City Game Studio News

Hey Everyone,

I've been hard at work, fueled by your invaluable feedback and a deep passion for making City Game Studio the ultimate gaming experience (thank you CirMric)

[h2]Steam Deck: Your Gateway to the Future[/h2]
In response to your feedback and with a keen eye on the Steam Deck, I've made several enhancements. Font rendering is now sharper for emails, ensuring a seamless reading experience. The menu and panels are optimized for lower resolutions, allowing everyone to enjoy the game at its best, even below 1600x900. Tooltips have been adjusted, removing keyboard and mouse references for a cleaner, more accessible interface.

[h2]UI Improvements: Elegance in the Details[/h2]
In the quest for excellence, the UI has undergone substantial refinements. The email panel sports revamped icons for trash, spam, and restore options, making managing your inbox a breeze. The game score rendering in the "Game of the Year" section has been enhanced, offering a more immersive experience. To provide you with greater insights, tooltips have been added to the columns in the financial tab. Last but not least, the studio's shop has received a facelift.

[h2]What's Next?[/h2]
Thanks to valuable feedback from CirMric, I'm taking Steam compatibility to the next level. This journey is a collaborative effort, and I can't wait for you to experience these improvements firsthand. You're shaping City Game Studio into something extraordinary.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and, as always, thank you for being a vital part of this adventure.

Cheers,
