INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone!
This is the third article for Powercity 9000. This article contains some information about the new update, future plans and more!
Powercity entered alpha. This is the last pre-alpha version.
This update is the last free update. Powercity 9000 will be available on desura soon. Maybe even steam, if powercity can pass greenlight once it's entered.
My friend is still not working on the game, but development will be faster when he works on the updates with me.
Sorry for the late update. This update is so late because:
- I went two weeks to Spain, right after the release of the hotfix.
- School started again, so I have less time to develop the game.
- This update is very big, and big things take much time... :)
