The update 0.7.0 is now available!
This version contains a mix of various gameplay improvements and bug fixes that provide more clarity and fix some issues in the mid game. The main changes to highlight are:
Immigration is now more continuous and regular. It partially depends on the Food need % in your city. If your citizens are well fed, immigrants will arrive more quickly. Citizens migrating from a house within the city can also build new Towns, so that there is less emigration overall.
Citizens that are not in range of a Market or their local Market has not enough Food for them to buy, will be able to buy Food somewhere else, as long as they have money and there's Food in the city. If they do so, they receive a Productivity debuff (because of the inconvenience) but Food Theft will become less likely.
I have addressed the issue of blurry sprites when zoomed in on some resolutions. Please let me know if it's now better or there are still issues.
I have increased the version from 0.6.9 to 0.7.0 as a signal that a fair amount of the issues in the demo have been addressed, although of course there is more to improve.
In the next updates I will focus on adding new content to the demo and making it more replayable.
