Hello everyone!
Today's the day for June's patch, our biggest patch so far!
We added several features we hope you will enjoy, and we expanded the whole playground.
We highly suggest you read the whole patch-note, there are several fixes and useful improvements.
We would like to notify that this is our last (big) patch until our full release on September 2021.
We'll still be keeping an eye out for your feedback & suggestions, and we're always here if you have any trouble.
Take care ♥
- Career Mode: Teaser Projects
- Here it comes! A first taste of the planned Career mode! This new game mode contains three scripted architectural projects to solve in your own way with goals and constraints.
Be aware that this being a teaser, your progression cannot be saved for now.
Be creative Architects!
- Urban Planner
- With this feature you'll be able to create projects in way less time than with the Drawing Board! It can also be used as a first step of sorts!

Be surprised by the procedural generation of projects!
