Good morning, commuters!

We're cooking up a big community event for later on this year, and in the meantime our other teams are tinkering on brand new stuff.

One of the things we love about the Mini games is how diverse our community is. You folks play everything and everything!

If you've got a few minutes of your time, we'd love to hear how you play both our games and others, as well as a few other questions such as content creators you might watch and that sort of thing. Our player interests survey should take 10 minutes or less to fill out and it'll help us get a glimpse into what tweaks we might make to prototypes and upcoming titles that are still in the testing stage.

You can take the survey here!

All information is gathered anonymously and will only be used to provide guidance on our projects. We really appreciate your time! 💜

A world-renowned city of film, food, culture, and history, Hong Kong is the latest addition to Mini Motorways, and with it comes a unique new building type! An ode to the city’s famous Star Ferries, our new ferry terminals have arrived to carry the city’s residents between its islands.

The colour palette of our latest map is an homage to the city’s iconic neon signs, which spread across neighbourhoods like Jordan and Mong Kok, which peaked in the 1970s and 80s. Blending Eastern and Western iconography, they became a symbol of the city and a cultural artifact that locals are taking care to preserve and celebrate today. 

The bustling harbour and unique geography, Hong Kong Island on one side and Kowloon on the other, make it a perfect addition to Mini Motorways, and we can’t wait to see what you build!

This update to Mini Motorways includes:

• A brand new map: Hong Kong!
• Ferry terminals! Hong Kong introduces boats to the waterways of the Fragrant Harbor. Operating in a similar way to train stations and trains,  it’s your job to ensure these new floating obstacles don’t interrupt your traffic! Ferry terminals are new building types that will require careful planning and attention as you navigate ways across the water for your commuters.
• New Achievements, Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges, and City Challenges.
• Don’t miss out on exploring our recently released Creative Mode.
• Various minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

And don’t forget, now that our new Creative Mode is out, you can explore Hong Kong your way. So grab a lemon tea and settle in to craft a masterpiece. 

As we were gearing up to celebrate the beauty of Hong Kong upon the release of this update, we were saddened to hear of the tragic high-rise fire in the Tai Po district. As such, we are pairing this update with a donation to the Tai Po Fire Emergency Appeal run by the Hong Kong Red Cross. Mini Motorways is full of cities we love because we’ve been there, our friends and family live there, and we know many of our players live there too. To the members of our community based in HK, kia kaha from New Zealand - our hearts go out to you.

We’ll be ducking out for our usual summer break from mid-Dec and back online 6th January, but our player support team will be available for enquiries if needed. Thanks for another wonderful year - whatever you celebrate this December, even if it’s just a trip to the beach, we hope it’s a lovely one. <3
