Greetings Builders,

the latest patch gave the game a better look and improved the performance. This update seamlessly takes over, where the old one ended. We improved the optics again, upgraded the shadows, gave the filters a new look and redesigned some buildings. So there is a lot to discover in Highrise City!





We just can’t stop working on quality of life improvements to make the game better optimized for all of you. For example, the shadows are brighter now, so you don’t feel like staring into the void anymore when looking at them. Forests now have their own ground texture and in general, the grounds are now more diverse. Whilst we are at the visuals, we improved the overall look of the filters, so be sure to check those out. And if you ever felt like you just didn’t have the right resources on the top of your screen, now you can add and delete them to your liking!
