The City Bus Manager Full Release is around the corner!
On 25th June the City Bus Manager will be fully released. Of course alongside a lot of new content that you can look forward to.
Check out the video for more information.

Our friends at Thera Bytes are now also working on a title that uses OpenStreetMap data similar to ours, but with an agricultural theme.

[previewyoutube]https://youtu.be/iC06_84-zow[/previewyoutube]
In this farm simulation, you manage the world and, thanks to the support of OpenStreetMap, you can build your farm in exotic locations or even directly in your hometown.
Watch out! Your choice of location influences real parameters for agricultural values.

Break ground, plant crops according to the seasons and local weather conditions, earn money, buy better equipment and expand your farm!

We would be happy if you support them and add Global Farmer to your wish list.
