What's up, Citizens!
This update for City 20 is all about those sweet, sweet Quality of Life improvements that you have been asking for in the past few months. Thank you for helping us make the game better!
Here is the full changelist:
Key Features
Added backpacks! They can be found, given as a reward or bought at the Emporium.
Sleep / Rest Changes:
You can now sleep on benches and sofas, around the world.
You can also rest on beds, benches, sofas, chairs and armchairs. Resting allows you to simply pass the time without needing to be sleepy.
Better NPCs Finding:
NPCs will now come up to you if you ask about them when near you.
NPCs involved in a quest will now answer the door if you knock it.
Now you can knock on fences. Useful when you are looking for the Raboch’s factory workers or the farmers!
NPCs that want to give you a quest will now look for you. Other NPCs will tell you that that specific NPC is looking for you.
Added dynamic blueprint books. They can unlock random blueprints when read, and can be found scattered around the city!
Enriched Lore: New topics, dialogues, and - obviously - mysteries. Added NPC backstories.
NPC Behavior
NPCs will now point at the subject of their dialogue.
You can now follow NPCs that are escorting you with the hold of a button.

Bug Fixes & Optimizations
Squashed many bugs you reported and we encountered.
Worked on many optimizations, making the game more stable, for a smoother experience.
Our goal with this Quality of Life update was to listen to our players, smooth out the rough edges, and make the city feel more alive and intuitive. We hope this gives both new and returning Citizens a great reason to dive back into the heart of the city.
