Greetings citizens and tourists!
This month’s Retroronto update brings a bit of style to the city! Players can now customize their character’s face and facial hair, along with naming their character through a new letter selection screen. These updates were based on community feedback, and should help make each commuter feel a little more unique.
We’ve also introduced a brand-new clothing store where players can buy new outfits and hats to wear around the city. Between this and the new customization options, Retroronto’s citizens have never looked more fashionable, or more distinct!
Behind the scenes, a handful of bugs have been fixed and systems tuned up, keeping the city running as smoothly as possible while development continues.
