Our newest update is here, bringing full support for Linux and the Steam Deck, along with several nice interface improvements!
What's New:
- Steam Deck & Linux Support: The game is now playable on Linux and officially optimized for Steam Deck.
- Better Interface for Handhelds: We've overhauled how the game's interface scales. Everything from menus to fare slips will now look better and be much easier to read on the Steam Deck and other displays.
- Gamepad Tutorial: The game now recognizes when you are using a controller and will show you the correct gamepad button prompts during the tutorial.
Visual Polish:
- When you drag a car key over a customer's fare slip, the key now becomes slightly transparent so you can easily read the customer's details without the key getting in the way.
- We've given the opening story letter a fresh new look.
- Customer trait descriptions on the side of the fare slips have been shortened and organized so they are easier to read.
