Ostriv News

So this is decided: the next update will be Alpha 5 and it's gonna be huge. Please don't expect it too soon, as the war sure has some negative impact on our productivity, but rest assured that it's coming.

This update will have at least 10 new buildings, product shelf life, improved city stats, improved trade and lots of other fixes and cool new features, including of course new bushes!

As a bonus, check out this little teaser of how we adapted this reference kindly provided to us by Taras Shevchenko:

Yep, we're still alive!

Currently I don’t have access to my main working computer and can’t work on Ostriv as before. But having something to work on is still the best cure for stress. So I’ve been working on this little title on my laptop. It's a city-building game that's simplified down to a puzzle where you just snap random blocks together trying to reach demands and build a nice-looking city map.

You can wishlist it on Steam here:

Or you can get the pre-release version directly from here: https://tilecitiesgame.com/

All proceeds will be spent on doing some good in Ukraine.

As you probably already know on February 24 russians invaded our homeland Ukraine to kill thousands of civilians and destroy our infrastructure based on delusions of their supremacy.

Our whole team is alive and breathing and it's not something you take for granted in a world where deranged authoritarians are given all the red buttons they want. Anyway our victory is only a matter of time and we're doing all we can to bring it closer.

For several reasons the development of Ostriv can't continue with its usual pace, but we are all eager to get back working on those updates as soon as possible so you can enjoy building your towns while we rebuild ours in real life.
