Introduction:
Machi-ing Maker 4 is a very simple city building game. Though everything is in Japanese, anyone can easily play and complete it. It does not contain any micro-management and you can't lose, ever. Construction menus are very easy due to lots of pictures.
Here's a translation of the save/load menu:Playing hints:
Build 4 lane roads. Only these roads can have bus stops and trams! I usually surround each island with 4 lane roads and use smaller ones for the rest.
Bus stations only work if you define bus stops. After placing a station (or selecting it from the menu), place bus stops on 4 lane roads.
Trams work similar, simply place stops directly on the roads.
People's complaints are always colored. The type of building corresponds with the complaint's color, so if you see a house being blue, you need to construct office buildings. One exception is the white color, which is for environment. It corresponds to traffic jam, noise, environmental buildings and government.
It helps a lot to have a turbo controller. Start the game, build a basic city - and once you are in grade 3 or 4ish, set your turbo controller to auto-fire on "A" and leave the game running over night. This way, you'll get free money after every ingame-day and you may continue later with enough money to complete all of the achievements quickly. The maximum money you can have is 999,999P.
When using this method, make sure to view a non-busy part of your city. The clock slows down A LOT when you view busy parts!
Step 1:
Your main goal is to have a city large enough to hold 5,000 citizens.
Step 2:
Leveling up: Deploying a number of buildings and finishing a day in the game will yield exp and make you level up. After each gained level, you can select one out of three special buildings to unlock. All of those buildings have an achievement tied to them which will immediately unlock. Note that you can save at 23:59, unlock a building, then reload and unlock another for the achievement.
Step 3:
Construct 100 buildings of each category.
Step 4:
Resolve 100 complaints. Simply build whatever the people want near them and the complaints will auto-resolve. Remember that the complaint's color corresponds to the color of the background of each building in the construction menu.
