City Game Studio News

Greetings, fellow game tycoons!

It's been another productive week here at City Game Studio, and I'm excited to share the latest developments with you.

[h3]Bug Fixes for a Smoother Gameplay Experience[/h3]
First and foremost, let's talk about bug fixes. I encountered a pesky localization issue that was affecting the display of game genres. This made it challenging for players to navigate and understand the intricacies of their games. We've also squashed a particularly annoying bug related to the automatic hiring and assignment of staff. Both of these issues have now been successfully addressed, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.

[h3]A Visual Upgrade: Dynamic Backgrounds[/h3]
But that's not all! For quite some time, I've had my eye on improving the game's background. You may have noticed that both the world map and the studio scenes shared the same background, albeit on different layers. This setup led to performance hiccups and visual inconsistencies. To tackle this, I've created an entirely new background that's identical for both scenes. Not only does this streamline rendering by only requiring a single instance, but it's also animated and adapts its color palette according to the context—whether you're managing your studio or plotting your global gaming domination.

[h3]What Lies Ahead[/h3]
As I move forward, the agenda for next week includes a revamp of the In-App purchase panel. This enhancement aims to provide you with a smoother and more convenient experience when making in-game purchases.

Thank you for being a part of the City Game Studio community. Your feedback and support drive these improvements, and together, we're crafting the ultimate gaming empire!

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and thank you for your continued support. Together, we'll build the ultimate gaming empire!

Hey everyone,

I've had a productive week working on City Game Studio, focusing on enhancing the user interface and addressing pesky bugs. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights:

[h3]UI Improvements[/h3]
I've been busy adding informative tooltips throughout the game, making it easier for you to understand what each button does. Additionally, I've revamped the studio manager panel, introducing more intuitive and visually appealing icons. These changes aim to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.

[h3]Upcoming Competitors[/h3]
While I initially planned to introduce new competitors this week, I realized that this would require some adjustments to the mod maker. To ensure a seamless integration, I've decided to tackle this task head-on next week. Stay tuned for exciting additions to the game!

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Your insights are invaluable in shaping City Game Studio into the best it can be. Stay engaged, and keep those ideas coming!

• Stray cat not working anymore

Hey everyone,

In the ever-evolving world of City Game Studio, I've been hard at work this week, implementing exciting changes to enhance your gaming experience. Let's dive right into what's new!

[h3]Exit Panel Overhaul[/h3]
One of the primary focuses this week was revamping the exit panel. The improvements include the introduction of eye-catching icons and the highly anticipated "Save Game As" feature. Now, players have the freedom to create new save slots for their games, a feature many of you have been eagerly waiting for.

[h3]A Splash of Color for Stray Cats[/h3]
In our virtual world, even our feline friends deserve a bit of variety. Until now, adopting a stray cat always resulted in a grey companion. However, I'm thrilled to announce that you can now find orange stray cats.

[h3]What's on the Horizon[/h3]
Looking ahead to next week, I'll continue my journey through the interface, introducing new icons and fine-tuning various aspects. Expect to see improvements like confirmation pop-ups when canceling game development or introducing new competitors.

Thank you for your continued support and valuable feedback. Your insights help shape City Game Studio into the best it can be. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, happy gaming!

Until next time,
