City Game Studio News

Hello folks!

I, a dedicated solo indie developer, am always striving to improve City Game Studio. Over the past week, I have been working tirelessly on enhancing both the employee panel and the studio panel, inspired by the invaluable feedback from streamers Cringer and shenryyr. Their playthroughs provided an opportunity to identify numerous QoL issues, i18n problems, and minor bugs that needed addressing.

Thanks to their thorough exploration of the game, I've been able to take comprehensive notes, ensuring that every aspect of City Game Studio receives the attention it deserves. Although Cringer and shenryyr seemed to enjoy playing the game, I recognize that their experience could have been even more optimal. It is my goal to continue refining the game until it feels polished and well-rounded before introducing new features.

By focusing on Quality of Life improvements, I am committed to elevating City Game Studio's overall gaming experience. The feedback from these streamers has given me a clear direction for the upcoming updates, which will make a significant difference in how players interact with the game.

Thank you once again to Cringer and shenryyr for their valuable input. I am eager to share the results of these improvements with all of you and continue delivering the best possible gaming experience.

I've just released the v1.16.1 update, and it's packed with useful new features to enhance your gaming studio management experience. Firstly, I've added a confirmation popup when you attempt to delete a game engine. This feature ensures that accidental deletions are a thing of the past, safeguarding the hard work and creativity that goes into building each engine.

Additionally, we've addressed an issue with the genre-tree panel's visibility on low screen resolutions. With this fix in place, you can now enjoy seamless navigation and better organization, even when working with smaller screens.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to refine and improve your gaming studio management journey!
