6.16 update

[Nobrakes88]

It seems all the answers I can give you tonight are bad news. Alas, there's no set date for chapter 3.

Oof.
Anyways, the game is going well for me. I enjoy the game.

also I found a weird bug

 

[Etshk]

Hey everyone!
Here we are again with update coming your way next week.

• Holiday Rush special event with a new reward building: Shopping Mall
• Collect Snowflakes during the event and participate in the event ratings
• Use Snowflakes to purchase bonuses and Mystery Super Buildings in the event shop; this will be the last event this year to feature MSBs as rewards
• One more building, Miracle Mill, will be available through direct purchase
• New UI for the Flights menu; it's finally here, and I love it
• Some bug fixes, as usual

One more thing. Unfortunately, the 7.0 major update that we've hoped to deliver towards the end of the year, isn't happening in 2018. Although many of the team members work on it behind the scenes for several months already, it's not polished enough to be released yet. As of now, based on our current progress with it, we hope to release it in February, 2019.

The good news here is that we plan to do a private beta test of this update in January, 2019 with invitations sent to select Airport City players. Those will be able to send several invitations to other players themselves, which means that given a few hours/days everyone on the forum will be able to join it. The beta test will be limited to iOS devices due to tech limitations (sorry about that), but the update itself is coming to all mobile versions, of course.

That's it for now, more details concerning 7.0 update are coming in 2019, and I hope you'll enjoy those updates that we release between now and then (there're a few of them planned).

Cheers,
Ivan, and the Airport City team.

Can't wait to see the new updates and be in beta program

I too am interested in the Beta and will ask any forum members to consider inviting me if they choose to do so when it comes out. I’m usually asking people to beta stuff in my job and rarely get to be on the other side of it these days

For those new to this event it’s a pretty straightforward and simple one. I’m sure people will find something to complain about but it’s not overly taxing

Thanks Ivan!

THANK YOU Free2Play for the update

Unfortunately, it's not possible to change language there, as it is Russian social networking website with everyone speaking Russian except @Airport city cheat who wanted this challenge for himself — don't ask me why. Facebook version has all the same features and supports multiple languages. Helicopters on Facebook and other website versions are a sad story; we had them in production for a long time, but as of now they're postponed until we figure out what will be our next step with helicopters in general.

The reason I play the Vkontakte version of Airport City even though I don’t speak Russian is simply because I thought there might be more events. For example the Russian Victory Day - many forum members know about this event if you change you language settings to Russian then the event will show up, if your language is not set to Russian then it won’t... so I wondered what will vkontakte be like ‘Could there be even more events’?... so I started playing

Later I found out there is more flights (except for helicopters & mission to Mars) than iOS & more collections.

Thanks for the communication, Ivan. Personally, I'd rather have updates right than quick. Keep up the good work!

It's hard to be precise with names and numbers, because some of the artists work on several Game Insight titles at the same time. But it is up to 18 artists at max who work on cover art, buildings, and planes for Airport City, and around 12 of them work on AC full time.

Ivan, the UI is becoming more clear and crisp, and the imagery is so much better than when I first started playing almost 2 years ago. Please pass along our compliments to the artists.

Thanks for the communication, Ivan. Personally, I'd rather have updates right than quick. Keep up the good work!

I agree with Tom that your direct communication with the forum on updates and issues, while not official, is greatly appreciated. And the updates have become much more stable over the past several months, so please pass our thanks to your DevOps and QA teams.

That is also why I chose VK.

So where has the 'event' tab in the new Flights section gone?

So where has the 'event' tab in the new Flights section gone?

I don’t think there is an “event tab” since all of these flights are normal flights.

Ah ok. Shame. It makes things so much easier, when they are all in one place.

 

[Chazzy999]

Has the new event started?

I agree. I like the event tab, but I don’t remember getting it for all events.

Has the new event started?

Yes. I have it on IOS.
