City 20 changes
What an incredible month it has been! We've been absolutely blown away by the growth of our community. Seeing so many new faces, reading your amazing feedback, and feeling the passion you all have for this project is what drives us every single day. We want to give a massive thank you to every one of you!
Before we get to the full list of changes, we want to set the stage: This October Dev Update is ahuge lore drop. We're peeling back the first few layers of City 20's deepest secrets and introducing the central conflict that will shape the future of the game. If you're here for the story, you're in for a treat.
Let's dive right into what's new?
We know how important it is to create a unique identity in our world. That’s why we’ve poured a ton of effort into the first iteration of our Character Creator. You can now customize your appearance with meaningful options, and we’re just getting started!
The world is changing. For a long time, you were the only newcomer, a force of change this land had never seen. Not anymore.
Whispers have turned into sightings, strange apparitions are spotted across the landscape. Our Mozga’s sharpest minds can find no scientific explanation for their existence; they defy all known laws. They are simply... there. All they know is the name they gave to them: Omniforms.
The Omniform invasion is not just a challenge for you—it's an existential threat to everyone in City 20, and the world is starting to react. NPCs will no longer consider you their only threat. The city will start to fight for its own survival.
But this new, desperate reality has a darker side. With resources stretched thin and fear running rampant, the social fabric is tearing. We are excited to introduce the first iteration of a system where NPCs can fight each other.
This is a foundational step for us. The concept of a world with emergent, multi-sided conflicts is something we plan to expand on dramatically in the future. What you see now is just the beginning of a truly dynamic, living world in chaos.
With a new threat comes a new kind of arms race. The appearance of the Omniforms has forced the factions of City 20 to scramble for answers, pushing the boundaries of their technology to repel an enemy they don't understand.
During the story, you can choose to help certain factions or researchers speed up their work. This decision is critical, because siding with one group will lock you out of the technology developed by another. This creates branching paths for gear progression, where different choices lead to completely different types of weapons and equipment.
It’s important to note that these items are still in the early stages of design and development. Because their discovery and creation are deeply tied to the unfolding story, we won't be spoiling their specific functions just yet.
However, we can't wait to show you more! Expect teasers and official reveals later in development, especially once we're ready to begin testing them in-game.
As the world of City20 expands, so does your arsenal of tools, gear, and consumables. We recognized that with newer and newer items being introduced each update, keeping track of every recipe was becoming a real challenge.
Your survival shouldn't depend on scribbled notes or a faulty memory.
That’s why we've upgraded the old Blueprint tab, transforming it into a more comprehensive encyclopedia. adding categories and filters for easier navigation.
The new Blueprint Tab includes the:
Blueprint List: A comprehensive, searchable catalog of every blueprint you have discovered.
Crafting Ingredients: A detailed breakdown of every component you need in a recipe.
Crafting Requirements: Know which workbench or facility is required to bring your creation to life.
Item Uses: Know which blueprint the Item is used as an Ingredient.
Crafter Outputs: See all items that can be crafted within the crafter.
We've been listening. As part of our commitment to improving game stability, we have started pushing hotfixes more frequently to address critical issues as soon as they are identified. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth as possible. That’s why a massive part of our effort is going into polishing the game and squashing bugs, and we couldn't do it without you.
Please, keep the feedback coming! If you encounter an issue or have a suggestion, the best place to share it with us is in our official Discord channel. We're reading everything.
Phew, that was a lot!
This was one of our most intense months yet, and it's all thanks to your incredible support and feedback. We're building this game together, and we can't wait to show you what we have in store for the future.
What are you most excited about? Let us know!
Until next time!
