Thank you for reading me, and for playing City Game Studio. There are still a lot of mods to discover, I invite you to have a look on the Steam Workshop. And if you ever want to contribute, you can use the tool that allows you to create mods for City Game Studio, the ModMaker.

Hey folks,
Just a month after the last update and here we are again, with another one. It's not as big as the last one, but it's big enough!
SteamDeck
City Game Studio works on the SteamDeck, even though it is not officially verified by Valve. Thanks iep for testing the game on his device!
Better Dark mod support
A lot of bugs have been fixed regarding pagination, conventions, tooltips... Dark mod was released in a hurry, I wanted it to be part of the v1.6.0 update, but haven't had time to test it 100%. I knew it was playable but not perfect. Here we come with a way better dark mod theme, texts are now visible, including icons.
Better interface
Those changes have been made thanks to this review ( https://steamcommunity.com/id/X22Commander/recommended/726840/ ). In details, when we receive an email about a new convention, we can click on Attend convention to open the convention panel directly (handy indeed). Also, you can click on managing marketing campaigns directly on the right panel when you release a game.
Better mod support

Good evening to all!
Three years ago, City Game Studio was released in early access on Steam. A tremendous number of changes were made in this period of time. There have been a few redesigns of the game, Steam reviews have gone from Variable to Very Positive, and who knows, we could reach 1000 reviews!
Dark theme
Many people have given me very constructive feedback, which helped me to significantly improve the game. Lately I had some feedback about the interface being too bright. So I added a dark theme to City Game Studio. Once the option is checked, it's better to restart the game to have a better experience.
Cheat codes
There is an in-game console to cheat, you can press F1 or F5 to activate it. There are two new commands available with this update, one to add competitors, and another to automatically fill free desks with developers with perfect stats.
Custom platforms
Minor redesign of the consoles, I added hard drives. Among the things you asked for, I had forgotten about hard disks. The good news is that this new type of component is part of City Game Studio, the bad news is that they cost quite a bit!
UI
In addition to the dark theme, there have been other adjustments. When you click on an employee, an employee's happiness gauge now shows why an employee is unhappy, giving you the essential information to improve your employees' happiness.
Annual financial statements are also available. You can now view your company's financial statements since its creation, for new savegames. For old savegames, the history will only go back to the year from which you start in version 1.6.0.
Miscs
Among other small changes, the spontaneous applications are now made by famous developers from the video game world. Some consoles have been re-balanced and new background music has been added.
The best for modders! It is now possible to add keywords in mod events. There are 3 keywords [company_name], [studio_name] and [game_name]. If you use these keywords in your mods, they will be automatically substituted by the computed values (player name, company name and game name selected by the event).
There are other small additions and fixes, I invite you to either launch City Game Studio (it's the easiest way) or read the full list of changes below.
Thanks to you for being so supportive. I hope next time I can share with you Real Estate Online, my new project. Have a nice day, xoxo

Hey,
Another tiny update, it becomes regular now. Just adding a new feedback when you work with a competitor to make a game. As soon as you know you'll have to pay a penalty, if you don't have enough money, the game will warn you and suggest you to take out a mortgage.
I think it is better than going bankrupt. This update contains also a tiny bugfix regarding custom platforms.
I also improved the chart rendering and added 4 new competitors such as: ZeniMin, Rito Games, GreenByte and Warner Sis.

Hey,
it's been a while since the last update right? Here comes another weekly update for City Game Studio.
What's new? New tooltips for game engines, trade publishing offers and game editions. A bit of balancing for custom platform, the new maximum price is set to 1 500$, and you can get a CPU online compatible as soon as 1996, which is better than before (ie 1998).
Thanks to your feedback I also fixed an issue with font rendering. Wish you a pleasant week,

Happy new year guys!
Wish you the best for 2022. Let's talk about that new update. I've been working on improving the Game Of The Year selection panel to help you out selecting the right game.
Beside those changes, I also added a new tooltip when you create a video game console, to explain what to do while you are creating it. Also custom platforms have been re-balanced a little bit. Your consoles won't get affected by the 1983 crash, but in the CEO difficulty. This parameter is moddable, so modders can customize this setting.
CGS uses larger fonts for tooltips on lower resolutions. On low-end hardware, game creation panel might blink, it shouldn't blink anymore.
Thanks to Menguele, pt-br translations have been improved. And, that's all for today, Hope you'll like this tiny update

Hey folks,
I think it is the last update of 2021, it is a really small one that includes only one new feature which is a new tooltip that explains how to make a free to play game
Beside that change, I also fixed an issue were the game freezes after few months. And I reworked a little bit the sales algorithm to fix that specific issue

Happy holidays folks!
So, I read your feedbacks on Steam and decided to work on the interface for a while in order to improve your experience.
Amongst other enhancement, when you create a new console, knowing if a CPU is online capable is now more clear. There is a big red cross on the online CPU capacities.
Also, porting a game onto another platform might be tricky. And the compatibility bar was not visible enough, so I changed it's color, it turns red when it is not compatible, yellow when it is an OK match, and blue when you'd better port it to that platform
Regarding remakes and required points. A new tooltip helps you understand how it works behind the scene.
I'll keep reading your feedbacks on discord, github and steam reviews to improve City Game Studio.
