RV - Dev Log #18
Hey everyone!
Welcome to our latest weekly developer log! In the last instalment, we covered lots of the quality of life updates coming in the next patch, 0.4. You can see the full log #17 here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1290000/announcements/detail/3006697839934586913
Today, we'll be showing off the smallest of the new levels coming in the update as well as some more quality of life changes and, an update on the update.
Last week we said we were aiming for a release during the Steam Summer Sale and had originally been aiming for this week. However, the patch still needs some time in the oven with the extra QOL changes still being tested and we are now aiming to release it next week.
We have been teasing this new vehicle on our Twitter, and community member PixelMonkey called it early!
This RV is colourful but has seen a lot of travel which means a whole host of dirt, rust and more to clean! This is the smallest of the jobs in the next patch, with the Fire Helicopter being in the middle and a massive (yet to be fully revealed) job is coming too! Not to say that the RV won't be a challenge with some intricate details and tougher dirt.
Are you looking forward to cleaning this well-travelled vehicle?
One of the QOL changes coming in the next patch that we didn't show before, is the dirt details highlight.
In the update, you will be able to click all of the parts in the 'details' menu (on your tablet in the job section), which will then highlight that object or part in-game, showing you roughly what's left to clean. This is one of the changes we planned to help with finding the last dirt at 99% to reduce frustration.
We're aware that people do still want a challenge and in some ways enjoy the thrill of hunting the last piece of dirt. With this change, it is optional whether you use it or not, and it doesn't appear through the map or point exactly to the spot of dirt. So you still have to search for the highlighted object and look for the dirt within that space. We hope this is a 'best of both worlds' addition.
