6.13 update

[Free2Play]

Hi there, we have a 6.13 update coming up later this week, and it's a Halloween one. What a lucky coincidence it turned out to be 'the 13th' release! Here's a preview.

Special Event

• The Dark Skies special event with a new reward building: Asylum
• Collect Ectoplasm during the event and participate in the event ratings
• Use Ectoplasm to purchase bonuses and buildings in the event shop
• One more building, Haunted Hotel, will be available through direct purchase

UI & Art

• Unique Quest Book icons for five early level collections' side quests that we've introduced in 6.10 update — Trade Island, Guns of Boom, and others

Gameplay

• Tactical Mode on/off setting will now be saved upon exiting the building interaction menu — you can use it all the time once again if you want to
• The option to rotate the building by tapping it while in the building interaction menu is back, although you can certainly use a Rotate button nearby to do the same thing

Tech Updates & Bug Fixes

• We've updated our game engine to the latest available stable version Unity 2018.2, which is a major step towards new features going forward, but there're inevitable minor bugs that might pop up here and there
• Fixed: erratic map scroll during the road construction
• Fixed: 'become an expert' notification message showing up when it shouldn't
• Fixed: the inability to complete construction of the last Reserve Hangar upgrade
• Fixed: the Oil Refinery header image picking up a header image from the previous menu
• Fixed: the clouds behavior being broken for the last few updates

Cheers,
Ivan.

Thank you for the update look forward to the new Special Event!

That sounds really good. The cloud behavior is indeed annoying in the moment.

Great news, thanks as always for the heads up

Just couldn’t help notice the changes in Fuel additive price, which correspond to a 20% increase ...

Sounds good....thanks for the update.

Is there still a "major update" planned for this year? You made mention of it earlier this year, but the second half of the year has been a bit of a squeeze due to some issues with the summer updates, so not sure if it's still happening.

It is planned, but as of now we don't expect it to be ready for release until mid-December. Part of the team works on it for several months already and we have some great progress, but I'm not ready to share anything yet.

Got it. Thanks. Curious to see what you guys have in store. Will be ready

Thank you for new update and new event

So the reward building...passengers for a welcome change or another useless coiner? I don’t think we’ve had a passenger building reward since Valentines...7 months ago!

Also, 100 item limit. CBM. Cheaters. YDL. Rah rah rah.

No thread would be complete without mention of these, but now I’ve done it everyone else is hereby banned from doing so. #AardvarkForModerator2019

Noooooo! The cloud behaviour has been much better on Windows phone since the last few updates! They actually spawn over the city now rather than barely on the map!

Update sounds great though! It will be my first recurring event... or at least elements of it will.

Chea....dammit.

Erm...

*insert sycophantic nonsense here*

All good - move along, nothing to see here...

Is...this considered a bug???? I thought the clouds spawning near and then drifting over the airport was a brilliant UI improvement to help players see and actually click on clouds!

It also works very well on the android system

Thanks

Just a quick query....wondering why all reward buildings or buildings you can earn through events always increase max population?
Why can't we get some that increase your max passengers for a change?

Good Question.

CBM at the same prices as last time.

Probably because those would be much more valuable

But I'm also wondering why the quality of reward-buildings is not as good as before. If I understand correctly from the Mystery Super Buildings collections we can buy, they consist of reward-buildings of previous adventures. There are planetariums, training centers etc in those collections. Wouldn't it be time for a reward-building of such stature?

Sounds like a great update and nice event!

Thank goodness for a breather.........LOL But looking forward with great expectations (as Dickens said) to the next 'shindig'. Thanks to you and all the guys at GI. Cheers from an egg-bound Baz

Aaah, that's after the Halloween event of course.
