Upcoming Direction + Patch Notes v0.04
Hello all, in this patch we have some more bug fixes, some based directly off of community feedback so far. We are trying our best to address game-breaking issues first before adding more content to the game, as we believe content would be meaningless without a stable foundation. This brings us to addressing some community concerns. We understand that generally games that label themselves as early access misadvertise, overpromise, and fail to deliver, and we apologize for any misconception about that. While it is true we have worked on this game for a few years at this point, it has been a bumpy journey to say the least, with multiple internal reworks, vision changes, and unfortunate but unavoidable turnover in our ranks. However, weve soldiered on and are committed to making steady improvements to the game. Some people may not agree with the state of the game as a playable game, and we totally understand that frustration. We do believe that we qualify as early access in the original sense of the program - it is simply access to those who are curious about the state of a game that is still very much in development. We hope that the wildly varying standard of early access used by other games does not diminish your view of our game too much. We are hoping that after a few more major bug/stability fixes we will be able to add more content to the game. We also have several features in the pipeline that have not been merged into the public version of the game as they still require some tinkering. However, they will serve as stepping stones to adding more depth and management to gameplay. For example, one of our top priorities is to release a new UI exposing guest preferences, thoughts, and motivations as well as better staff management and personalization. From there, we will build a business ratings system and allow players to analyze trends in guest desires. This is just one example of components to a larger ecosystem we want to expand upon to keep adding depth!

Patch Notes v0.04 (2 September 2022)
Build Mode
- Zone stretching has been re-enabled.
- Stretching zones no longer cause props to suddenly disappear.
- Fixed various issues related to undoing/redoing zone stretching.
- Fixed various issues with prop states that are sold/destroyed due to stretching.
- Developer note: This was a very complex issue and took a significant amount of time to resolve. Please let us know if you encounter any more issues related to this feature.
- Zone warning/error overlay should not disappear anymore.
- Developer note: We received reports that this would sometimes disappear - unfortunately it seemed to have occurred very rarely at random. We think the issue has been fixed, but we could not determine a reliable way to recreate the problem. Let us know if the issue persists and if you can recall the circumstances.
- The grid should now properly stay when switching directly between different build states.
- Added Not Yet Implemented (NYI) tags to research nodes that still dont have an effect.

City Block Builder is a genre-blending tycoon game with city-building elements. Build your own Business Empire through an immersive game with easy to learn, but hard to master mechanics. Inspired by tycoon games of yesteryear, experience a tycoon tribute to the 50s. Build Cinemas, Restaurants, Bowling Alleys, Shops, News Stands, Drive-Ins, Jazz Clubs and more!
Every enterprise has its own customization capabilities based on its specifications. With the option to play a dedicated campaign mode or an open world sandbox mode, the choices are limitless. Time to start a business revolution!
Carve out a name for yourself in the City of Stars and experience the golden era of America! California has never looked better than now and is the dream of every American. Everyone wants to be in Tentwood, everyone wants to start something in LA. But only a few succeed. The glamour and lights are enticing. But all that looks hunky-dory isn’t necessarily that.
What secrets does the City of Flowers hold? What problems will Joey face? What awaits you in the business empire? Will you make friends of enemies? Is the war truly over?
Each business will have its own extensive research system with different nuances. Unlocking different parts of the research tree is based on their opportunity costs. Higher points unlock better rewards but you can adjust your goals for short term solutions. With the research approach in your hand, you are completely in charge.
Would you be the quick-fire businessperson? Or would you be the patient strategist? The world is your oyster and so is the growth of your business.
You meet Joey, a 1950s war veteran, who has dreams and ambitions to become a business tycoon. A charming individual with a colluded past, he aims to turn his business and LA around and needs your help. Animated and voice-acted characters with a comic book-styled story mode grace the campaign. You encounter interesting anomalies in the city. Joey seeks those answers just like you. Each decision you make has its own specific implications as the story grows.
Will you do anything you can to rise to the top? Staying true to your morals or bending the rules to your advantage, the campaign mode offers a playground for you to experiment and succeed. Try innovative schemes or stick to the tried and trusted methods and build a business mega-city.
An extremely user-intuitive sandbox adventure awaits those who want to jump right into the thick of the action. Explore the game and harness your creative juices into building an engine of a business. Manage, and micromanage every single detail of your empire and aim for the stars. The perfect blend of gameplay with freedom, City Block Builder is surely up to the task of quenching your thirst for curiosity!
Right from the furniture to the lights, from posters to advertisements, feel what it was like to live in that era of America. With the signature style of 1950s LA, experience the art and aesthetic of downtown LA. Interact with, build and place items that once were the staple of that era. Movie posters, food, glitz and glamour, immerse yourself with what’s in store for you!
