Repeated intro

Hello there, Lawn Care Enthusiasts! It's been almost a month since out last update, and we've been cooking up something... otherworldly. With our newest update we bring you 2 New Levels and a New World Map which is another step towards our promise of AI Free Art. With the 2 new levels we were able to introduce new systems on our backend to create more dynamic experience within each level. So no more waiting, hop onto Ben's Arcade and drop some quarters. It's time to mow! As always thank you all for your continued support and now let's dive into the new and exciting content!

addedNew World Map:
addedLast patched we announced our move away from AI. We started with the most forward facing Steam Art, and this patch we focus on the next being our World Map. We wanted to build something that reflected out cozy, but vast Trimsdale, while all giving an area to explore different Lawn Care possibilities (this is foreshadowing). So with patch 0.12.0 we now debuted the new World Map. It is fully 3D and rendered in real-time. When you select a map you will be zoomed into the map to see exactly where it lives. We felt this would help in building some immersion and adding character to our world.

New Level: Ben's Arcade

On the outskirts of Mowapolis there is a step back in time to a place known as Ben's Arcade. It is a staple business of the city and one of it's longest running establishments. You cannot be in business as long as Ben has without some maintenance. Here you will find yourself pick up trash left behind by previous customers, hedges to trim, and grass to cut. All the while those beautiful arcade cabinets are just blinking away through a locked door. But don't forget, we mow for the users.

New Level: Museum 2nd Wing

Revisit the beautiful and relaxing Trimsdale Museum as they recently debuted their second wing sponsored by none other than some of your previous customers. In this multi staged level you'll be restoring the beauty to 3 different Exhibits that represent the hard work you've down so far. You will find the Mowhawk Mascot, the Silver City Cinema Statue, and even Ben sponsored an Arcade Cabinet hedge. Trimsdale is sure proud of it's Lawn Care Hero.
