Hello everyone!
Its with great pleasure that I meet you once again, as I do every week, to talk about the upcoming major update for City Game Studio! But first, lets take a quick look back at last week.
Promo Recap
I promised you a surprise, and I hope you enjoyed the 50% discount! And because good things come in pairs, I also slipped in some additional content with version 1.20.0. Honestly, the update was very well received. Of course, there were a few hiccups, which led to some important fixes, making the game even more stable!
Thanks to the Steam Daily Deal, we had over 600 players simultaneously enjoying City Game Studio. Thats an incredible number I never thought wed reach, and probably never will again! I want to thank you all for your support and for being part of thisit was an amazing moment for me!
Next Update
Now, lets talk about version 1.21. This update will introduce a bit of automation to City Game Studio. A new character will be addedthe Studio Director. Their role will be to automate game creation. By assigning studios and specialists to them, theyll be able to create games, and even handle updates.

However, keep in mind that Studio Directors wont be perfect. Theyll try to make the best games possible, but they certainly wont be as good as you! Studio Directors will be able to manage between 1 and 6 studios, allowing them to produce AAA games if they have access to producers.
When a Studio Director creates a game, youll still have the option to step in and cancel it, though they wont be too happy about it.
Im still thinking about what other bonuses Studio Directors might bring. To give you an idea, producers boost developers productivity, and accountants reduce taxes. But I havent quite decided what the Studio Directors bonus should be. So, if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the commentsIll be reading as always.
I do have one idea for a bonus, but Im not entirely sold on it. The Directors bonus could be their ability to manage specialists. Some directors might only handle one specialist, while others could manage up to 10, allowing them to oversee several producers, marketing managers, or accountants.
Thats all for this week.
Ill see you again next week as usual.
Thanks for reading, and take care!
