📢 New Citizen – Major Development Update

Hey everyone,

It’s been a while since our last update, and today we’re excited to finally share what’s been happening behind the scenes with New Citizen. The silence has been for good reason—because we’ve been hard at work making major improvements and preparing for the biggest update the project has ever seen.

🔧 Project Optimization & Cleanup

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been focused on a complete project-wide cleanup and optimization. This included reorganizing the entire Unreal Engine content browser structure to be much cleaner and more efficient, as well as reviewing every file in the project.

We’ve carefully checked for dependencies and removed a massive amount of unused content—over 40 GB of textures, meshes, levels, models, animations, blueprints, and more. This effort has not only made the project more manageable on our end, but it should also help improve performance, reduce clutter, and streamline future development.

🚨 Upcoming Major Features

Now, let’s get into what you can expect in the upcoming major New Citizen update:

• 🔥 Firefighter Job
  Respond to emergency callouts with structured missions and dynamic scenarios.
• 🧍‍♂️ Character Customization System
  Create and personalize your character with our all-new customization system.
• 🚗 New Vehicles & First-Person Interiors
  Experience immersive driving with new vehicles featuring advanced door interactions, detailed interiors, and true first-person driving for all vehicles.
• 🗺️ Upgraded Map
  The game world has doubled in size! We’ve added a new city packed with skyscrapers, improved visuals, and better overall performance.
• 🚑 Paramedic Missions
  Help save lives by taking on missions as a paramedic with unique gameplay scenarios.
• 🎖️ Job Ranks System
  Jobs like Paramedic, Firefighter, and Sheriff will now feature rank progression. Your rank determines which vehicles, equipment, and weapons you have access to—and your uniform will automatically reflect your status, showing rank details on your shirt or collar.

📝 Final Thoughts

There’s honestly a lot more coming in this update, but it's been such a long development cycle that I’d need to sit down for a few hours just to compile everything that’s changed. Rest assured, a full and detailed changelog will be published alongside the update when it’s released.

Thank you all for your patience and continued support. This project is growing into something really special, and I can’t wait for you to experience what’s next.

Stay tuned—New Citizen is about to level up.
