The free demo of Roadweave has been updated. Here is what's new.
Seasons
- The year turns while you play: spring, summer, autumn and winter, about 24 minutes each.
- Seasons are more than looks. In autumn and winter cars drive slower, and in winter junctions clog up sooner — plan your network with the cold in mind.
- The top bar shows the current season and how long until it changes.
- Blossom in spring, falling leaves in autumn, snow in winter.
A living map
- Living sea: ripples, shallows and surf along the coast; at night, coastal cities reflect in the water.
- Land texture: mountains, forests and marshes drawn like an old map.
- Smooth roads with proper joints and markings.
- City districts grow with every level, and their windows light up one by one at night.
- Cloud shadows, seagulls over the water and chimney smoke from connected cities.
- Every effect can be switched off separately in Settings — for slower PCs.
City icons and interface
- Each city level now has its own icon, so you can tell a village from a capital at a glance. Three styles in Settings: Simple, Light and Detailed.
- Toolbar buttons are now icons with tooltips — no more text squeezed into buttons in long languages.
- Map cursors show what you are doing: building a road, bending it, launching a ferry, demolishing.
- Everything you can't use yet is marked with a lock — whether it opens at a higher level or is part of the full game.
- The "Season" event, which boosts trips into an area, is now called "Rush" so it isn't confused with the real seasons.
12 languages
English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The language switches on the fly in Settings, and on first launch the game picks your system language.
What's in the demo
The Island world: 14 areas, roads, bridges, city upgrades up to level 3 and world upgrades. Your demo progress carries over to the full game.
