New Apartments added, apartments upgradable - Update Version 0.4.0



Intro:
During the summer and since the last Version Update we have been constantly working on Urban Tale.
Most of the time was dedicated to bug fixes that were reported from Users and developing the new features which took much more time and testing than initially anticipated.
This Update adds a lot of content to the game (you can find details about that below) and features.
Some of these key new features are:

1. Kiosk's in Zone 1 and Zone 2 are now opened

2. The player can now choose from 3 different Apartments in Zone 1 and 3 different Apartments in Zone 2 which can be accessed via the Kiosk's in Zone 1 and Zone 2. Total of rentable apartments is now 9 and all are different.

Zone 1 Apartments


Zone 2 Apartments

3. Customize individual items in your apartment [This is probably the biggest improvement to the core system]. The player can now, via the Hardware Store in Zone 3, customize his apartment and make it his own. The Apartment Customization is divided into 3 different layers:
- Items:
The Player can change or add new items to his apartment.
The Player can also change the color of individual items in his apartment.
- Walls:
The player can now change the wallpaper in his apartment and choose from a variety of different wallpapers.
- Floor:
Same as the walls, the player can now change the floor (wood, Laminate, Cork, Carpet, etc..).

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to share some information about the current development for the next update.

So currently we are working on the next bigger Update that will be 0.3.2.
This next Update will include a lot of new content, especially when it comes to individual apartment updates.
This means that with the next Update that we will release, players will be able to fully customize their apartments.

Apartment/customization update:
Ugradable elements of each apartment will be:

  • Walls,
  • Floors,
  • Bed,
  • Posters and pictures,
  • Kitchen counters,
  • Stove or microwaves,
  • Refrigerators,
  • Carpets,
  • Couches and other seating arrangements,
  • Mirrors.
  • Tiolets,
  • Closets and other storages,
  • Lamps and lighting in general,
  • Tables.


Zone 1 and Zone 2 apartment unveiling:
Besides the content Update, the player will also be able to rent apartments in zone 2 and zone 1.
These apartments are much bigger and much fancier than the ones in zone 3.
Keep in mind that they are also more expensive.

Focusing on Fun:
This update will also incluce a more deticated approchove fro the need Fun that is currently more or less idle when playing the game but with this update, the need Fun will get much more important and you will be able to replenish it at home also.

Bug fixing:
Alongside the mentioned new features and content, we are also addressing some bug that ware reported.
Mainly a resolution bug for the 4k issues.
This will be solved also with this next update and also several other bug fixes.
Also we will stabilize the new Careers some more.

So this is the current progress of Urban Tale.
Hope you like and are looking forward to the next update wich should be soon.
