution, if the bridge held it's own weight you passed. The "Stress" meters for traffic seemed to barely be a factor. For most part all you had to do was use most the pieces and be under budget and you pass. Maybe the harder maps got more complicated but I would imagine a lot of people don't want to wait hours of playing through the easier modes to get to something fun and challenging. Never mind there is no free build or random mode I think. Meaning once you go through all the challenges that is it, as again there is basically one solution to each map. No replay value for cheaper builds or the like.

yes, you should play ''The Ditzy Demons Are In Love WIth Me'' 🤣

20:40 “Please be good” haha even the game isn’t sure of itself

I enjoy videos like this, because sometimes (like here) they uncover underrated gems. I would definitely watch more of either of these games, but especially the sequel... seems like they cleaned up a few things the first game got wrong.

More background variation would do this game wonders. But yea, reviews are definitely harsh

wait-wait-wait- you're telling me that at 12:27 that suspension bridge is realistic? shouldnt that with all the traffic have the whole thing cave in on its self?

I would love to see Matt play that one bridge building Flash game which was themed about Tom and Jerry. I don't know if it's still playable

The reason you keep building the same bridge is clearly because Architects didn’t like the last one and complained to the council :-(

This reminds me of these bridge building flash games I used to play

I remember watching a video of these two games a long time ago, damn how they fell

The first one feels like it's got the low score because they've made the margins so slim for success that there is only ONE singular solution with only just enough pieces to do it. Unlike others that let you experiment and go over budget/give you enough budget and pieces for wiggle room to have solutions with room to save on the budget and be more efficient

Is there a section for crappy city builders? That could be fun.

Thanks editor for that shot at the beginning

that first game was the first bridge game ive ever played like 10 years ago or so. but my pirated copy never give me glitches, bugs or crashes ever. i didnt know it was on steam and bought for old times' sake and ended up refunding.. might be steam version or modern hardware compat issues ruining it but that game was not this bad..

We need more of this

When you go in expecting one of the worst games around, it'll be a pleasant surprise. But if you went in looking for a good game, it'd be a disappointment. I was playing bridge building games of this quality in 2000, and they were freeware.

For whoever wants to know it's ''The Ditzy Demons Are in Love With Me'' at the start of the video Edit: Went to check, and surprisingly it's already on my wishlist...

All the bridge constructor games give the wrong impression, that vehicles add significant load to a large/steel bridge. This is barely even true for wooden hanging bridges. The mass of vehicles and people is insignificant compared to the mass of the bridge. Of course, poorly maintained bridges happened to collapse during large circus parades, where a bridge was fully loaded with people and heavy traffic, ideally hanging bridges being overloaded only on one road side, tilting the bridge enough, so that half of all cables carry nothing. In the end, only bridge builder sims that have an earthquake button are somewhat realistic, for simulating fatigue.

"The ditzy demons are in love with me" ...

I thought it was going to be on cities skylines 2

Day seventy three of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).

Now that RCE did Bridges 2, he should go back and attempt to play Bridges, and see if anything from the second game will help him on the first.

Hmm it looks like you could use the crossbeams as road tbh, and they only cost half the amount ;)
