Achievements, performance fixes and much more! - Patch Notes v0.52.14

Hello everyone! ☕✨

It’s been just over a month since Early Access launched, and while our caffeine intake has tripled, so has our love for this game we’re building with you.

First of all: thank you. We’ve been receiving a ton of feedback, comments, bug reports, and suggestions—and we’ve been carefully going through every single one. Your support and ideas have made all the difference, and we’re so grateful to have you along for the ride!

Our priority up to now has been tackling the bugs and getting the game stable. Since launch, we’ve mostly been in full-on fix-it mode—squashing bugs, polishing systems, and improving performance. Here’s a small summary of the things we’ve been tackling over the past month:

• Save system fixes,

• City Reputation adjustments,

• Balancing storage spaces,

• Multiplayer sync improvements,

• University class rework,

Of course, we haven’t just been fixing bugs—we’ve also been sneaking in new content whenever we can. Some of you may have already spotted the Gothic sets or unlocked a few shiny Steam achievements. And now that things are feeling a bit more stable, we’re finally ready to start shifting our focus toward the fun stuff!

So what’s next? More features. More items. More ridiculous things you didn’t know you needed (but absolutely do). At the same time, we’re steadily working on optimisations to make your gameplay as smooth as butter! Thanks to your help, we’ve already addressed a lot of critical issues, and we’ll keep listening to your feedback to turn our little world into something truly amazing. And now, without further ado...

Here are today’s patch notes!
