Foliage System Update

[h2]Hey everyone! [/h2]
This time, we want to showcase a small foliage diorama that highlights the progress we have made on our vegetation system. It offers a closer look at how different types of plants shape the environment and bring more life into the world of Car Rental Simulator.

In this scene, you can see various foliage elements working together. From small ground plants to larger greenery. All of them are designed to blend naturally with their surroundings. These details help locations feel more organic, more vibrant, and more believable.





As the system continues to evolve, environments across the game are becoming greener and more detailed. Each location feels more distinct and alive.



Let us know what you think about this direction. We would love to hear your feedback.



PS. Don’t forget to add the free slice of Car Rental Simulator: Prologue - Early Days to your wishlist.

New Character Animations

[h2]Hey everyone! [/h2]
We’ve been working on a new set of character animations to make the world of Car Rental Simulator feel more natural and immersive. Our goal is to ensure that NPCs don’t just move around the space, but clearly react to what’s happening around them.

These updated animations help provide better visual feedback for player actions, from browsing cars and waiting to reacting to offers and interacting with the environment. Subtle changes in posture, timing, and movement help the characters feel more grounded and believable.

We’re also focusing on making animations better reflect the mood and intent of each character, so their behavior is easier to read at a glance and feels more connected to their decisions.

Below you can see a few GIFs showcasing the latest versions of these animations. Let us know what you think - your feedback helps us refine the overall feel of the game.

Christmas Greetings from the Dev Team

[h2]🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄[/h2]

This year has been a really important one for us - full of learning, building, and slowly shaping the game into what we believe it can become. A lot of quiet work, a lot of care, and plenty of passion put into every part of the project.

Now we’re taking a short break, recharging our batteries, and getting ready to jump back in with fresh energy in the new year. We have a clear goal ahead, and we’re fully focused on delivering a great game - one that we hope you’ll enjoy playing just as much as we enjoy making it.

For now, we just want to say thank you and wish you calm, cozy holidays, good food, good vibes, and some well-earned rest. See you very soon - we’ve got a lot more to show 😎



Cheers!
Dev Team

Keep It Clean!

[h2]Hey everyone! 👋[/h2]
In this devlog, hold on tight so you don’t get sucked in! 😅

Today, we’re showing something every rental business owner knows well – cleaning the interior of a car. A clean vehicle makes a strong first impression and plays a big role in maintaining customer satisfaction.



We’re currently working on a handheld vacuum system that lets you remove dirt, crumbs, and all kinds of mess from inside the vehicle. You’ll be able to tidy up cars before handing them over to clients, giving each interior a fresh and well-kept look. We’re also working on different visual variations of crumbs and debris, so we can better represent the variety of messes that can appear inside a car. Dirt will show up across the entire interior, but here’s a quick look at how it currently appears in the trunk.



It’s still a work in progress, but this system is becoming an essential part of the everyday workflow in your rental business.



PS. While waiting for more updates, check out what’s new in Winston Springs. Tomorrow in Car Dealer Simulator, we’re adding a new car model!
