Finally, I can present to you the latest update of Victoria in Big City! Today marks exactly five years since the first release and nearly a year since the last update. Version 0.6 is already the 11th version—or rather, only the 11th. I never imagined this project would last so long. And when I started working on this update, I didn’t think it would take an entire year.

That makes me even more grateful to everyone who has supported this project, who hasn’t lost faith, and who is still here. The long development time is largely my fault—bad decisions that I had to undo, along with factors beyond my control. I want to close this chapter and move forward with new energy, hoping for better times. This will allow me to deliver an even better game—and more importantly, in a shorter timeframe.

About the Update
This update is not a revolution, as I originally promised, but rather an evolution. During development, I had to change course after realizing I was heading in the wrong direction. But I believe we are now on the right path. Our small team has a solid plan, a strong foundation, and the necessary tools to work more efficiently. This groundwork took time and isn’t directly visible in the game, but I hope it will have a big impact on future updates.

Since this is an evolution, it will continue—some things are not yet finished, but I didn’t want to delay the release any further. However, many features are now complete and will no longer interfere with the story’s continuity.

Key Changes
  • New refreshed menu and UI – I hope you’ll like it!
  • Overhauled game structure – The game now offers more freedom and choices. Instead of just two main paths, there are now multiple intertwining ones, creating far more possibilities.
  • Meaningful choices – Your decisions affect not only current events but also future ones and even the ending (which is still far away!).
  • Updated point system – The three core variables remain, but choices now have a greater impact on the story. The secondary character point system has been removed to reflect the game’s expanded scale.
  • More characters and storylines – When I first started, I envisioned a simple game with 3 or 4 paths and a few characters. Now, there are many more storylines and characters that influence Victoria, and this is just the beginning.
Because of these changes, old saves may not work correctly or at all. I recommend starting fresh. I haven't provided pre-made saves at the end of the previous update because, with so many branching paths, I want you to decide how to play. That said, the "corruption" path is still similar to before, though some previously exclusive scenes are now accessible in other routes.

Technical & Future Plans
  • Rewritten dialogues to reflect the new branching structure.
  • New content and story progression – This update includes the largest amount of new renders and animations so far! But under ideal conditions, this amount of content should take 3–4 months to produce, not a year. That is my goal moving forward.
  • What’s still missing? – The soundtrack is not yet ready, though some progress has been made. Other features, like a replay gallery, are planned for future updates.
Thank You ❤
Now, what I should have started with—thank you. To everyone who has supported this project over the past five years, this game exists because of you and for you. There have been ups and downs, but I truly appreciate every one of you who believes in this project.

A special shoutout to one incredible supporter who has been here from the very beginning—five years of continuous support! I am deeply grateful. But I also appreciate every bit of support—whether it’s a Patreon pledge, a kind comment, or even just a heart on a post. It keeps me motivated.

And of course, a huge thank you to those who directly help me create this game: #Dwayne, #Obranyi, and #Kasi. Thank you!

I hope you enjoy the update! Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts. Let’s make this the start of something even better—more frequent and improved updates ahead!

Ayo... so this dude "realized he was headed down the wrong path" but still decided that expanding the total amount of paths in the game was a good idea???

I believe this is what many refer to when they say "the writing was on the wall"...

I doubt the paths will differ much as says right above the same content is in some, as by this very example here:

Public release
Public release is after it goes through its tiered release like most Patreon developer's do, so it will probably be a week to 2 weeks for public release. Public release usually is the same, but most of the time it has bugfixes and some little changes.

Hi, anyone want to share the new update? and please no need for someone to say go to patreon we are on F95 ok sharing site.
And why do you think people point you at Patreon when you ask questions like this? Just because you can get games on this site for free doesn't mean the people who initially share them get them for free. So if you want the game before it gets a public release or someone else pays for it and shares it, then yes, get your ass over to Patreon and support the dev.

I don’t know what to say about the update, I’m disappointed with this game creator. I don’t want to say much more until the game is actually here. I was a big fan of him, but now it feels like he’s just trying to win without putting in the work, and the result show
