Release notes

Every version of the game and what changed in it.

News is what is happening in the city and around the game. Release notes list each version of the game: what is new, what got better and what we fixed.

Release notes · Version 0.9.1 ·

Districts, burglars and a name of your own

New

  • Districts: each has its landmarks, and living there gives you a resident's perk.
  • Burglary: break into other players' homes, and buy cash-only defences for your own.
  • Daily life: happiness, drink and drugs with their ups and downs, and upgrades for your home.
  • Gangs rebuilt from the ground up: founding a family, ranks, the treasury and respect.
  • Your record: statistics for every crime, fight and more, per type, with charts for the whole city.
  • "Players online" in the masthead, and a "Find a player" search.
  • Your sign-in name is now separate from your game name, so nobody can guess half of your login.
  • Close your own account from Account; two-factor recovery options and an optional recovery question.
  • Pictures across the public website: the home page, news, pages, sign-up and sign-in.

Improved

  • Levelling slowed down: the climb to the top is meant to take a while.
  • Fights against players and against rivals are counted apart ("Players beaten", "Rivals beaten").
  • An equip picker to choose what you carry.

Fixed

  • The energy and nerve bars now match their numbers exactly.
  • Item rows on narrow screens; a way back to the game from the public pages; the draft note on the legal pages.

Release notes · Version 0.9.0 ·

The city opens its gates

New

  • The game in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil) and German. It picks yours from your browser or country, and you can change it at the top of any page.
  • The Evening Racket as a full broadsheet, with back issues, dozens of new wire stories and Staff Artists: players who draw the paper's pictures.
  • Two ways to fight a rival: a quick fight, or squaring up for a longer one.
  • The city's cast: named rivals and characters, ambushes on the road, gifts between players and the occasional stroke of luck.
  • Your inventory does more: every action on the item itself, selling to dealers, gifting to friends, and collectibles you can sell.
  • Two-factor sign-in for your account, and a "random character" button when you make your mobster.
  • The Rules and policies as tabs, a Releases page, and "Download my data" in your account.
  • Paid rewards and real perks for donators; bars that grow as you reach milestones.

Improved

  • Adults only: sign-up asks for your date of birth and country, and the game is for players aged 18 and over.
  • Swearing is allowed in what you write; a Hide strong language switch in Account hides it if you would rather not see it.
  • Numbers and money shown your way in every language; the logo sits in the masthead by night and by day.
  • A quick fight now costs 3% instead of 10%.

Fixed

  • The day and night switch and the language picker on the home page.
  • The home page's top bar stays on one line, with the weather on its own line.
