Main Street

Main Street Update 5 has added some competition to gameplay! Players now have some direct involvement with each other in the form of competing for coveted newspaper ads which will boost store popularity.

Along with the awesome news stands, we have also added a brand new theme! The taco shop theme allows players with little funds to start bringing in $$$ with little overhead. Profit margins are high, popularity is inevitable, and the product cost is cheap.

If you haven't checked out Main Street yet, it is an economic/tycoon game founded on three core principals: Collaboration, Creativity, and Competition. Read all about it here.

Thanks to all of you who have been playing with us so far and sticking with us! It's really nice to see that we've been getting some loyal followers and we love and appreciate your ideas and support.

Special thanks this week to Callen3 this week for helping to identify some graphical issues.
