0.9 is in oven for a good while now... it is going to add content as always, but it is also MAJOR backend rewrite, introducing very intricate CPU performance optimizations, which allows me to push format of whole gameplay (e.g deeper city simulation and very advanced action element)
I already have great progress on it: game is now capable running 900 simulated NPCs on a 300x300 tile chunk each (virtually infinite city-wide, as each chunk is isolated)
Stay tuned on Discord for updates! Remember, I am actively accepting suggestions, critique and bug reports! :D
Cheers!!
