Dear youtubers,
As we promised, the new Patch 1.2.2 based on your feedback is now live!
This update addresses some of the most frequently reported issues since the game was released and introduces further improvements to stability and gaming experience. Here is the full list of fixes and changes:
Updated minigames
Recording minigame:
- Balanced the progress of the minigame: now you can get better scores as your level increases and it will be easier to shuffle good cards to record better videos. Also, the reaction of the character after completing the recording has been adjusted to show that the video is successfully finished.
- Now the emojis can be completely filled if you are close enough to fill them after finishing the recording, allowing you to get better scores.
- "REGULAR" type clips have been removed when recording a video.
Editing minigame:
- If there are enough render points and coins left, a message now appears saying that effects can be added to clips before publishing.
Publishing videos:
- Your character will better show the excitement of publishing videos according to your level as a youtuber.
Onboarding
- Added new indications about how to use trends when publishing a new video.
- Adjusted the trend capture tutorial to make it more understandable.
- Initial coins have been increased, allowing you to take advantage of your first savings to get new stuff from the very beginning and start your new life right away.
- An additional quest has been added to emphasize the progression as an emerging youtuber. Start reaching the top 75th position and keep growing to be the greatest youtuber of all times.
Trends and secrets
- Now trends related to a specific location are displayed on the map.
- Now you can check trends information about their type and location each day through your mobile.
- Added related trends to InstaLife posts, thus giving some clues about their location.
- Now secret characters will only appear on the streets, thus making it easier to find them.

Commissions and Quests
Commissions:
- Taking photos as a commission feature has been introduced earlier in the game.
- Commissions rewards have been balanced to make them less necessary for progression, allowing you to focus on other quests of your choice to grow as a youtuber.

HUD and Updated Guides
