City Builder Fest Demo Released!

Features:

• BROTHELS and TAVERNS introduce our new Entertainment mechanic with a new mission - use these structures to satisfy Heads of Households' new need for Entertainment as a housing upgrade requirement, and keep the Tavern stocked with Wine and Mutton to satisfy visitors' existing hunger and thirst needs as well.

• MORE HOUSING, QUICKER - a new house and two new apartments extend our housing upgrade chain to nine levels, with tuned upgrade requirements so each level only requires one or two new things

• BUTCHER SHOP - assign Butchers to turn Mutton into Chops as a luxury food, now required for Easter Service in larger settlements

• Boosted early game immigration rates to improve opening pace

• Color-coded residents' needs text based on current satisfaction level (green/yellow/red) to make it much easier to tell what you still need to achieve the next level of housing

• More granular city grading (X+/X- grades) and a wider range of mapped values makes it easier to track changes in grades

• Reduced derelict houses' undesirability radius so initial housing upgrades can occur without first having to clean up basically the entire derelict town

• Removed 20-tile radius limit on pegfolk searching for goods, they now search the entire map

• Tuned Easter Service grading for fairness, placing more emphasis on the most recent years

• Tuned Market/Churches/Santa Maria max workers, Market max resources

• Refreshed per-profession job wheel colors for better differentiation

• New dynamic SFX for assign/release worker UI

• Female immigrants use different 3D model

• Hover hints on all resource icons, regardless of where they appear in the UI

Bugs Fixed:

• Artists wouldn't build statues until their workshop was completely full of supplies

• Statues installed in plazas were not rendered after a game was saved and loaded

• Pausing then unpausing while in a faster game speed reset the game speed back to 1x

• Loading a saved game would trigger an extra immigrant spawn event

• Plazas' and churches' desirability ranges would shrink instead of grow when a statue was installed after saving and loading a game

• Baby sheep slid along the ground when first spawned (also tuned sheep movement to be less spastic / more lumbering)

• Emporium "Awaiting Pickup" resource totals became inaccurate when pegfolk set out to collect imported resources

• A whole bunch of game text was inaccurate/misleading/omitted information
