Hey everyone!

A huge thank you to everyone who tried out the Desktown Demo! We've received tons of positive responses, insightful feedback, and helpful bug reports — and we're excited to roll out a new update that improves many parts of the game 🎉

Here’s what’s new:

  • 🏙️ 11 New Automators: 6 in the City era and 5 in Medieval.

  • 🖼️ Move Decorations: You can now reposition decorations after placing them.

  • 📚 Improved Tutorial: Clearer guidance and fewer bugs for smoother onboarding.

  • 🛠️ Bug Fixes:

    • Fixed overlapping decorations between areas.

    • Fixed UI buttons (like the menu) not opening properly.

  • 🍗 Better Food Balance: More food automators added — that annoying “Not Enough Food!” message should pop up far less now.

  • 🌍 Translation Improvements: Especially for German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean — no more tofu (□) characters!

  • 🎵 New Music Tracks: Switched to safer, attribution-free music by Loyalty Freak Music and ESPC — perfect for content creators!

  • 🌌 Satellite Typing Tip: We added a small indicator to press [SPACE] when entering satellite words.

  • ⚙️ FPS Limit Option: You can now cap the framerate.

...and more tiny improvements we might've forgotten 😅

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we’re super thankful to have such a great community of players 💛. We’re planning to participate in more festivals, grow our content marketing, and move closer to finalizing the demo!

Stay tuned,
The Desktown Team
