Mini Motorways News

Greetings, Commuters!

We are so thrilled to share that we’re a part of the Made In New Zealand Steam event 🥝 This event highlights a variety of games made in our home country of Aotearoa New Zealand and we’re so proud to share what our game dev community has on offer. To celebrate, we’re putting Mini Metro and Mini Motorways on sale for the duration of the event! Head to Steam to check out the event and explore games from our little corner of the world :)

We're excited to share the latest update to Mini Motorways, which includes some quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
These include:

• Motorways will now be transparent when the game is paused, so you can better see your city.
  
• Scores of zero will no longer count against your attempts on Daily and Weekly Challenges.
  
• Several bugs have been fixed including the prominent visual bug that caused some headlights to appear pink, an issue where the Daily and Weekly Challenge scores would sometimes display incorrectly, and a few other assorted small issues.
  

Hi, commuters! It's been two weeks since the launch of the Night Lights update and we're here with a micro update to fix some of the issues that folks have found, including:

1. Resolving the issue where you could get stuck in the tutorial on the Upgrade Select screen without having any upgrades to choose from.
   
2. Improvements to our error handling in our menus.
   
3. Plus fixes for a range of minor bugs and improvements to resolve some issues under the hood in our codebase.
   

Thanks for all of your continued support :)

Mini Motorways turns on its high beams to shine the light on the Night Lights update, packed with two new iconic maps and highly-requested features.

The Night Lights update features:

• Two brand new maps! Explore Poland’s largest city of Warsaw, located on the winding Vistula River, and help to deliver the capital’s 1.8 million commuters to their destinations. Next, make your way across continents to the ancient Thai city of Chiang Mai where you can test your skills by planning your city around the Old City Moat.
  
• If you have Mini Motorways on Nintendo Switch, you can now do a one-way sync between your Steam account and your Switch, so you can pick up right where you left off!
  
• Headlights for Night Mode! Tackle cities at all hours of the day and night with your high beams on and watch your cities grow brighter than ever before.
  
• Various menu performance improvements and bug fixes including improvements to leaderboards.
  

We hope you enjoy tackling cities on the go, with the Night Lights update as your guiding light!

G'day, Commuters!

We wanted to share with you all some very exciting news about Mini Motorways :heart: The Independent Games Festival awards were held last Friday at GDC in San Francisco, and while our team couldn't be there in person due to covid, we watched from afar over in New Zealand and we were so impressed by the lineup of games that were up for awards.

Amongst those, Mini Motorways was up for the Excellence in Audio award, which meant we were eligible for the Audience Award, too. We were all overwhelmed with gratitude for you all – our amazing community – who showed up for us by voting for Mini Motorways as your top choice as the recipient of the Audience Award! It was a surprising and wonderful moment for us, and it showed us how much support we have from our community. We want to share how much you all inspire us and keep us motivated to always make Mini Motorways better and better!
