Hello all. I hope you are not getting too much snow. But if you don't want to go out and shovel your driveway, I've got something fun for you to do instead.

We've been working on a few good things in the past two weeks. First as you can see above, we refreshed the login screen. This picture doesn't show it, but the mini-ur will rotate while you login. Possibly more important than that though, if you haven't already created an account with us, you can now do so directly from the login screen. There's no more need to be shuttled off to the forums page to do so. Whether you create an account on the game's login screen or on the forums website, the information is tied together so you can use the same email address to log in anywhere and it will point to the same user data.

You can now 'watch' a thread on the forums.[/caption] We made a fairly large back-end change to the forums, but you won't have any idea any of that has changed. The one thing we did change that you might care about is that you can now 'watch' a post. This means that, if you're watching a post, you will receive an email whenever someone makes a new reply to that post. In order to watch a post, all you have to do is click the blue button at the top of the thread. Once you are already watching a post, the button will be green and you can click it again to stop watching the post.

We've been working on making the server responsible for keeping track of your metabolics. What are metabolics? They control things like your mood, energy, currants, iMG and the like. Each time you log in, these things will be remembered from the last session. The biggest change here is that now each time you log in, your last street and position on that street will be restored (hooray!).

Do you have any feedback about anything that's been happening around here? Is there a feature that you think we've forgotten about and should be added ASAP? Have you found a world-crippling bug that hasn't been reported? We'd love to hear from you. Feel free to comment below, or on our forums or through any of our social media.
