Sandbox mode

[PeachieDude]

For me one of the most important feature is to ahve sandbox mode..
I came hre cuz i didnt find any info about..

Is there anyone able to answer it?

I didnt like the graphics but well, we cant have a perfect game..
But sandbox would make me change the idea of buying this one (when released) instead TPH..

They said there will be sandbox mode.

Yeah, sandbox (or a comparative gameplay style) is a definite although from what I've gathered thus far it won't necessarily - unless they have plans to change it by the October release - be limitless money or anything, just that money is not a limiting factor and you are free to go into as much debt as you like with no negative result on your hospital/the inability to expand beyond a certain point. Which is of course a great prospect for sandbox lovers who are in it for the fun of building and succeeding without the worry of money in the bank. >:)

This has already been pretty apparent in the beta gameplay you can watch for hours and hours on youtube; players are often in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of negative cash but are still happily building away, living the sandbox dream!

I never saw a video.. but im going to..
Do you know, maybe, can you say something about being 'tied' to levels?
I dont know how the game is but i hope it isnt like TPH.. that ties you to maps to unlock features.. sandbox means freedom, and you dont have it when playing TPH

I went to a friend's house to have a time with the gameplay and i found it fun, but still no sandbox at all.. if you starte a new game, from scratch you wont have all rooms, all items and so.. cuz the game will only let you have it if you complete the next's steps..

Like, only in the university hospital you can unlock research room.. okay that you can use the research room thru all hospitals but you need to reach that hospital to unlock..

Sandbox means no restrictions.. no needed to pass that many 'tutorials' cuz every map is a little tutorial for the new room and so..

I liked this game, they are trying to bring the 'realism' of the thing to the game.. im not sure if i get it right.. but wow :) I may buy it..

Thanks for clarifying a little
Best Regards

From what has been featured it looks like you'll have options of undertaking established hospitals OR starting on a blank canvas somewhere around the size of either 50x50 squares or a larger 96x96 map to build away. But yeah, definitely check out the gameplay on youtube, it will show you all you need to know and more for what's in game currently and even check out the oxymoron forums to get a glimpse at what may be in the pipeline for the future.

aslong as the sandbox mode doesnt give you a billion cash straight up and requires you to play well to progress

SOLD!

It has sandbox mode for sure.

I saw a video with a dev interview a month or two ago on Youtube, and they specially stated they wanted the game to allow everything to be modded, even giving an example of saying if you want to add a new disease that they wanted modders to be able to do that, and add the equipment to diagnose and cure it.

I also believe they stated there were 3 map sizes, 128x128 being the large, the two sizes already given above were the small and medium map sizes.

The only thing I am slightly disappointed to hear about this game is you're limited to 5 stories high....but still I will cope with that given TPH is still single story. Plus, who knows, the devs may increase that over time, or modders might make that possible for those with a good enough PC to cope with it.

There's a sandbox mode with a bunch of options. You can choose to biuld everything from zero or you can choose prebuilt hospital, you can also choose if you want all departments unlocked or free building mode, so it should suit everyone's needs.

Two Point Hospital already release the Sandbox Mode

Ask your self why TPH released a first version of the sand box mode just one day before the release of PH.

[Blue_Bug]

In Beta people were miljons in the negative. But that was because money was free, because they had to test things fast. So you can't compare the state of the game then with how it is now.

There is a sandbox mode. There are even various options within the sandbox mode :

Pure sandbox : You start with an empty field (you can choose between 2 different sizes). However money is limited and most departments are locked. You have to level up to unlock the other departments and to get more patients.

Options for sandbox :
Free building : Building doesn't cost money.

All departments unlocked : You don't have to level up to unlock the departments, but be aware. When you have build more departments, the diagnoses become more difficult.

Before starting with the sandbox mode, please do your self a favor and look at the tutorials. It doesn't take much time and you will understand better what you can do whitin the game. This can save you a lot of time later on.

Two point hospital has been getting very negative reviews based on that the sandbox mode isn't that great. I looked at the reviews from people and two point hospital is a very bad game. It's not worth the effort or the money. This hospital sim is really what everyone has been waiting for.

The sandbox mode wasn't the only problem It was the price tag among other things which I will not comment here. But If you look on the forum there are quite a few problems still not fixed. The sandbox mode is not a true sandbox at all. Once you completed the scenario you can then play that hospital anyway you want to. This hospital sim is far better and It's a true management hospital sim unlike two point hospital.
