Greetings Everyone, Yet another small bug fix update this time around. It contains fixes for a pair of exploits, edge cases, a medium-sized bug, and a few little bugs. Unless anything major pops up, I am taking a break from GearCity until sometime next year to focus 100% on my next game, AeroMogul. GearCity's Free DLC, GearCity: 2nd Gear, is approximately 50% complete. I have another round of work on that before the end of the year. When I complete that round, I'll pause work on the DLC for a few months to focus on getting AeroMogul to a testable game state. In short, work on GC related stuff

Greetings Everyone! I have released GearCity version 2.0.0.9 for everyone and GearCity: 2nd Gear version 2.1.0.1 for FBS contributors. Version 2.0.0.9 has 11 bug fixes compiled over the last few months. I still have one or two things related to the mod tools that I will work on in the future. Work on my next game, AeroMogul is making steady progress, although work on the GearCity: 2nd Gear DLC for Feature Bounty Contributors has slowed progress somewhat since the last GearCity update. If you have any issues with the game, please don't hesitate to contact me. The next update to GearCity will co

Hello! Version 2.0.0.8 is now out. This update is another bug-fix patch of things submitted to me over the last few months. There is nothing too big in this update. But there are a few moderate and small bug fixes. Depending on what FBS Contributors fund in our Feature Bounty System, the next update will be in conjunction with the FBS DLC release. In other news, The Feature Bounty System crowdfunding milestone is 74.4% funded, and we have four more months to go. We are highly likely to reach the first milestone goal! That means new features in GearCity for FBS contributors. (Eventually, those

Hello everyone! I have another bugfix update for you. This time we have ten bug fixes, one of which is an exploit fix. We also have two gameplay changes, one of which may harm your company if you solely rely on racing contracts. And two engine changes, one of which allows you to increase GUI scaling to triple the normal size. In other news, The first milestone in our crowdfunding efforts for additional GearCity content is now over 1/3rd of the way funded. We continue to need your support to reach our milestone goal.

Greetings Everyone, I have released GearCity v2.0.0.5! This update fixes a few bugs in the game, mod tools, and settings editor. All our external programs are now running Qt5, which should help with HiDPI issues on all platforms. The Feature Bounty System has also launched. We're about halfway to our monthly goal to reach the first milestone before the deadline. You can find more details on the forums, the official websites, or our social media pages. Work will continue on documentation and fleshing out the FBS bounty lists. Changelog: -Engine: Some external websites in the game are now using

Greetings Everyone, I have released version 2.0.0.4. This update fixes a few minor bugs and exploits. You can expect the next patch once the community reports a work-week worth of issues. In the meantime, I will return to working on the Game Mechanics section of the manual. Work on the manual will last about a week. Then I will switch back to working on the Feature Bounty System items starting in the middle of this month. That brings me to the next bit of news. As you probably all have heard, Russia invaded Ukraine, and now the country is engulfed in war. Unfortunately, Serhiy, our contract ar

Greetings everyone, I have just another minor update this time. It fixes several smaller and medium-sized bugs with the game. This update superseded work on the manual, so I am a little behind on the Game Mechanics portion. I do not plan on delaying work on the Feature Bounty system because of it. So I will begin setting everything up for that starting tomorrow. I hope to get it ready to go by the end of the month. Change Log: -Engine: Rebuilt Freetype on 64-bit Windows to enable legacy scaling which will hopefully fix some font resizing issues. (I will post in the manual some optional librari

Hello Everyone, Another bug-fix update for GearCity. With the release hype dying down some, the next bug fix will be in a couple of weeks unless someone comes across a major issue. -Media: Normalize tutorial audio speaking, sound fx, and music. -Bugfix: Changing sound effects vol from off to on doesn't change tutorial audio volume. -Bugfix: Fixed auto-production not producing enough components for contracts when multiple contracts use the same engine for different types of contracts. -Bugfix: Apply to all not working when merge trims is enabled. -Bugfix: Merge Trim not showing all models on th

Hello everyone, A small bug-fix patch this week. I wanted to get it to you all yesterday, but my week was very heavy with greater than expected release traffic and some offline headaches. Then I was going to release the update Saturday morning, but at the last minute caught some vandalism in our translation system. So an evening update, which I hate doing. With that said, the translation system is locked down. You need to email me to register an account and tell me what language you want to work on. I will also be locking translators to a single language. This is for damage limitation in case
