Mini Motorways News

This update brings Unity to the latest version.



UPDATE: We've had reports of this build causing crashes on some devices, so we have uploaded the previous version of the game to Steam for those encountering issues.

We're working on a permanent fix, but in the meantime, if this update has impacted your game's functionality, you can do the following:
- Navigate to Mini Motorways in your Steam library, then right click on it and select Properties.
- From the Properties menu, open the tab labelled Betas.
- Enter in the password totallifesaver and you will gain access to a version of the game labelled previously-live.
- This will revert your game to the previous version.

Big thank you to all players who reported this so that we could start work on a fix straight away!

This patch includes a bug fix for an issue that causes users on macOS 14.2 to lose game functionality in windowed mode. The game will launch in fullscreen mode so that it remains playable as usual. We’re working on a fix to make sure windowed mode is back as soon as possible.

Traverse the narrow peninsulas and rugged coves of Reykjavík’s coastline as Mini Motorways arrives in Iceland! This holiday season, cosy up around the fireplace while you tackle the world’s northernmost capital, building a bustling city where the North Atlantic meets the Arctic Ocean. Now it’s your turn to lend your city planner’s touch to this stunning city!

Enjoy a gorgeous glacial palette in day mode or dive into the fantasy-like colour of the elusive polar lights, famously called the Aurora Borealis!

This update also includes a few under-the-hood fixes and general polish, as well as the much-requested feature of being able to access the options menu from the pause screen.

Thanks again for celebrating our massive Miniversary birthday with us. We’ve got exciting plans for Mini Motorways in 2024, and we can’t wait to share them with you in the new year!

We want to take a moment to acknowledge what is happening in the town of Grindavik, Iceland. Our team has been keeping up with the news regarding the area’s hundreds of earthquakes and the threat of volcanic eruption – tensions and fears we are familiar with ourselves in seismically active New Zealand.

Our hearts go out to all those affected. We understand the damage and disruption these events can have on people’s lives, and Iceland is in our thoughts right now. Anyone who knows the process of game development will know that an update such as this one is built long before release day; nevertheless, we’d like to dedicate this update to the Icelandic people. We have long admired your beautiful country, and we hope our latest update can celebrate your renowned capital with the world through the lens of Mini Motorways.

Can you believe it’s that time of year already?! The end of the year brings the annual Steam Awards, and we need your help!
If you’ve loved our updates over the last few years, we’d be honoured to have your nomination of Mini Motorways for the Labour of Love award at this year's Steam Awards! From the frequent free updates we’ve released each year to everything we have in store for the future, Mini Motorways has always been a ‘labour of love’ for us. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We’re capping off what might be our best year yet, thanks to the massive celebration of our Miniversary with you, our city planners. From our first-ever player-voted map to introducing train stations and crossings as obstacles (hello, Mini Metro!), we’re so proud of how far Mini Motorways has come.

Throughout all the years that we’ve been lucky enough to work on Mini Motorways, you all have been keeping us going. From requesting features and beloved cities or hometowns to helping us beta-test new game modes and hunt down those fringe bugs, this community has been an integral part of Mini Motorways’ story.

We’re honoured to have you all as part of our community, and we can’t wait to show you what we have in store for 2024!
