Remember, the only real expense at the very beginning of the game is the monthly $2000 you have from the office building. People move in (more income), business starts growing (more income). And that's all you need for a while! Watch it grow. I place the houses and the business as close as I can because the little sprites can't travel very far at the beginning. This will become your town center! And anything you build in the next couple of hours should be around this area. Next to this block (or across the street) I have the office (to discover more types of jobs), Chinese restaurant, steak house, bakery, florist, a park and a deli (a bit later on). At the beginning of the game, all I did was buy about 8 vacant spaces all in a nice little compact block surrounded by road. The game gives you more than enough money to get you started.
You probably don't notice but all you talk about is build build build - which is the worse thing you can do when starting up this game.
What you do in the beginning of the game is very important in these city simulation games. Although it sounds crazy and limiting to have two offices within a couple squares of each other, this is potentially the best combo in the game. Office, City hotel, Office (yes a second one). There you have it, do this and you will be rocking in this game. Therefore I recommend building like this, where 'R' is a road, '#' and '*' are business combos, and 'X' are houses where people live: # X #

When you do this, and they upgrade their properties, they end up paying loads of tax and this is the solution to your money problem. What you need to do is spread out the scaling benefits of combos to as wide an area as possible in order to raise land values, INCLUDING land values of the resident's homes. This is very important, and turns out to be the secret to succeed. So you can still qualify for a combo by placing buildings at the following 'O' locations: O X O The window is a 3x3 grid like this: X X X Remember this when you are comboing with buildings that are 2x2. Important: To successfully combo, the three buildings in the combo have to have AT LEAST 1 SQUARE of their territory inside what I could call a combo-window. The mega large office you get way late in the game has range 10. Important: The range from which an office building can discover jobs from closeby businesses is 5 tiles. There is a secret to building in this game, or an understanding that you need in order to succeed, but unfortunately the game never makes this information available to you. How do you build to succeed in this game (to have enough money to afford successful growing, while researching all my available options and having the cash to build them afterwards). I can't figure this title out, it's either broken or I just don't get it. And you have to research new building styles to replace the old ones.
Then, they probably fail, so you have to bullzode and try something else, more cash. Then, you need stacks of cash and resources to research the new buildings in the game. When you find jobs it costs money to retrain EACH your citizens to the new jobs, one at a time. Moreover, there is pressure to bulldoze existing buildings, so you can use that spot for a new business in order to discover jobs. That makes the space very limited around these towers, so your placement is important to maximize job discovery, but there doesn't seem to be any successful strategy to business placement, even with combos double stacked it doesn't help profitability much. It costs LOTS money to build and maintain an office for your citizens to work at, then you have I place businesses literally NEXT to it to discover new jobs.
#Venture towns layout how to#
How do you grow in this game? You never have enough money, keeping your cashflow in the positive is extremely difficult and I don't understand how to play this game so that I am not cash starved. Once a career is discovered, anyone in your town can try for it, provided you'll sponsor the attempt.This game is not very rewarding because it is seemingly impossible to grow your town in any way because it is SO difficult to get the cash to do so. Many different careers! Townsfolk discover new careers based on business near their office. Spend research points to hold events in your town, giving temporary bonuses, such as increase to movement range. Different pets will give their owners bonus stats, and encourage them to spend time at the park. Pets! Townsfolk with high appeal can buy pets at the pet store. It may be fitting to see it as a sequel to Edo, set in modern times, but with many new features. The concept behind the two is very similar, but it's not merely the different theme that sets them apart. I think people who are saying it's identical to Edo Towns may not have played it very much.
