Hello again, it's time for another patch! This time we're bringing in a fresh new set of fixes and fulfilling some requests from the community.
That's all for small patches right now, the next one will be our biggest update yet! We're opening the park, adding a new building and adding other homeless into the game. Stay tuned! ^-^
Changes and new stuff
⦁ You can now level up and progress through your item unlocks with successful runs!

Bug Fixes & Improvements
⦁ You can now switch to non-16:9 aspect ratios when setting your resolution. Please let us know if any particular resolutions cause issues! The game is still best played in 16:9, do let us know if you want us to add a resolution that isn't available yet.
⦁ Also, fixed a bug where you couldn't select any resolutions...

⦁ Fixed a bug where street vendors did not show a buy button when first using one
⦁ Crime icon added to Laying low popup

Day 104 Patch! New items and other things...
Hello all and happy new year! We're back with another content patch, adding several new features including the mobile phone.
Currently the phone is only useful to use as a map, but later on there will be other characters you can call.
We've also mixed up the pacing of the game quite a bit, so old strategies may need to adapt a bit. We're also still expanding the use of some more buildings soon, and in a few weeks, we're opening the park...
The next update will bring some much needed other fixes for things like resolution issues and some general UI improvements. We'll also be adding a modification to the current win scene so you get XP.
That's all for now, expect a bunch of quickfire patches over the next week! :)
Changes and new stuff
⦁ City menu added, now you can track all your city events!
⦁ 7 new items added (including the much requested mobile phone! We'll be expanding this item with the park update), you'll need to reach level 14 to unlock 2 of the other new items.

⦁ The bus travelling transition is now a bit faster

Changes and new stuff
⦁ Fixed/updated some typos and UI elements

Day 81 Patch! Some big fixes for jobs...

We also added some minor features such as pests at night, and some other balancing and bug fixes. Enjoy....
Changes and new stuff
⦁ A new city event has been added!
