In the two months since StarScraper released, there has been so much we wanted to add and improve that we had trouble fitting it all into one update. So much so, in fact, that we decided to put together one big Industrial-strength one!
addedAnnouncing Starscraper 1.1: "Industrial Strength" Update Part I.Since before we released we’d been wanting to add more dimension to the resource side of our tower simulation. What’s the fun if there’s only one dimension to how rich you are(n’t)? Therefore, we focused this update on adding industry to your skyscraper. Now, not only can you build up your tower, you can also build up massive supply chains and stockpiles of consumer goods for your stores!

addedAnnouncing Starscraper 1.1: "Industrial Strength" Update Part I.We still have a little bit more in store, so this will be part I of a II part update. We're also adding some more secret cool content in Part II, but we want a little bit of time to make sure everything in Part I works first. We've added a lot, so we're going to keep an eye on it's performance as we polish the second half of the update.

Announcing Starscraper 1.1: "Industrial Strength" Update Part I.

Welcome! In the two months since StarScraper released, there has been so much we wanted to add and improve that we had trouble fitting it all into one update. So much so, in fact, that we decided to put together one big Industrial-strength one!

Since before we released we’d been wanting to add more dimension to the resource side of our tower simulation. What’s the fun if there’s only one dimension to how rich you are(n’t)? Therefore, we focused this update on adding industry to your skyscraper. Now, not only can you build up your tower, you can also build up massive supply chains and stockpiles of consumer goods for your stores!

We also have been hard at work improving the game’s ease-of-use and clarity. We've also added over 25 new rooms, with new mechanics to help differentiate them from the rest!

We still have a little bit more in store, so this will be part I of a II part update. We're also adding some more secret cool content in Part II, but we want a little bit of time to make sure everything in Part I works first. We've added a lot, so we're going to keep an eye on it's performance as we polish the second half of the update.
