Hello Fellow Tycoons!
We are proudly presenting the v0.3 update, which completely alters the face of the game and represents months of immense dedication and hard work. To make things even more exciting, this update coincides with a very special milestone: Our game has officially turned 1 year old, and the Steam Summer Sale/Festival is happening right now! We wanted to celebrate this double occasion with a massive revolution that completely revamps the game from top to bottom.
Here are the new features and profound changes arriving with v0.3:
🛠️ Major Infrastructure & Graphics Revolution
Transition to Unity 6: We have migrated our game engine from Unity 5 to the latest Unity 6 version! The game now boasts a far more stable, high-performance, and modern infrastructure.
Revamped Lights & Shadows: We redesigned the entire shading and lighting system from scratch. Your shop and the city are now visually much more realistic and atmospheric.
Modern UI & Menus: We have completely overhauled all user interface (UI) packages. Menus are now sleeker, cleaner, and much more user-friendly.
Complete City & Map Redesign: The city map has been thoroughly remade. Sidewalks, environmental details, and visual arrangements have been added to enhance the feeling of a living city.
A World Brought to Life: Many objects and environmental elements that were previously inactive and acted purely as decoration are now fully active and interactive!
🏪 Shop & Gameplay Mechanics
Surprise Lucky Boxes! We are bringing a whole new level of excitement to your shop. Don't forget to open surprise lucky boxes to test your fortune and expand your business!
The Threat of Thieves! Your shop is no longer entirely safe. Stay vigilant—a thief could target your store at any given moment! Keep your eyes open or take your precautions.
New Computer Design & Usability: We have updated the in-store computer interface and its functionality with a completely fresh design. Managing your trade is now much more satisfying.
New Items & Textures: Brand new texture patterns for your shop and a wide variety of new merchandise to fill your shelves have been added.
Detailed Smartphone: Your character's phone has been enriched with brand-new features and details, making it far more functional than before.
Smoother Tutorial: The introductory tutorial mode that guides you when first starting the game has been made significantly smoother and easier to follow.
🐛 Fixed Issues & Optimizations
We have completely rooted out almost all critical bugs that were disrupting gameplay, based directly on the feedback we received from you:
Bed & Sleep Bug: Fixed the issue where the game would completely freeze after sleeping in the bed.
Auction House Lockup: Resolved the freezes and lockups experienced during the auction screens.
Pizza Screen Freeze: Fixed the bug that caused the game to hang when ordering pizza or opening the pizza screen.
Gambling Blur Issue: Removed the annoying blur effect that lingered on the screen while gambling.
Nighttime Lighting: Optimized the lighting system that triggers during the night and fixed its respective bugs.
Automatic Doors: Fixed the errors that prevented automatic doors from functioning properly or caused them to glitch.
Tutorial Looping: Solved the issue where the tutorial kept repeating itself despite being successfully completed.
Glowing Signs: Corrected the oversaturated, glitchy glow effects on advertisement banners and shop signs around the city.
A massive thank you for an amazing whole year spent with us and for all your continuous support! Don't forget to experience our game during the Steam Summer Festival, and feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions on our community page.
