Welcome to the greatly awaited EA 0.9!
Are you ready for a big update for Big Ambitions? Good then let's get started!
We want to start by thanking you for the little delay in the full release of EA 0.9 - it was a huge update with lots of changes, and it needed a little love and balancing, based on the feedback from our experimental version players!
But now we are ready to fully unveil the new and improved EA 0.9! There's a LOT of new stuff in this update, so let's walk through it all!
Brand New Tutorial
First up - we have a brand-new tutorial! For the most part, it should feel similar but heavily upgraded. Several items were missing from the previous tutorial like Health Insurance and Headhunters, so we made sure to add those.
Plus, many of you have expressed that you don't want to have to create the same two stores every time you do the story mode, so now the tutorial allows you to start any wholesaler business and dynamically adjust the tasks based on what store you set up!
With our new tutorial, we say a heartfelt goodbye to our original Uncle Fred actor, Mike McKay, who has passed away, and we welcome Jeff Pillars as the new voice of Uncle Fred to guide you on your business journey.
That guidance extends to some new "side quests" that pop up, based on what's happening in the game - like the first time a rival starts fighting you, Uncle Fred lets you know what's going on!
This new tutorial is ready to guide you through the latest and greatest version of Big Ambitions!
New Starter Delivery Job
Speaking of side jobs - we have a new starter job! For those who love the classics, you can still work at El Gato, but now you can spice it up with a new job option: the delivery driver!
Scattered around the city are vans that have deliveries waiting to go. These vans locations have a toggle in Voogle Maps to help you find them.
Once you take one of these delivery jobs, a timer starts ticking down for you to deliver items to three locations. Quickly make all three deliveries to earn your payday, but try not to damage the van - they'll deduct that from your earnings!
Upon returning the delivery van, you'll get paid for your services plus any tips from generous customers. Remember, faster deliveries can potentially earn more tips, so try to make the deliveries quickly!
Industry City
Speaking of driving around - remember that bridge that's been teasing "Opening Soon"? Well, that bridge is finally open and ready for you to venture across! What lays on the other side? Industry City!
It's a whole new neighborhood for you to take over, build your factories and dominate the market!
Industry City brings 6 new warehouse sizes (P1, P2, P3, Q1, Q2, Q3), which are great for creating factories:
New and Relocated Businesses
Okay along with these Industry City changes, some businesses have moved, so here's a handy guide to what's new and relocated!
