We are very happy to update you with a new version of the game, this time, instead of new features we focused on polishing the interface, mechanics and experience. Also, we managed to squeeze a few solid bugfixes in.

The most notable change is that the game now has a title screen! It was quite poetic that the game didn’t have a proper one from the beginning but extremely confusing as well; So, we got rid of the cryptic textbox and now there’s a City creation screen and a load screen that will present you with all your cities so you can continue the game or destroy them all. 

A pretty basic thing, but vital indeed.

Also, we improved the overall look of UI, parks (now with trees!) and the newspaper.

Also, a ton of bugfixes and mechanics adjustments to make the game actually enjoyable:

👮Better crime-solving algorithm and improved newspaper reporting about crimes.

🎥 Improved zoom and camera angles when zooming in or out provide a better look of the city

💼 Job hiring only happens during weekdays (naturally)

📈 Company sales simulation are now closer to real-world data

💰 New citizens arrive to the city with savings according to real-world statistics (American savings by generation study)

🏥 Hospital construction and operation costs are also aligned with real world data

📉 Companies are not living rent-free anymore and have to pay rent

⚠️ Better error messages and warnings that can actually be understood by a person

🛠️ Lots of other small fixes (developers love to say that)
