Mini Motorways News

A small patch fixing an issue with the colour of the Great Barrier Reef on the Cairns map while using colourblind mode.

G’day, city planners! Travel with us to the land down under as we visit the stunning town of Cairns, Australia, in the latest update to Mini Motorways! Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns is a nature lover’s paradise fit for the best explorers. Cairns you handle it?!

This tropical haven is situated between lush rainforest and rainbow-hued reefs in Northern Queensland. Create an efficient road network to get Cairn’s citizens from Palm Cove to the Esplanade Lagoon in no time.

In addition to our first-ever Australian map, this update features:

• Cinematic Mode! This mode pans across the map and follows your commuters on their journey
  
• Improvement to Game zoom only working when the game window is in focus
  
• New Achievements, Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges, and City Challenges.
  
• Various minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
  

We hope you enjoy this bloody good update, and don’t forget to share screenshots and GIFs of your creations!

We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Custodians of the region, including the Djabugay, Yirrganydji, Buluwai, Gimuy Walubara Yidinji, Mandingalbay Yidinji, Gunggandji, Dulabed and Malanbara Yidinji, Bundabarra and Wadjanbarra Yidinji, Wanyurr Majay, Mamu, and NgadjonJii peoples. The sovereignty of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples has never been ceded. We pay our respect to Aboriginal elders past and present as well as their continuing connection to these lands, waters, and communities.

This patch contains a fix to version 1.14 which was causing some elements to display incorrectly.

We are thrilled to introduce our first Canadian map to Mini Motorways! Vancouver is a long-requested city, and we know you’re going to love the unique geographical challenges it poses. This coastal city in British Columbia is home to narrow waterways and the famous rugged North Shore, with a bustling metropolis to the south and untamed wilds in every direction.

Vancouver is a city near and dear to our hearts, as some of us have studied, worked, and travelled there in the past, and it’s always fun to work on a map with a bit of dino history.

This update to Mini Motorways includes:

• A brand new map! Take a trip to the west coast of Canada and explore the highly-requested city of Vancouver, our latest Mini Motorways map.
  
• New Achievements, Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges, and City Challenges.
  
• Various minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
  
• Updated in-game button with a new look and feel.
  
• There is a known issue in this build: when the 'Analytics Report' option is deselected, the analytics are not disabled until the game is next restarted. Though this has no impact on gameplay, we're still working on a patch to ensure analytics are disabled as soon as that option is chosen.
  

We’re already hard at work on our next update, and it’s going to be a big one! While we tinker away behind the scenes, we hope you enjoy the B.C. coast as much as we have!

This update brings Unity to the latest version.



UPDATE: We've had reports of this build causing crashes on some devices, so we have uploaded the previous version of the game to Steam for those encountering issues.

We're working on a permanent fix, but in the meantime, if this update has impacted your game's functionality, you can do the following:
- Navigate to Mini Motorways in your Steam library, then right click on it and select Properties.
- From the Properties menu, open the tab labelled Betas.
- Enter in the password totallifesaver and you will gain access to a version of the game labelled previously-live.
- This will revert your game to the previous version.

Big thank you to all players who reported this so that we could start work on a fix straight away!
