In today's devlog, we want to tell you a bit more about a new feature you'll be seeing soon in the game.
Yesterday's entry gave you a sneak peek of the parts ordering app, and today we're introducing the delivery system.

Unlike the in-person store, the online parts shop is open 24/7 and offers express delivery.
The cost of such an order is $500, so it’s a good idea to plan your purchases carefully to avoid overspending 🙂

Once you place an order, a courier heads your way.
They’ll stop in front of your workshop and wait for you to collect your packages.
All you have to do is interact with the boxes - this will activate the carrying mode, which you might already know from moving the radio or the ladder.



You can:

• place the package anywhere in your workshop,
  
• unpack items directly into your inventory,
  
• or unpack directly into your storage.
  

To unpack directly into storage, enter the storage room while holding the package and press the same button used to transfer items to your inventory.
The difference is that, while in the storage area, the UI will automatically detect the context and switch to unpacking into storage.

Another hotfix for Car Dealer Simulator is now available!

[h3]Patch notes:[/h3]

• Changed the way dates are displayed in the mail app – this applies only to new messages, existing ones will keep the old format
  
• Fixed a bug where junkyard-related emails did not show the date of receipt
  
• Fixed minor display issues with road rendering
  
• Fixed an issue where the fuel cap on the Cavallaro 280g model was misaligned in repair/wash zones
  
• Fixed a bug that caused banking app transactions to duplicate during autosaves
  
• Restored proper functioning of photos in the classifieds app
  
• Fixed a bug with junkyard pins on the minimap – after loading a save, they now correctly display as junk pins instead of owned vehicle markers

Additionally, today we want to reveal the first details of the upcoming online store update.

As we mentioned earlier, we’re working on adding the ability to purchase car parts via the in-game computer app. You’ll be able to buy new car parts with delivery to your yard. In one of the previous devlogs, we showed you where to find the Car Part Mart app icon on the screen, and today we’re showing how the app looks when opened.



The app includes resource filtering and a clear, user-friendly shopping cart. Choose your products carefully - each delivery comes with a transport fee.

We’ve just released another batch of fixes, and below we’re also revealing a new surprise.

[h3]Patch notes:[/h3]

• Fixed a bug where the inventory wouldn’t close with the ESC key

In today’s devlog, we want to share what we’re working on. The update is planned for release in a few days.

So far, car repair parts could be bought in the parts store, and fuses at the gas station.

In the next update, we plan to add an online shop with deliveries directly to your garage.



Today we’re only revealing the app on the computer, but in upcoming devlogs we will show more details.

PS. Have you checked out the update for Cash Cleaner Simulator from our friends at Mind Control Games?

In today’s devlog, we want to tell you a little more about Little Sam’s family.

Yes, we know this guy can be a bit annoying at the beginning of the game. He’s never around when you need him, always off “handling something,” though no one really knows what that is - or if it’s even true 😊. He may seem like he’s got a lot on his plate, but who knows if he’s really that busy or just pretending? Luckily, he’s just your introduction to the game - and if you make enough money, you’ll be able to buy the Car Dealer from him! 😊

But it turns out Little Sam isn’t a lone wolf. He’s got a family that’s also involved in the automotive world.



In Car Rental Simulator, you’ll meet his son, Lazy Luke.

His nickname didn’t come out of nowhere. He’s not exactly the hardworking type - just like his dad 😊 - except that Little Sam at least had a knack for picking good partners.

Lazy Luke is kind of a mess. He’s a slacker with no real business sense. He’d much rather spend money than earn it. Sure, Little Sam gave him a few cars to get his rental business started, but without your help, he doesn’t stand a chance.

Now, completely different is Little Sam’s wife and Lazy Luke’s mother - Clever Emma.

Clever Emma is all about cleanliness and order. After finishing her role as a stay-at-home mom, she decided to start her own business - Car Cleaner. Now that she’s a bit older and more tired, she’ll need your help too.
