Hello planet builders!

Time flies, and it’s already time for a new devlog! This time, we've got a few new planet biome we're excited to show you. If there's anything you'd like us to cover in a future update, feel free to drop a comment below!

Text follows below.



Desert Level
Another classic biome with iconic music?
Welcome to San, a desert planet biome that introduces new mechanics, buildings and more.

Watch out, placing a tile on a hot orange cell will burn it and drain its color, turning it into a desert tile!

Desert Ruins
Scorched tiles can still serve a purpose. The more desert you connect to ruin tiles, the larger and more rewarding the ruins become (as long as they're far away from each other).

Rivers and Pyramids
Rivers lower the temperature around them, allowing other tiles to survive. Make them longer to repel orange cells and connect them to pyramids to grow impressive structures and earn extra points.

We’re incredibly excited to finally announce City Transport Simulator: Bus! After intense development, it’s ready: the ultimate, realistic, and fully immersive bus simulation experience is coming! 🎉

City Transport Simulator: Bus launches June 11 for PC on Steam, and in September for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

You can watch the full event including interviews and announcements about Bus & Tram here: https://www.youtube.com/live/6UY2utuV1r8?feature=shared


City Transport Simulator: Bus is not a DLC – it's a standalone game on the CTS platform, which also powers CTS: Tram. In CTS: Bus, you become a bus driver and build and manage your own transport company in a highly detailed, European-inspired city.



Take the wheel of real, officially licensed buses from MAN and Dr. Richard, all recreated down to the finest detail – including authentic logos and designs. Whether you prefer a classic solo bus or a longer articulated one, you'll find a wide variety of vehicles and ways to expand your fleet.




City Transport Simulator is the technical foundation for multiple standalone games – including CTS: Tram and CTS: Bus. Each title can be played independently. You don’t need CTS: Tram to play CTS: Bus – and vice versa.

CTS: Bus is not a DLC or add-on – it's a full-fledged standalone title with its own content, vehicles, and gameplay modes. You can start and play it entirely on its own.



If you own both games, CTS will automatically recognize it and unlock all content seamlessly. No extra steps required – just launch CTS and enjoy everything you own.

The best part: even if you only own one of the games, the city will never feel empty. In CTS: Tram, AI buses drive through the city – in CTS: Bus, AI trams are part of the environment. This ensures a vibrant and believable city at all times. Only players who own both games can drive both vehicle types.

• Officially licensed buses: MAN Lions City A21 & A23, Gräf & Stift NL205 & NG235 – all authentically recreated with real-world details and liveries 🚍
  
• Massive route network with 80 stops: Create your own routes or use the sandbox mode with 8 pre-built lines 🚏
  
• Career & Sandbox modes: Experience varied gameplay – from managing your company to relaxing free rides 🎮
  
• Extensive customization: Choose from over 10 liveries and 50+ logos to personalize your fleet 🎨
  
• AI buses & tram traffic: Enjoy a lively city with AI-driven buses and trams independent of your own vehicles 🤖
  
• Steering wheel support: Play with your Logitech G29, Thrustmaster T300, HORI Truck Control System, or other popular wheels with built-in presets 🛞
  
• Shared platform with CTS: Tram: Play CTS: Bus and CTS: Tram separately or together – all content is included in a single installation and recognized automatically 📂
  
• Realistic city with high detail: The transport network and urban development are modeled after real European cities – perfect for sim fans 🏙️

CTS: Bus will be available June 11 for PC on Steam!
Console releases (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) are planned for September. The delay is due to the complex console publishing transition – but we’re working hard to deliver the best experience there as well.


Alongside the Bus release, we’re also rolling out a major update for CTS: Tram with many exciting additions:

• New stop styles from Berlin, Vienna, and Munich 🏙️
  
• Rename stops for more customization ✍️
  
• Choose your tracks freely for creative route design 🛤️
  
• AI buses in traffic for a more lively city 🚦
  
• Passengers react to your driving – with positive and negative effects 🎭
  
• AI cars honk if you break traffic rules – for realistic traffic vibes 🚗🔊
  
• And many bug fixes, optimizations, and features to improve gameplay feel

We guarantee: both Tram and Bus will continue to receive regular updates so both games evolve together and keep the city vibrant and alive.


We’re working on new vehicles like the iconic GT6 tram for summer and already developing the Tatra KT4D – stay tuned!



Also planned: Vienna as a fully new city map in 2026, with never-before-seen detailed routes for both Bus and Tram.

Friends!

Thank you for the warm feedback on our new preview format. Your support has encouraged us to continue this roadmap-style article series, offering a closer look at upcoming features before they hit the live servers.

In this article, we are excited to share some of the improvements coming in the summer season including a reworked player profile interface, an updated PvP room creation menu, and enhanced first-person hands that bring more realism to the game and pave the way for cooler melee weapon tricks.

Let’s take a look at what’s in the works!

---

[h5]Table of contents[/h5]

• Interface Update: Player Profile and PvP Room Creation
  
  • Revamped Player Profile
    
  • New Custom PvP Room Interface
• Sound Upgrade: Stage One
  
• FPV Hands Rework

---

We are continuing our work on improving the game interface, making it more intuitive, informative, and user-friendly. As part of the summer season update, two major sections are getting a fresh look: the Player Profile and the custom PvP Room Creation window. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new!

Our goal with the updated player profile is to make it not just cleaner, but also more meaningful and insightful. We have removed or relocated less useful elements and added new ones that players truly care about.

One of the most requested features—expanded statistics—is now front and center. You can now view detailed information about your performance across different classes, including:

• Number of wins
  
• Kill/death ratio
  
• Total time played per class
  
• Most-used weapons and their efficiency

And that’s not all! You will be able to filter Ranked and PvE stats by season, helping you track your progress over time. Quick match stats, meanwhile, will show your all-time performance.

Also newly visible in your stats: the number of MVP badges you have earned. Because being the best player of the round is something to be proud of!

Viewing other players’ profiles has also been improved. You will still be able to see their stats and loadout, but now you will also get access to a handy new action menu allowing you to send a friend request, open a chat, visit their clan, invite them to a party, or submit a report if necessary.

Need a refresher on where to find recent players? Click the contacts icon at the top right of the screen next to your profile.

Alongside the profile update, we have redesigned the custom PvP room creation window to be more compact, informative, and easier to navigate. We aim to help you create a room faster, while still offering the same depth of customization, whether hosting a casual match or organizing a clan battle.

We have also cleared up a point of confusion from the old interface: previously, the Private Room and Allow Joining options offered similar functionality but behaved differently. Now, this setting has been unified across all scenarios under a single term: Private Room.

---

As part of the first stage of our audio overhaul, we have implemented a number of important improvements aimed at enhancing how sound is perceived in the game. These changes apply to PvP maps available in Ranked Matches.

Footstep Volume Levels:

• Unique volume levels have been added for different player states: prone, crouching, aiming, walking, and sprinting. Footsteps while aiming are now quieter, and movement sounds feel more natural.
  
• Enemy movement is now louder than that of allies, making it easier to tell friend from foe.

Step Sound Distance:

• The footstep attenuation system has been reworked. The difference in volume based on distance is now more distinct, helping you better judge enemy proximity.

Gunfire Sound Dampening Adjustments:

• The effect that muffles surrounding sounds during gunfire has been temporarily toned down for steps. This allows you to hear what's going on on the battlefield even while shooting. We're planning to refine this effect in future updates.

Material Differentiation:

• Footstep sounds have been updated to better reflect different surface types (wood, asphalt, sand, etc.), offering clearer audio cues for orientation.

Environmental Noise Reduction:

• Ambient sound volumes have been reduced on maps (e.g., helicopters and background noises). In the future, we also plan to reduce the frequency and duration of such effects across other maps.

Volume Balancing and Sound Tweaks:

• Gunfire, movement, ambient map sounds, and other in-game audio have been unified under a consistent volume standard.

Indoor/Outdoor Acoustics:

• Maps are being updated with audio distinctions between indoor and outdoor environments, creating a more realistic acoustic experience.

We will continue working on balancing sounds, improving the footstep system, fixing audio issues, and enhancing in-game sound for a more immersive experience.

[color=yellow]Note: This is the first stage of testing. We encourage all players to jump into the game with the release of the summer season, try the new sounds, and share your feedback. Your impressions are key to refining the sound system![/color]

---

Last but not least, we want to tell you about the First Player View Hands Rework. We have updated first-person hands to look even more realistic. This improvement also opens the door for creating even cooler melee weapon tricks like the one below in the future!

[color=yellow]Please note that all these upcoming features are still in development, so they might be adjusted, reworked, or even completely overhauled before release.[/color]

[color=white]That’s all for now, friends! What’s coming next?[/color]
