Hello All!

I hope this announcement finds you in good health! Can an announcement tell the difference between a healthy person and another? Can an announcement find people?
This catchphrase isn't going as planned.

OK, now to City Game Studio this time, I'm very pleased with the response to the new update.
Many of you have left reviews on Steam, and it definitely helps me tremendously by posting reviews of City Game Studio and even my other games too for that matter.
There were patches that brought us to v1.18.3.

Since that update, I've been collecting your comments and feedback, so I've started work on the next update.
As usual, a first version of the next update is already available on Steam's unstable branch. It contains fixes and optimizations as well as a couple of additions.

So what's in Santa's bag for v1.19.0?
We're going to rework studio management and furnishings in particular. I'm not going to be more specific on that front, but I'll keep a few surprises in store for you.

In terms of interface, I'm going to add some useful information to the studio list (bottom left), so that you'll know if a studio is unhappy or not working.

I'm thinking of adding one last point: integration with Twitch. Allowing the streamer to rename employees according to who's in the chat room. By the way, if you have any suggestions for this part, let me know in the comments, and I'll be sure to read them!

That's all for today.

Hey folks,

Today I'm pleased to announce the release of v1.18.3.
Many fixes, especially for console creation.

Well, first off, console creation could cause the game to crash. I'm very sorry about this bug, but it's now fixed.

Yet another change: creating portable consoles was easy, turning them into a profitable business was mission impossible. Because the game rated portable consoles too harshly. This part of the algorithm has been revised to make it easier for everyone to create portable consoles.

In addition, the magazine that rates your console will still display a score for the graphics part if your console has graphics capabilities, to help you better understand the rating of certain consoles, notably when there is no graphics card.

Regarding game creation, it has been pointed out to me that the number of points required in the various game creation panels should be shown at every stage of game creation.

Finally, notifications. From now on, new components will be announced twice a year. This considerably reduces the number of notifications. Furthermore, notifications will no longer be sent out when you purchase a console license, as this information is already available in the game creation panel, making the notification redundant.

That's all for today.
Enjoy the game

Hello everyone!

Just like every update, many of you are coming back and giving me feedback. But as with every update, I'm introducing a small bug just to see if you're keeping up.
I'm sorry for Mac gamers who had the terrible experience of not being able to create multiple games - the game creation panel was all white.
I had to rework all the game panels to fix the bug, which was a poorly referenced nested scene. This should now be corrected.

Other bugs have been corrected concerning consoles, namely the console creation panel inverted the computing power with the graphic power. The reviews also had a little bug saying that consoles were Internet-compatible as early as 1970, amazing isn't it?

The Italian translations have been improved by frankieorabona, thanks to him!

Thank you for playing City Game Studio in such large numbers, and thank you for your valuable feedback.
Feel free to join the discord server to make things go even faster.

Have a good weekend!
