Greetings, City Builders!
With only a week left before the New Year, I am thrilled to announce a major update for "Thriving City: Song" - the "Great Voyage" content is officially implemented! We are grateful for your feedback during the testing period, which has been incredibly helpful!
The eagerly anticipated maritime trade, "Jiangnan Water Village" skin, a variety of collectibles and museums, new foreign NPCs, new building blocks, new wonder-like buildings, new... and so on, all have been completed and implemented! The detailed list of updated content can be found below~
For those who are still considering and haven't purchased the game yet, pay attention to the upcoming New Year, as we will be launching a historic low discount of 20% during the New Year period!
*{After this update, the main branch cannot read the save files from previous versions}
As mentioned in previous announcements, in order to implement the features of the new content and to optimize the experience, the 0.7 version of this major update is not compatible with past saves. We recommend that you start a new save to experience the latest content of the game.
We apologize for the technical limitations that prevent us from making past save files compatible with the new content. We will try to avoid this issue in future development.
For past save files, you can enter the "version-0.5.3" branch to continue the game.
Here's a tip for accessing the branch: In the Steam client, go to the game "Library", right-click "hriving City: Song", click "Properties", click "Beta", and select "version-0.5.3" in the "Participate in testing". After the update, you can continue to experience the 0.5.3 save!
Thank you again for your ongoing support and feedback. Our next step is to develop content for the creative workshop. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment in the announcement~ Thank you!
