Mayors,
The latest version of NewCity is now live on the Testing branch. Details below:
Version 0.0.56.6a ALPHA
- Fixing a crash when loading 125x125 maps.
- New and improved Building Selection Panel. This is the panel that pops up when using the Query Tool (1) on a building.
- Added the Statue decoration. The statues are a reward for IndieGoGo contributors. To see the statues in action, open G6x6_terracotta_army in the building designer. The statues will be added to buildings next week.
- Fixing a bug where building designs with no structures would get an image of just grass.
- Water no longer rises and lowers due to tides. This is because tides make it difficult to place items on water.
- The Earthworks Tool (5 > E) now has a cost.
- Transit stops will now be removed when they have no transit lines.
- Removed the ability to shut down a transit system. If you accidentally shut down your train or bus system, they will be restored, although you will need to replace the lines and stops.
Note: There is an additional line item listed in-game for "experimental Steam Workshop subscription support." That support is not actually active in this version yet due to a bug. Soon!
You can opt in to the Testing branch via the Betas tab, found by right-clicking NewCity in your Steam Library and selecting Properties. Simply click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose "test - Testing branch." You can return to the current main build via the same dropdown by choosing "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" instead. Going from one to the other will trigger an update as Steam fetches you the desired branch.
Thank you to everyone who's been playing and submitting feedback and bug reports; we hear you! Keep posting your thoughts in our Steam Discussions, touching base with us on Discord, and Tweeting us videos and screenshots of what you're building. We may not respond to each and every one, but rest assured we're paying attention.
As always, we can't wait to see what you build.
