Version 1.3.4New in town

A thank-you, and a print for the wall

The Kettleby print: a hand-drawn map of the town, from St Mary’s church to the bus garage, with Maureen at number 11, the Red Lion, Café Rosa and Kettleby station

The Kettleby print

A hand-drawn map of the town for your own wall, not just the one in the game. It’s drawn at print quality, so it’ll look sharp at A4 or bigger. Yours to keep.

  • NewA thank-you from all of us who make Kettle Street: everyone with the full game gets a letter through the door from the team, and a print of Kettleby for the wall.
  • NewThe Kettleby print is a hand-drawn map of the town, from St Mary’s to the bus garage, with Maureen on her step. It’s in your storage at home: hang it up in the Decorator.
  • NewThe end of the free first week now shows what you’ve made of your week and what’s coming up, and it comes on the Monday morning, before the first rent, rather than at midnight.
  • NewThe title card says what the free week is and what the full game costs, in your own currency, and the Today app reminds you as the week runs out.

Version 1.3.2Repairs

Pixel 10s back in the picture

All aboard: Kettleby station is open

  • NewKettleby’s station is open! Coastway Rail trains run from the top of Station Road along the new line to the coast.
  • NewNew job: train driver. Sign on in the crew room at the station (the staff entrance by the car park), then take the three-car train to Saundersby and back: six stations each way, signals to obey, a timetable to keep, and the sea at the end of the line.

Version 1.2.2Repairs

A switch for every room

  • FixedEvery room’s light has its own switch now. Upstairs in a house, or in a flat, switching on a fourth light turned another room’s off.

Version 1.2.1Repairs

Settling in after the move

  • FixedMoving house fixes. Your pet’s cage now goes where you can see it in your new place: it was going in a corner of the front room hidden behind the hall wall. If yours is stuck there, it’s brought out where you can see it.
  • FixedKettlenet’s green cabinet no longer ends up in the road (or round the corner) when you move near a junction. It stays on the pavement, clear of front doors and bus stops.

Version 1.2.0New in town

Moving house

  • NewMove house! Once you’ve a reference, the wages and the deposit, tap Move in on a Hopkins Lettings listing and book Dougie for a day in the coming week.
  • NewThe deposit and first week come out of your savings first, and you can’t move if it would leave you overdrawn.
  • NewOn moving day Dougie and Mrs Hopkins meet you at your new front door with the keys. Your bed’s up when you get in, and everything else is in boxes to unpack.

Version 1.1.9New in town

Fresh gossip

  • FixedYour family and the street chat don’t repeat themselves any more: once something’s been said, it won’t come round again for weeks, and on a long day of playing they’ll go quiet rather than start again.
  • NewLots more to talk about: new questions from Mum, Dad and Liam, more news, more street gossip, and chatter for the time of year.
  • NewStories that carry on over the weeks in the family group: Liam learning to drive, Dad and Keith at the allotment show, Mum’s dance class, Pickle at the vet and Nan getting online.
  • NewYour family hear about what you’ve been up to: a promotion, a new job, a pet, a bike, the pub quiz, wi-fi in the flat, money saved and more.

Version 1.1.6New in town

Bin day

  • NewYour wheelie bin now stands by your front door. On a Wednesday, from dinnertime, walk up to it to wheel it out to the kerb for Thursday’s lorry.
  • NewMaureen reminds the street about the bins on Wednesday evening, and your bed mentions it if you turn in with the bin still in.
  • NewMaureen’s more forgiving about the bins: your first week doesn’t count, and she only gets put out if she’s had to do it three Thursdays running.
  • NewWalking sensitivity for the touch stick: from Very low to High (Settings → Controls). Lower settings turn you round more gently and give you more room for a slow walk.
