Car Pickup & QoL Update

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
We would like to wish you all the best this holiday season, with plenty of joy, peace, and successful deals. Thank you for your support since launch and for being so active on Steam and Discord. We are truly grateful for that!

To celebrate the holidays, we prepared a new patch that includes two main elements: a brand-new employee feature and a Quality of Life package.

[h3]Vehicle Pickup by Employee[/h3]
After upgrading your office to level 4 and purchasing a transporter, the reception employee gains a new task: vehicle pickup. To send the employee to collect vehicles, simply select the new task in the dialogue window. In the same window, you can also choose from how many vehicles selected on the pickup UI the employee should start the task.



A new parking zone appears behind the building. You need to park an empty transporter in this zone and then interact with the panel located next to it. The panel UI displays a map and a list of vehicles you own. Vehicles already parked on your lot have been excluded from the map to keep the list clear and readable. We also added a set of filters to help you quickly find specific vehicles.



Select the cars you want the employee to transport to your lot. Only vehicles you already own will appear on the list. This decision is tied to the negotiation system. First, you should arrange meetings in the city, inspect the vehicles, purchase them if they meet your expectations, return to the office, and then send the employee to pick them up. The list also includes a repeated slider that defines from how many vehicles the employee should start the task.



Collecting vehicles takes 30 seconds per car. You can interrupt the task at any time using the UI. The employee will return to your lot with however many vehicles were collected up to that point. Since the employee physically drives out of the lot, make sure the path is clear and that nothing blocks the parking zone. HUD notifications will inform you if any issues occur.



[h3]QoL[/h3]
  • We added vehicle sale price information to the office vehicle display list.
  • Additional lighting has been installed on your lot to make nighttime work easier at office level 4.
  • Customers placing orders via email will now clearly indicate which conditions were not met if a vehicle does not meet their expectations.
  • In shops, items from the shopping list now display the number of units on the list in addition to the icon.
  • Sales negotiations now include information about the vehicle’s purchase price, market value, and listing price. The difference between the current negotiated price and these values is also displayed.


Additionally, we improved the visuals of the Ascend and Ascend L vehicles, specifically the steering wheel movement inside the car.

First Look at Vehicle Customization

[h2]Hello Car Dealers!
[/h2]
In today’s devlog, we want to share our progress on the upcoming Up 2 You DLC.

One of the new features will be vehicle customization.
Below you can see a few GIFs showing what will be possible.





You will be able to swap, among others:
  • bumpers
  • hoods
  • spoilers
  • side skirts
  • rims






For now, we are revealing only the parts that affect the vehicle’s exterior shape. This is not all, though.
