Hi everyone! It’s been a busy last few weeks at Dino HQ after our Steam launch. We dove straight into fixing bugs and providing some quality-of-life improvements, but we wanted to pause for a moment and say something to everyone reading this: thank you. We are completely overwhelmed by the response the Steam community has shown Mini Motorways. We are proud of our game and the work our team has done on it, but nobody ever expects a launch like this! We are so grateful for your support in all the forms it has taken, everything from wishlisting to checking us out at PAX to sharing the game with your friends.
As we begin production work on our next update, we wanted to let you all know what you can expect from the coming months and years of Mini Motorways. We’ve received a lot of questions about what comes next and when it’s coming and we hope this post can quickly address some of those!
What is your planned update schedule for Mini Motorways going forward?
Since it was first launched on Apple Arcade, we have updated Mini Motorways multiple times a year and we intend to keep up this update frequency in the future. We’ve been updating Mini Metro frequently with new game modes, maps, and features like Steam Workshop support consistently since 2015 (and in fact Mini Metro will have a new update in the next month!) and we intend to support Mini Motorways to the same degree. Different updates may take different lengths of time depending on content and complexity, but they will be coming.
Will Mini Motorways eventually have all the game modes from Mini Metro?
Our eventual vision for Mini Motorways includes a selection of game modes like Mini Metro currently offers. They may not be exact replicas of those same game modes in Mini Metro due to differences between the games under the hood, but we want to add game modes that allow players to relax and explore their creativity as well as modes for more challenge-oriented players.
Will new cities be added to Mini Motorways?
Definitely! We will continue adding new cities based on both our own research and player suggestion, as we’ve done with Mini Metro before. Back when Mini Metro first launched, it had only twelve maps, and over the years it’s grown to almost thirty. We love to get suggestions for new cities - feel free to email them to [email protected].
Will you still be patching the game between updates if I find a bug? What’s the best way to report bugs?
Now that the dust has settled on our busy post-launch period, we’ll be getting straight to work on the first of our content updates - we’ll still be patching bugs as they occur, but we’ll be balancing our time between support and new updates. When we’re in production mode, we may not have time to monitor the forums here as closely as we have been but we will still be reviewing posts periodically. If you encounter an urgent issue, please use the support email as those don’t get lost in the scroll! Again, that’s [email protected].
We are so, so excited about what the future has in store for Mini Motorways. Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed the game and given feedback already - we think you’re going to love what we’ve got coming down the road in the future. :)
