Patch #6 | V 0.0.407
Howdy Partner!
With the forthcoming update, we are expanding the management depth of the game and equipping you with brand new instruments to outline your town and shop in an even more purposeful manner. At the centre of this is the new Investment Map, which allows you to influence how your town develops – from new functions and economic opportunities to stronger employee capacities.
Unlockable investments include the Junk Corner, where you can sell unwanted shelves and furniture, and the Town Market, which allows you to sell entire crates of goods directly. In addition, the new Newspaper Office opens up completely new marketing opportunities: buy advertisements to showcase your shop and products to a wider audience. The three new Residential Districts also offer a significant advantage, as they increase the number of potential employees available for your shop.
In addition to these urban expansions, we are also introducing an in-game challenge system that offers both long-term goals and min-max challenges to test your efficiency. This is complemented by a revamped record system that allows you to conveniently track your best performances per session – ideal for visualising your progress and chasing new personal records.
The update is rounded off by an improved overview of the status of your warehouse and shop, helping you to react faster, plan better and make your processes even smoother. This update brings more depth, convenience and strategic freedom – and we look forward to seeing how you grow your city.
