v1.2.3 Now Available
 
 
A small but powerful gift to our Community Challenge participants prior to the experimental launch of Mod Support.
 
Release Notes
Quality of Life
Photo Mode: If the new "Lock" toggle is active, Photo Mode will now retain your previous settings the next time it is opened. This allows you to switch back to build mode without losing your photo mode composition. These settings are also saved whenever the city is saved, so you can easily resume your last photo mode session after closing the game.
Photo Mode: The Camera Height slider range has been expanded to -6 / +6 for more dramatic angles.
Photo Mode: Sun Color now applies to both sun and moon objects
Photo Mode: Taking screenshots at a different resolution than the current game resolution will now take an additional 1-2 seconds, depending on your system, to allow the temporal fog to resolve properly and produce a more accurate image
 
 
Bug Fixes
Fixed some Photo mode settings that would not reset correctly
Fixed a camera judder when entering Photo mode.
Fixed a problem where the Sun Color and Intensity sliders would not always apply changes consistently.
 
 
Future Photo Mode enhancements
This is the first of several planned enhancements to Photo Mode including camera movement modes, additional settings, and quality of life improvements. Stay tuned!

New Soundtrack by Sascha Dikiciyan
With credits including The Long Dark, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Quake II, Mass Effect 3, and the soon-to-be-released Metal Eden, Sascha Dikiciyan (Sonic Mayhem) brings his signature cinematic-ambient compositions to Dystopika, a meditative city-sculpting experience for creating stunning cyberpunk cities and future noir vibes.
 
Meditations from the Future is a sonic journey through ambient cityscapes and imaginary futures. Blending nostalgic synth textures with modern minimalism, Sascha crafts a reflective soundtrack for Dystopika - Influenced by the old-school Berlin electronic sound and modern cinematic soundscapes, it weaves emotion into architecture, shaping the skyline of your imagination.
 
A digipak CD featuring original artwork by Rob Sheridan (NIN, Pearl Jam) is now available for pre-order.

New Districts: Labber’s Row and C-VILLE
 
Labber’s Row
Labber’s Row is the home of cutting-edge research, where advancements in materials science, weaponry, biotechnology, and chemical engineering shape the future behind closed doors. Within its labyrinth of imposing, brutalist structures, the scientific elite—known as "Labbers"—operate under a strict veil of secrecy, their work shielded from prying eyes by both physical and procedural fortifications. The air here is thick with sterilization protocols: UV-sanitizers line the streets, pulsating with an eerie glow, while infrared scan stations stand as silent sentinels, ensuring that contamination is swiftly detected and eradicated.
 
C-VILLE
Connectville serves as the black market hub of the dystopian world of Dystopika. It is a vibrant, chaotic tapestry of favela-style alleyways crammed with backstreet shops, ramen stands, and a maze of tangled electrical wires. Known colloquially as "C-VILLE," its interconnectedness mirrors the tightly woven local supply chains that have evolved over decades between the district's myriad of specialty shops. These connections have birthed a dense network of skybridges and makeshift pathways that thread through the heart of the district.
