Urbek City Builder News

The new biome, the archipelago, not only has a different geography, but also new constructions with new dynamics. For example, you can connect by ferries instead of bridges. In fact, it will be the only way to cross the sea. You can also build stilt houses in the water.



In addition, you can now have multiple game saves.



Main fixed bugs
Fixed camera dancing bug in certain cases

Mechanics
Can overbuild by pressing alt

Graphics
Water vehicles are now available: Boats, sailboats and ferries
Improved interface when building area constructions (shows up when there are not enough resources)
Resources are now displayed in 10k format instead of 10000

Save and load
There are now several memory slots for saving games.
A special UI for loading games, where biome information, time played and date are displayed
Saved games are no longer sensitive to version change.

I am not sure, but I think that sometimes lumbercamps destroy nearby roads.

Few changes, but I hope you enjoy and test the giant map.

A big addition in this version: new neighbourhoods and many more buildings. Now you will see better the different parallel paths you can follow in Urbek. Artist quarter, anarchist communes, catholic quarter and much more!



The system of beauty (when buildings required parks) has changed radically: now it is leisure and this can be achieved in 5 different ways: sport, green areas, nightlife, faith and culture. Each with parallel development paths.

At last, a new version of the game. This time with a lot of new stuff (including an easter egg).

[h2]New[/h2]

• 20+ more buildings
  
• 3 more resources (high skilled work, goods and steel)
  
• Ambient music
  
• Easter Egg (try to find it!)
  
• New perspective camera
  
• Credits on game
  

[h2]Bugs[/h2]

• Solved: The camera couldn't access the top side of the map when you rotate view 180°.
  
• Solved: football field said 1 beauty, but provides 2
  
• Trees reached more than 100 of wood, now they reach only 100 as expected
  
• Solved many problems with influence area
  
• Now it is indicated what kind of water it is (sea, river or pond)
  
• The first road built can now be destroyed
  

[h2]Graphic[/h2]

• Isometric/perspective view
  
• The exploitation rate of the constructions is shown
  
• It is possible to see how the global variables are obtained
  
• Date is displayed
  

[h2]Mechanics[/h2]

• If game notices that you are in problems the first steps of the game it gives you more wood and a pop up message "dont do that again".
  
• When demolishing a building bigger than 1x1, the other tiles become automaticly the root (farms become pre-farms, etc)
  
• Now the water is differentiated if it's river, sea or artificial water. So you can not build a dock in an artificial pond.
  

[h2]Balance[/h2]

• Minimarket and other buildings need to be next to the road
  
• Some kind of trees has more wood than others, so forest management can be done (the forest regenerates according to the trees nearby).
  
• Coal plants produce much more energy
  
• Lumberjacks convert wood to energy instead of trees to energy.
  

[h2]Desert[/h2]

• No changes in the desert for now (first leave the temperate biome well tempered)
  

Hello everybody, I am the developer of Urbek and I am very happy to show you the game,



Urbek is a city building game where you can build your own neighbourhoods: from nightlife district to industrial district. Don't exhaust your natural resources before you have an educated population to build more efficient structures.
