Hello there, Landlords!
We hope you have some free time next month as the first major post-release update is coming soon! In the last couple of months, we have been taking our time pushing out hotfix patches and regrouping for the first batch of new content. One of the things we realized as we started working on what’s next is that we didn’t want to save the Workshop Update for last, as shown on our roadmap. Instead, we moved things around and are ready to bring it to you on Thursday, March 16th!
Steam Workshop
We have seen a lot of creativity in our community, and we know there are only so many new items and other content that we can put together ourselves. That doesn't mean we'll stop adding new items, but we simply want to give you an opportunity to add your own creations too. To help with this, we have decided to build tools for you to help make your designs come to life! Starting next month, you will gain access to The Tenants Modding Tools, where you will be able to create your own furniture items, walling, and flooring materials and share them on the Steam Workshop. This is just the beginning, though, as we have more plans to expand the feature list of our modding tools, but we are eager to see your first creations.
To tie in the exciting new workshop feature for the game, we have also taken in community suggestions of items you, as players, would like to see in the game as well. With this update, there will be an addition of over 90 new items added, including some start-off items in the workshop to get it going, so be sure to also check those out!
District levels
One of the things we wanted to add in this update is a new form of progression for the city and how well you do in each district. With the Workshop Update, we will be introducing more rewards for those who decide to go through all the jobs and apartments in each part of Wondersville.
You'll be able to gain experience by completing jobs, purchasing, and renting apartments. We have prepared a unique set of rewards for each district, so be sure to max them all out to get the most out of your apartments!
Job Favors
Jobs are always something that we strive to improve, finding new ways to differentiate them and add more in terms of stakes to each one. With the new update, some jobs will come in as favors for your tenants, completing which will yield bonus happiness and XP for your tenant. Just another way to make that one annoying tenant happy!
Looking Ahead
While the things we have shown today are coming soon next month, there is always more beneath the surface. We have also been working on the first-ever DLC for The Tenants that will be coming this summer! For more information, make sure to stay up-to-date with our future announcements to learn more! In the meantime, enjoy this teaser, and see you on the 16th!
Thank you,
Ancient Forge
