Update 0.8 - Balcony, NPC Cars, Bug Fixes & GeForce Now, Price Update
Hello contractors!
In this big update we bring you the new balcony and the renewed NPC cars. With this update, we are one step closer to the full release.
Before we move on to the patch notes with bug fixes, I would like to share some news with you.
[h2]GeForce Now[/h2]
As we announced last week, ContractVille will now be available on GeForce Now. We share the joy of the players who have been waiting for this. If you want to play ContractVille anytime, anywhere, without the need for a good system, you can find our game on GeForce Now.
ContractVille will be available on GeForce Now on April 17 at 10am PDT.

[h3]Price Update[/h3]
As stated in the Early Access section of our store page: “ContractVille will be cheaper during Early Access. We’ll raise the price as we move towards full launch.”
With that in mind, we believe now is the right time to implement this planned adjustment, as the game has grown significantly in content and quality since its release.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us early and helped shape the game. Your support has been invaluable throughout this journey.
If you’ve been thinking about picking up ContractVille, now is the perfect time!
Having given you this important news...
I would now like to move on to what's new and what the update includes.
After the major updates such as Garden, Roof & Porch and Roofless Porch, we think that the balcony is a great complement to the look of a house. With this balcony update, one more thing has been added and now the houses you build look even better!
If you're curious about what's ahead for ContractVille, you can check the "What's New?, In Development, Planned" section from the main menu.
[h2]Balcony[/h2]
You can now add balconies to your houses — a feature that expands your creative options and brings a more complete architectural look.
Balconies are a key addition for giving your buildings a natural and finished appearance, especially when combined with roof and porch elements.

[h3]Plenty of Alternatives for Balcony![/h3]
Balconies are now available in four different sizes — small, medium, large, and extra-large — so you can choose the one that best fits the scale of your house and lot. Whether you're building on a compact plot or a spacious estate, there’s a balcony size that matches your layout.
In addition, balconies come in three distinct styles:
- French-style (flush with the wall)
- Roofed (covered top for extra structure and visual depth)
- Open/roofless (for a lighter, more minimal look)
These variations allow you to further customize your building’s exterior appearance, offering more flexibility when designing facades and upper floors.
Just like the roof and the porch, you can customize every detail of your balcony!
[h2]Renewal of NPC Cars[/h2]
NPC vehicles have received a complete visual overhaul.
Instead of dark-windowed, opaque cars, you’ll now see vehicles with visible drivers and passengers moving through the city.
We believe this change adds another meaningful layer to the atmosphere of Creek Harbour, helping it feel more alive and dynamic as a living city.
Let’s now move on to the bug fixes and improvements included in this update.
[h2]🛠️ Bug Fixes[/h2]
Trolley Spawn Position Fixed
- Fixed an issue where taking control of the trolley caused it to appear to the right side of the character instead of in front. The trolley now spawns in the correct position when picked up.
- Fixed a tiling issue in the Scott Mail mission where tiles could be placed slightly beyond the bathroom door frame, preventing placement in adjacent rooms.
- Fixed an issue where Borderless Fullscreen mode would incorrectly detect resolution from GPU scaling options like DSR or FSR.
The game now correctly uses your desktop's native resolution when Borderless Fullscreen is selected.
- Updated the description of the "Logistics Baron" achievement to remove misleading language about "cargo," and capitalized mission names for clarity.
- Adjusted the "Tile the Floor" objective in the Ivan Build mission. It now reflects the correct required area, even in rooms without separating interior walls.
- Fixed a missing text issue for Amid, where the comment was replaced by a placeholder.
- Resolved an issue where hallway progress would not update correctly. Tasks like painting or plastering now reflect properly and allow stage progression.
- Fixed an inconsistency where changing the player marker color wouldn’t update the in-game head marker until reentering a vehicle or rejoining the session.
- Fixed a server crash that occurred when the eating buff ended after a client-side food interaction glitch.
- Addressed an issue where cargo points from completed “Go Green” missions (Green City Initiative & Clean Water Campaign) remained in the game world. These are now removed correctly upon mission completion.
- Corrected a display bug where the vehicle speed in imperial units appeared inconsistent with the actual numerical value.
- Fixed a bug where returning discounted items while the “Sweet Talk” skill was active refunded the full original price instead of the actual purchase price.
- Fixed an issue where recycle boxes taken by trolley caused the visible query number of paper and metal trash to display as 0.
- Addressed a bug where repeatedly throwing recycled boxes on top of others in front of the bin caused the queue count to reset to 0.
