We are currently working on a sandbox mafia game where you are the captain of a crew in a randomly generated city. The idea is that everything can be manipulated and interacted with. You write your own story on how you rise from a low level thug to a respectable gangster. Rob banks, extort business owners, set up illegal businesses or start a hitman organization. The choice is yours!
Putting city props into config files makes it easier to auto generate different types of cities.
We have also created a system where building models can just be drag and dropped into different folders. Based on the folder stucture and filenames these buildings will be correctly placed in the game. This makes it a lot easier for us to separate the development and modeling work. It will also help making the game a lot more moddable in the future
