NEW Career Options added | Update 0.3.0 is Live!
New Careers added - Update Version 0.3.0
Intro: This Update brings a lot of new content and new Features to the game and also alot of bugfixes and other changes. Mainly we have added 5 new Career option to the game: <*> Baker Career, <*> Flourist Career, <*> Travel Agent (This is not an actual Career but more an entrepreneur path which you can proceed in the Airport), <*> Banker Career (Comes with a background Story), <*> Postman Career (Comes with a connected Story and a Background. Also, this Career you will not find in the Newspaper, so you need to find a specific way how to get into the Career).
The Careers Baker, Flourist and Banker can all be found as an Ad in the Newspaper. When you want to try yourself out as a Travel Agent at the Airport you can this Career that at the Mayors Office where you register yourself as Self-employed. The Postman Career cannot be started, either at the Mayors Office nor can it be found as a Newspaper Ad. To start this path you will need to find your way into this Career... this Career opportunity will presents itself to you once you talk to the right people so make sure you talk to everyone, Everywhere...
Scanario Mode As we already announced and as you will notice we have changed the Main Menu. We added the Scanarion button on top, this feature is not yet added as it is in development currently and should be completed in the next few months. Scenario mode will feature several pre-planned Story Scenarios that you will be able to play and unlock each one-by-one. The scenarios will be also connected to Steam Achievements, which we plan to Releas with the same update as the Scenario Mode, so in the coming Months. Also, please note that we have now renamed the Button that was called before New Game and is now called Free Play, in the Main Menu Section.
We feel that the current gameplay is more a Sandbox/Free Play mode so we wanted to add some challenges and more fun to the game by adding the scenario mode. We hope you like the idea and hopefully you will also like the Feature once we release it.
Changelog:
Added Career Baker.
Added Career Flourist.
Added Career as a Travel Agent.
Added Banker Career.
Added Postman Career.
Updated the Credits section.

Scenario mode COMING SOON
Scanario Mode soon in Urban Tale
Announcement We just wanted to share with you some new information about what to expect in the upcoming Months from Urban Tale.
NEW UPDATE THIS WEEK
But before we jump to months ahead just wanted to remind you that this week we will probably push the New Career Options. This particular Update will feature several new Careers, and Opportunities that you will be able to do with Urban Tale, alongside other improvements and Bug fixes.
SCANARIO MODE
Coming to the Scenario Mode, we have decided to add this Feature as we feel the game is missing currently some narrative so we decided to work on a Scanario System. We are already working on this feature currently and we hope that we will be able to Release it in the next few months. This Update will most likely come alongside the Steam Achievements Update that we mentioned in a recent Accouncement as the Scenario mode will be connected to the Steam Achievements. Scenario mode will feature several pre-planned Story Scenarios that you will be able to play and unlock each one-by-one.
We will let you know more details in the new post related to the Update that is scheduled for this week so make sure you check it out.
Thank you.
Moving towards a Full Release | Status Update
Status Update after almost 5 months.
It's been almost 5 months since Urban Tale was released. We just wanted to take make this announcement and sum-up what was done and what still is in store before a Full Release.
Updates to-date: - Since the release Urban Tale had 19 game updates from with 5 ware most mentionable: The Criminal Update, The Recycling Update, The Crafting and Cooking Update, The Relationship Update and the most recent Growing and Harvesting Update. All of these updates featured a lot of new content, items and quests and therefore moving the initial idea of Urban Tale where we want it to be. - Other updates that were made ware, mostly Bug Fixes, small content additions and improvements. - Also worth mentioning, amongst these updates was also the MAC OS release.
Still to come: - In the next few months we intend to add several new content and feature updates that would push the game for what it was intended to be. So some of these updates will definitely be opening of the Z2 and Z1 for commercial building and living quarters, several new career/Hobbie options on which we are currently working on, steam card and steam achievements, a pet update, several new minigames, selling your business, buying properties and a full game translated into several different languages. These are somewhat the outlines that were also included in the initial idea before the project started.
Conclusion: - After 5 months it is safe to say that unfortunately Urban Tale did not come anywhere close, when it come to it's success. Maybe the goals for Urban Tale were set too high, we don't know. Nevertheless, we want to complete the game as we initially indented it without cutting on features and content, without focusing on sales resluts. The modest number of people that picked up the game deserve a full experience of Urban Tale and we will deliver that. - In the next few months we intend to add all of the above mentioned content and features. Once we have all of the features added and debugged, we will move the game from Early Access to a Full Realease. - Full release can be expected somewhere later this year.
Thank you.

Intro: - Most exciting system that we added to the game with this Update is the Growing of Vegetables and Harvesting. The Player can now Seeding Pots, Bags of Dirt and a whole range of Different Seeds that he can Plant in his apartment. Everything that the Player needs to get into the whole Planting experience is visiting one of the Flower Shops and everything that he needs to can be bought there. One they player has placed the seeding pot in this apartment and planted the seeds all he needs to do now is wait to Harvest.
- Within this Update you will also find a Leveling system for cooking and crafting, wich means that the Player needs a curtine amount of Experiance Points to Unlock new Craftable and Cookable items (everything can be found in the Diary). We Updated also the Crafting and Cooking menu in the Diary.
- With this update he has added also over 50 new Cookable and Craftable items to the game whilst making a steady approach toward a full release.
- The Relationship system was also updated allowing player now to commit to a meaningful Relationship with any NPC.
- A Banking and Loaning system was added to the game which allows players to get a Loan at the National Bank of Slovenia (be sure to pay it back though ;-)).
- This Update includes also a lot of Bug Fixes that were reported from Users here on Steam and to show our gratitude to them ourselves, we have updated the Credits section in the Main Menu, thanking everyone who purchased the game and specially thanking the Users that took the time and reported Bugs to us here on Steam.
- With every Update from now on we will be adding Users to the Thank you List in every Update period.
- Worth mentioning is also the first Beta system that allows Players to upgrade individual items in their Home. This current Version is currently a bit limited and the main purpose is testing. But later on we will extend this system so that every possible item and aspect of your apartment will be switchable/upgradable. The Upgrades can be found in the Hardware Store.
