So today we have the long and delayed update to v3.3.0 and it is going to be a fun one. So to start off as the title states this is part one out of six. We are going to be releasing mini updates throughout the month. At least once a week and one extra somewhere in the mix so lets explain what's going on here.
This update did cause a lot of problems because when it was getting done it interfered with a lot of the other game mechanics. So we had to break it down piece by piece to get everything working. Then at the same time balancing was a large issue because what fun is a game you can spam a single building for money. So while doing all that we said this town looks a little empty and full of trees. So over the month the mini updates are going to bring a few different things.
More mechanics or flushed out ones anyways
A larger town to explore and enjoy
Buildings that are just for show
Two to four other businesses to own
Apartments to own and manage
Little bug fixes
So As far as what is in this update please take a look below
Two starter businesses to own
New buildings in the town
Abandoning home function now fixed
Balanced gameplay for now
Apartments to own and manage
Lowered AI count
New tutorials
Possibly fixed optimization
So going forward we are going to barrel through this last month and finally reach that finished fleshed out game. One that is shiny and ready for the leap out of Early access.
Great Update News
Hello Landlords,
So Today we are so glad to say that the update is completely finished and in the testing phase now and so far everything works. As of now we are just making some last minute changes to some wording or the way something looks, but unlike last time it’s actually working. So we won't go into any details right now this was more of a “hey it's testing and everything is looking good.” So in other news we are going to be releasing the update between the 28th and the 30th. This is to give the next update a more fresh time frame seeing how it is the last one. So keep an eye out on the 28th more than anything and continue to have fun until then.

The good, the bad & the ugly
Hello Landlords,
So here we are again, the good news is after the bug testing and reworking this morning we found the problem. But the bad news is it was linked to to several other scripts which means its going to have to be reworked. If we said this update was fun it would be far from the truth but if everything went well in game development where would the challenge be right. So instead of an update then smaller ones we are going to double or nothing. We are going to instead do one large update that will include the mini games and the business and all the fixes like planned originally a month ago. We are truly sorry for all those who have been waiting for a new update only to met with such news. But now that we know what went wrong we can work on fixing it and getting everything back on track finally. We still aim to have the game finished by the end of october so if there is anything that you would like to see added now is definitely the right time. As always enjoy the current version and keep an eye open for more news or the update itself.

We have a lot of things being done in this update such as the businesses being added and more mini games along with fixing a few bugs that were found while testing last update round. So just keep and eye out for that and enjoy the current version until then.

This will be completely different that owning homes so it will add to the challenge of the game. Also for the next few updates we are going to add more mini games a swell to really fill up the game with tons to do in the in between times.
Update on its way
Hello Landlords,
Today we are working on finishing up the next update which is going to add more mini games into the fray. This will help with the amount of downtime between months especially if you have it on x3. Now why are we telling you this before the update we we want to ensure that if you have already purchased the game to turn tutorials on after the update to ensure you know about everything. We are adding a few more things so the tutorials will be very helpful especially in the park area.
That’s all for now.

Hello Landlords,
So we are pleased to say that we have officially put people in the game, as of now the AI is a bit basic but this opens the door for the next step of the game.

Small major issues
Hello landlords,
It seems that there was a major bug that got past our testing squad that affected the saves of the last build and we do apologize for this, but we have released a patch to fix the issue. This new update will require you to start a new game so if you did make a good bit of progress we do apologize for having to restart the game.
In other news we have double checked the next few updates and at this time it doesn't seem like the game will need to be restarted again. This of course is subjected to change but there is about a 75% chance that everything will be smooth sailing.
