Dino Polo Club recently released the Workshop update for Mini Metro, which allows users to create their own maps for the game. To further help with this I've created a tutorial video and a toolkit. The toolkit contains a written guide, as well as a JSON schema set up for Visual Studio Code by default. By using this schema in tandem with Visual Studio Code, you have access to error linting, autocomplete, and property descriptions.
Was It Worth It?
For all you freelancers out there, I built a 'project personality matrix', for fun and to hopefully help me to continue to make thoughtful work choices.
The idea is to grade current/future/past projets in different categories that matter to you, which gives you a score out of a 100. It's fascinating to see how various projects line up.
Adjust the weights / categories of importance to suit your needs !
