City Game Studio News

Hello folks,

This week, I've been hard at work and I've gone further than expected on some things and I haven't been able to start on others. I'll tell you about them right away.

[h3]Redesigning the producers[/h3]

This was the biggest job this week. I revamped the producers and added some new features.
From now on, a producer will specialize in a particular game genre. It could be Action, Adventure, whatever. When you assign a producer to a game in which he's an expert, it gives you several advantages. First, the gauges will be more accurate. You'll be able to reach the perfect value for each gauge. On top of this, the Producer Productivity Bonus is doubled. This makes assigning producers to small games interesting, and adds an extra strategy for high difficulty modes. I'm not going to spoil everything, but I've reviewed the game creation page and made sure to fix all the bugs related to it.

[h3]Speaking of bugs[/h3]
Quite a few small fixes on low resolutions, but also on employee assignment. It could happen that employees stopped working on a project. This bug is now corrected. In fixing this bug, I've also optimized studio management.

[h3]1000 followers on Twich[/h3]

Many of you streamed City Game Studio on Twitch. Shenryyr, Cringer, Domingo to name but a few.
Thanks to you, City Game Studio has just reached 1,000 followers on Twitch!
If you've never thought of broadcasting your City Game Studio gameplay on Twitch, think again - people are interested!

I had promised you that I would start work on the console redesign, but I decided to focus more on the producers. I hope you like these changes, because I think they add depth to the gameplay, and that's good.

Next week, I'll rework the HRs and start redesigning the consoles.
Cheers

Hi folks!

It's been a pretty busy week. I redesigned the employee panel, to make it more intuitive and pleasing to the eye. I've also reworked certain aspects of the game.
I'll tell you about them right away.

🔧 Optimizations and fixes: This isn't just a cosmetic facelift, but a solid overhaul. The employee management panel has been overhauled, and the management of employee schedules has been corrected and optimized. As a result, the game now handles larger studios more effectively. Added to this are fixes for games of the year, cheatcodes and mini-games.

🔍 Towards infinity: For the coming week, I'll be working on producers. Currently they have a crucial place in the design of big games and AAA. Starting with v1.8, they'll make it possible to give more feedback on the game creation panel, which will make them all the more interesting.

Your support is important, necessary and appreciated. I love working on City Game Studio, and it shows, because I've been working on it for over 7 years now, and I know you appreciate that. The reviews are positive, sales are up, in short I thank you for everything 🚀🎮

Thanks to all
