Seasons greetings, Mayors!
Apologies for the late release for this supposed-to-be Thursday night patch. Our update is another light one, as we head into the end of December.
These are the patch notes:
Version 0.0.57.7 ALPHA
- It is now possible to pin charts from the National Economy or neighboring cities.
- Added some growable seaside buildings
Improvements
- Transit routes now have a bonus no matter how long they are. Previously, only transit routes shorter than 2 hours got the bonus.
- On Very Hard difficulty, Value is harder and more dependent on prosperity.
Bugfixes
- Fixing an issue that prevented upload to steam, related to image resolutions.
- Fixed an issue where always available designs were not available on new games (not loaded from a save.)
Features
As stated in the previous update, there will not be an update this week on 12/24, Christmas Eve. Our team will be taking some time to spend with family.
The Steam Workshop support right now works for the NewCity test branch. We plan to have it implemented in the official release once 0.57 arrives in earnest. Remember to check out this update via the Betas tab. Right-click NewCity in your Steam Library and select Properties. Click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose the "test - Testing branch". You can opt-out 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.
We really appreciate all the feedback and bug reports here on Steam and Discord! Please keep posting your thoughts and touching base with us.
Please follow us on Twitter for more upcoming announcements.
Thank you,
Lone Pine Games
