Hey Citizens!
With the month coming to an end, we’re back with a fresh round of updates on what we worked on for City 20!
Over the last few weeks, we focused on improving world navigation, deepening faction mechanics, and refining your overall experience. There’s also a new cutscene to kick off your adventure with a bit more flair in the works, and work continues on the combat system, new additions and bug fixing!
But enough beating around the bush, let’s take a look at what’s cooking behind the scenes:
A more immersive world
Our artists focused on some of the storefronts in the game, which will have a visual refresh to better reflect the identity of each business. We're also making navigating the world a bit easier, with directional signs to help guide you to key locations and landmarks! A revamped map will also update dynamically as you explore the world - removing the need for guesswork!
Progression & Gameplay
With the upcoming updates, you'll finally be able to get new requests from factions. Completing them earns you Reputation and unlocks more opportunities. Faction-Exclusive areas are also being worked on, but you'll need a high-enough reputation with the right group to access them. Finally, shops will start accepting to buy your gathered materials and resources - which will make it a bit easier to earn money in the game!
UX & Tech
There's some news on the tech side of things as well! Soon, the game will also properly support ultrawide resolutions! We also continue working on fixing bugs and making the experience more enjoyable for everyone!
Alongside our usual updates, over the next few weeks we're looking to get a couple of community playtesting sessions started! We'll be selecting some of our community members and give you access to special builds of the game, where you'll be able to test and give feedback on some of the new, super-special features we're working on!
The playtesting is open to anyone who already owns the game! If you're interested in joining in, simply fill out this form right here. We'll try to go through everyone that applies, so if you're not picked right away, don't worry! Your time will come!
As usual, don't forget to join our Discord and follow us on social media to get the latest on the development of City 20!
See you on the next one!
