🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

[h3]Used Cars Simulator is a part of the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Fest![/h3]



And we have a small demo update:

1. We have made some improvements to the feeling of driving. Let us know what you think about it! ːsteamhappyː
   
2. We added a new option to Settings which is a possible solution to the black screen (some players had the problem that after starting the game they only saw the UI but nothing else).
   

So if you have a black screen, please, start a new game.

Then go to the Settings -> Graphic -> AE
Switch it to "OFF" and Apply.

Like here:



Let us know if that helped!

You may also have some other questions ːsteamhappyː

What's in the short demo? The demo's content is the same as it was before. We are heavily focused on creating the Early Access version of the game. We want to release it this year.

Creating an entirely new demo would delay this. And we don't want that ːsteamhappyː

We're looking forward to your feedback!

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It’s time for the next Weekly Update! As usual, in a few points, we'll present to you what we've been working on this week in Used Cars Simulator 😀

1. Scrapyard- improvements

We are improving the scrapyard, adding a lot of new elements to make the location look more interesting.

BEFORE


AFTER


2. Police - speed

We have worked on adjusting the speed of the police car during a chase in relation to the player's car. It's important that it’s not too easy to escape the police – so you'll feel the consequences of your illegal actions ːsteamhappyː



3. Skill Tree

We are continuously expanding the Skill Tree with new abilities that will help you complete various tasks in the game. Here you can see an example of the Handyman branch – if you spend your Skill Points wisely, you'll be able to paint cars more precisely.



4. Offer from a buyer - notification

We've also added a notification to let you know when a buyer is interested in your car sale offer. This way, you'll find out quickly, even while driving.



5. Outline - next parts

We are still working on adding outlines to individual car parts. This will be helpful during repairs, especially for small parts like light bulbs.



6. Mechanic

We are adding a mechanic and his workshop to the game – you'll be able to have your car repaired there. Although, it's not working quite as well as we’d like at the moment... ːsteamhappyː

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It's time to announce the voting results!

You've chosen!

His name will be...

[h3]Vlad![/h3]

This handsome guy will play a significant role at the very beginning of the game. We can say that he knows Mercedes (do you remember her? 😉).



The battle lasted until the very end 😉 Thank you for all the suggestions 🙂 💪

Let us know if you were expecting such a result 😉

Join our Discord - we will have more such votes soon! ːsteamhappyː

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It’s time for the next Weekly Update! As usual, in a few points, we'll present to you what we've been working on this week in Used Cars Simulator 😀

1. Scrapyard

We are adding a scrapyard where you'll be able to trade scrap – one of our most valuable resources. You can buy it when you need to hammer out a car. You can also sell it if you've found too much and need money.



2. Hardware shop

We are adding a hardware shop, where you'll be able to buy essential tools – like angle grinders, shovels, or metal detectors.



3. GPS

We’re still working on the GPS. We've now added improvements that allow for calculating the shortest route to a specific point. The map also refreshes regularly to check if you've gone off course and if the route needs to be recalculated.



4. Outline - Slots

We’re continuously working on the outline for specific car parts. Now, you’ll be able to see which slots for a particular part are already occupied. For example, you can see with the nitro bottles which slots are still free to install them there.



5. Missing Car Parts

We’ve added information to the car blueprint showing which parts are missing in a given vehicle. This will make it clearer which parts you need to order.



6. Brand - Colors

We’ve changed the way colors are selected in the brand editor. Previously, there were tiles with specific colors; now there will be sliders.

BEFORE

AFTER


7. Police - NPC

We recently mentioned that hitting a police officer with a baseball bat would result in immediate arrest. We’ve received feedback from you that this solution isn’t appealing, so we’re changing it ;) However, there will still be consequences – the police will chase you.



8. NPC - name

Voting is still open for this handsome guy's name ;) We're waiting for your votes until the end of the week! You can vote here: https://forms.gle/JzF2sA67ykvL44476
