BOO!

Are you not scared? Visit Warsaw City to join the spooky season festive. We've prepared pumpkins, treats, or tricks, depending on what you choose when some little ghosts with child voices knock you at the door.

As a game detective, who has seen and lived through a lot, it may not be easy to scare you, but we've done our best to send shivers down your spine. Spooky apartment decor The Gamedec's apartment has undergone a significant makeover. It's full of pumpkins, candles, garlands, cobwebs, and there is an unexpected guest with no signs of life.

Put on your Halloween costume and walk the streets of Low City. Visit virtualias in your spooky skin; after all, as a Gamedec, you have to be able to blend in with the crowd.

New main menu design

Renovation Update (26/10/2021)

Hello there, Landlords!

We're back with the highly anticipated Renovation Update, the second major update on our development roadmap. This time we wanted to address some of the most common complaints about the renovation mode and jobs related to it, including for example the ability to change furniture color variants. Of course as always, all of this is work in progress and we'd love to hear your feedback on the new additions and changes.

First of all, we'd like to start off by saying that this release won't require you to start over and you should be able to keep on playing on your current save files.

The other good news is that due to the release timing for this update, we've decided to include the Halloween themed content we've created as a part of the Renovation Update.

Now, without further ado, let's go over the most significant changes in more detail.

Item Color Variants

This has to be one of the most requested features by the community thus far: the ability to change the furniture's color scheme. It took us some time to implement this, as we already have quite a few items in the game, and we needed to go back and redo each one to support several different color variants. On top of that, as we looked through the pool of available items in-game we decided to add some (over 300!) brand new items to spice things up. We've specifically targeted the tags (more on that in the next section) that had the fewest items.

We've also had to take care of the items you've already placed in your properties, as some of them were already a variant of other items implemented as separate furniture. So these items will need to be replaced if you plan on changing their color variants.

We hope that with this addition you'll be able to unleash your creativity and design your apartments perfectly to your likings. And we can't wait to see some cool screenshots of your creations!

Item Tags

One piece of feedback that we've been hearing a lot since that game's launch, was that job clients wouldn't pay attention to furniture styles and how all items, walling and flooring choices fit together into creating one coherent design.

We've decided to tackle this issue by creating a set of 16 unique tags that describe the items: from the common ones like Modern or Vintage to the more niche ones, such as Zen or Rustic. Each item has at least one tag to label it and some of them will even fit into two or three different tags.

To tie it all up, we've added tag preferences for both the job clients and tenants that are taken by them into consideration when judging the apartment. Starting now, in order to get those juicy 5 star reviews you'll have to start paying attention to the overall style of your interior designs - so they fit your clients' whims.

Similarly, some tenants might have a preference for Cottage furnishing, while at the same time despising everything that has to do with the Military tag. This might be worth keeping in mind during your next Open House!

Item Placement Proximity

Another area that lacked depth in the game was the way the game looked at item placement. Previously, it didn't matter where exactly you put the plunger and whether it was even remotely close to the toilet; all that mattered was that it was placed in the correct room. With the new item placement proximity system, the game will now check where the newly bought items are placed in relation to other furniture and appliances.

For instance, placing a towel rack too far away from either the shower or the bathtub will result in a decor penalty. Likewise, to get the best score you'll need to make sure your microwave is placed on the kitchen counter and not just about anywhere on the floor.

We'd love to hear your feedback on these changes and your ideas for new (either positive or negative) proximity bonuses between certain item types that could be added into the game.

New Elite Contracts

As is tradition with a big update like this, we're back with a set of new and fresh Elite Contracts. This time we've implemented 6 new unique jobs, each introducing a new, unique residential building to make these jobs even more memorable.

Each of these Elite Contracts comes with custom item sets to add more variety to your interior designs. The new contracts will take you to a number of unique places: starting with the Beach House, through the Beauty Salon, ending with a lofty Private Investigator's Office.

New Tenant Archetype - Musician

Welcome the Musician, a new tenant archetype that is now available across all districts in Wondersville. This is probably the archetype that took us the longest to implement, and we've spent quite a lot of time working on the animations and all the sound effects related to it.

Musicians, unsurprisingly, like.. all things music related! They'll be happy to play the piano, drums, the guitar, and any other instrument you can hook them up with. Some might be so addicted to music notes they'll even go out of their way to play music video games on their computer. One thing is certain: get them what they need, and they will pay you back with beautiful harmonies!

Halloween Event (until November 18th)

Who doesn't like some pumpkin latte to spice up their autumn evenings? Well, apparently this one guy would go as far as to say that he loves it! Meet the one and only Count Dracoola, a mysterious individual who came from afar and settled down in an old, totally not suspicious, rundown mansion. Man that guy's cool! Um, anyway... word on the street is that he'll need help renovating the place to make it appropriately scary for anyone daring to snoop around the premises.

Windows

Tired of that perfect spot for a shower being constantly blocked by an annoying window? Worry no more! From now on you'll be able to remove and build new windows in your properties as you please. This new feature is available through the Remodelling tab, the same one where you can build new walls and install door sockets.

Additionally all the windows related items (such as window curtains) will snap to the closest window now.

Sampler Tool

We've also found some time to add a cool quality of life feature, a tool for sampling objects and materials already placed in a given apartment. Now you won't have to waste precious minutes searching for that pesky red wallpaper that the client has used in their bedroom to match it. Simply press one button and voilà!

New Items

As we've mentioned above, we've gone through all the items we already have in the game, looked for the tags and item classes that could really use some more variety, along with browsing through all the awesome suggestions made by our community. In today's update you'll find over 300 brand new items, including furniture, wall patterns and floor options to play around with!

On top of that we've upgraded some of the old floor textures to make them more coherent with the newer patterns.

Patron update v1.041.0

Hi everyone!

Got a nice little update for you all and here's the change-log

- Tweaked citizen walking "patterns". This is a combo of performance optimization and some improvements
- If a worker carrying stuff dies on the way, what they was carrying ends up in the stock directly. This is to prevent extremely fast die-off and a snowball effect because the worker could have been carrying food for example (which leads to more deaths)
- Added the Research name in the "Research done" pop-up
- Fixed a bug where the "Clear building" selection grid was left hanging when exiting to the menu and back

Update 1.0.5.800

List of changes:

- Fixed an issue when Aiden couldn't fly away from Gigapolis after handing over the Mueller

This bug can no longer be encountered in the 1.0.5.800 version and later. If you have encountered it before, please send your logs and save files to steamsupport@alawar.com:

- Go to the “C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Alawar” directory
- Zip up the “They Always Run” folder
- Attach it to your email

- Fixed an issue with item color variants reverting to the default ones when exiting Renovation mode in some cases.
- Fixed an exploit where players were able to add more items to their player stash than the limit allowed them to.
- Updated the development roadmap image.

Jobs

- Fixed an issue with one of the broken armchairs in the Dracoola's house.
- Fixed a few issues with broken job apartment variants.

Greetings templars!

Halloween is right around the corner and we have prepared a very special update for all players!

Until November 11, a door close to the elevator at the end of the level in E1M1 is open, and a portal leading to the Halloween side area has been activated. You will face resurrected monsters and their master, Headless Necromancer - can you become their worst nightmare, again?

In the Halloween side area, you can:
1. Obtain a Halloween-specific emblem Pumpkin Curse for your trap launcher, which greatly increases the damage of lightning stun and reduces the max HP of enemies. This effect will be more powerful during Halloween.
2. Obtain several weapons in advance in E1M1, but they do not come for free - you need to explore the level, find special tokens or win them in a shooting gallery minigame, and exchange them for these weapons.
3. Face the revenge of the Headless Necromancer - tell it who's the boss here!

Additionally, we have prepared a contest for all owners of Dread Templar - Take a screenshot of your achieved high score in the Halloween shooting gallery minigame, share it on Twitter and include the name you would like to be known in the game as, and the hashtags #DreadTemplar #Halloween #Contest and tag the account
@1C_Company
. After the Halloween event ends, we will pick 10 highest submitted scores and they will be featured on a leaderboard in-game, introduced as an Easter Egg in an upcoming update!

Happy Halloween!

Changes and fixes
• Enjoy a new Halloween-themed side area and mini quest, complete with a unique bossfight. But better hurry, the area is only accessible until 11/11/2021
• Earn the “Pumpkin Trap” emblem to show off your appreciation of the scariest time of the year
• Get into the Halloween spirit thanks to the halls of Hell adorned with seasonally appropriate decorations

Halloween Update and free stuff released!

Welcome Patrons to the Halloween Masquerade!

We said we'll have a li'l something for you for Halloween and here it is. Dress up your prosperous town into a Halloween gown and join in on the spooky parade.

The free DLC changes the buildings and other assets to look spooky and switches the weather so there are no sunny days. Sunny happy days have no place on Halloween ;).

The add-on is completely free and is installed automatically via update. And when you're done with the festivities, just deactivate the Halloween Masquerade DLC through the game launcher and everything will be back to normal. You can always turn it back on if you wish.

Happy Halloween and, as always, govern on!
