⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 0.4.0 is LIVE ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Hello 👋

After a couple of weeks, I have finally updated Victorian Idle! The new version, named 0.4.0 is live! Let’s have a look at this brand new version together.

This version has been designed to extend the game, right now, but also later. With this version, you can now work on multiple cities at the same time 🎉. Each city will have its own populations, with its own buildings and constraints. To settle a new city, you’ll need to build a shipyard first. As you can imagine, this version is also bringing the first iteration on another new part of the game: ships ⛴️.

Harbour

After you have built the shipyard, you can navigate to the Harbour menu. In this menu, you’ll be able to build Ships, send them to settle a new colony or to go on an expedition, and you can also create some trade routes. Further missions will be available in next releases.

New city: islands

A new city is available. Its name is “Islands”. You’ll have new populations with new buildings, new resources and new challenges. The main core feature of the game remains the same, but on a different environment. A quick view of some new buildings bellow.

What’s next?
