Hello,

I can not say it enough, many thanks for being here, for playing City Game Studio, I thought we would not reach more than 200 players when I write the first line of code. Yet today you are tens of thousands and it touches my heart.

You are so many to give me feedbacks and suggestions to improve City Game Studio. So I do my best to offer you the best game experience. You probably noticed a lot of mini updates during this week, so let's talk about them in detail.

Spam emails have been revised, and a tooltip added to explain how to mark an email as spam. I believe this is long overdue.

When you start a new game, the game selects the easiest difficulty and leaves you free to take any difficulty. I was short sighted because if it's your first game, it's better to play on easy, then the higher difficulties become unlockable once you finish the game.

Also, the number of points required to complete a game is now indicated at the conception stage with a tooltip that explains how it is calculated.

For games that have already been released, the number of updates is now indicated as well as the date of the last update.

Console marketing panel has been redesigned to allow you to fine-tune marketing campaigns with a single click.

I will continue to work on City Game Studio to deliver the best possible gaming experience.

I wish you a great weekend
Best wishes

Hi everyone!

A special thanks because so many of you have bought City Game Studio. Your enthusiasm warms my heart! Thus, I'm going through all the reviews, streams and youtube videos to find the bugs and other possible improvements!

Firstly, it's a minor update that adds flags on the main menu for the supported languages of the game. The button was not clearly visible and by adding these few images the problem should be solved.

Another minor bug that greatly unbalances the game. Publishing a game sequel was greatly detrimental to the quality of the game produced and could turn your game into a disaster. Please rest assured that this bug is fixed and I'm sorry I didn't see it before.

Among other things, wage increases have been fixed, as you may have noticed. Also Competitors can now buy each other out, and also get more studio, previously a bug was blocking this from happening.

One last annoying glitch, the information tooltip that tells you how to place items in a studio disappears correctly. Very sorry for that.

Thanks again for the warm welcome you gave to City Game Studio, I wish you a great evening,

Hello everyone!

In 2017, City Game Studio marked the beginning of my first adventure as an independent developer. Released in 2019, after approximately 2 years of development, several playtests, a closed alpha and many hours of work, it was a worldwide success... actually a complete success for me who had just launched my first game on Steam.

And you all were amazing. So many of you have supported me, clearly it helped me to continue the development until now. Quite honestly it's been hard to keep working on the same project for so many years, 4 years altogether.

Initially, City Game Studio's development was supposed to end in 2020, so after 3 years of development it should have left the early access. However, an unexpected intervention from one of the pillars of the French Twitch game community came up. As a result of this much welcomed event, sales went up and the community grew spontaneously, this resulted in a significant positive effect on City Game Studio. I would like to thank Domingo and the team that works with him.

This happened a year ago, and today I'm proud (relieved too?!) to announce that City Game Studio is finally fully released!

[h4]What is coming now?[/h4]
v1.1.1 is already in the pipeline, and I hope to continue working on City Game Studio until the TODO list is empty. It should take me a few more months.

[h4]Alright, so what happens next?[/h4]
Honestly I wish I could tell that I will publish another game, or that I will continue to work on City Game Studio, or that there will be free DLC, but at this point I don't know.

[h4]And then?[/h4]
I don't know how to project myself for more than 6 months, but I can tell you that I'm not done making games and that the next one might surprise you (and please you it would be nice anyway).

Thanks for reading and for being there,
I wish you a great day
