Smarter neighborhoods on the Tiles map — and a livelier walking buddy. - Neighborhood names are now far more accurate — no more tiles labeled with a district from a mile away. - Neighborhoods now have real shapes, so "% explored" reflects the area you're actually walking. - New places map themselves: arrive somewhere uncharted and the neighborhood fills in about a minute later — for you and every walker after you. - Your map character now starts and stops walking with your real steps, indoors and out. - Faster, more reliable neighborhood loading.

Tiles mode is cleaner and easier to use: clearer city and neighborhood stats, steadier neighborhood colors, and a better background tracking prompt. New and improved: - The background tracking banner now stays readable on the map, can be dismissed, and reopens from a small alert button. - Tile replays now keep neighborhood colors in preview and exported videos. - City and neighborhood counts are easier to understand, with less clutter on the map. - Tiles now opens more smoothly with better cache handling and neighborhood boundary updates.

TILES — REVEAL YOUR REAL CITY A whole new way to walk. Your city starts hidden under fog, and every street you walk claims a hexagon on a real map — forever. Explore neighborhoods, complete your city, and climb the new Tile Rankings against friends and explorers worldwide.

A LIVING PATH Other walkers now share your trail. Some pass going the other way, others sprint by from behind, and some stand and watch — each face appears just once a day, then makes way for the next. It's not just you out there anymore. TIME OF DAY, FOR REAL The world now flows through dawn, midday, dusk, and night with smooth transitions instead of a single day/night flip. Lamps cross-fade on as the sun sets. Soft motes drift up from the path during the day; fireflies appear around you at night. Footsteps kick up little dust puffs. The camera gently breathes when you stand still and settles when you start walking. POLISH Sharper character shadow. A soft contact shadow under the character keeps you grounded after sundown. The background subtly cools at night while preserving your chosen theme.
