Used Cars Simulator News

🚗 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. 3D Blueprint

We're changing the car blueprint that you're already familiar with from the demo. It displays the various car parts and their condition. We're upgrading it from 2D to 3D.



2. Physics

We solved some physics problems that caused, for example, a player to jump very high in the air (although they didn't want that at all 😉 ).



3. UI

We're working on a system to organize the UI properly. As we introduce more mechanics, different windows start to overlap. We're ensuring that the most important information is visible to you at any moment. To avoid something like this ːsteamhappyː



4. Stunt Jumps

We know that you'll want to do more than just drive cars—you'll want to jump them too ːsteamhappyː We're going to place ramps in certain spots to make that possible.

The first step is working on the car responding well to the jump.



The second is to work on camera movement and slo-mo effect for better immersion.



5. NPC - Mechanics

We're working on mechanics. These will be characters that allow you to automate certain tasks (like car repairs). You'll be able to do it yourself or pay someone to do it for you ;) Here’s the work on the uniform:

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

We need your help 😄

[h3]We're looking for a name for this lady 🙂[/h3]

She will play a significant role at the very beginning of the game. She will also have a special task for you... 😉



The suggestions were sent by our players. We chose 10 of them - now you decide which should win ːsteamhappyː

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. Dirt improvements

We've been working on improving the appearance of dirt on cars, ensuring it's visible well in different car colors.



2. Tool - Camera

We've added a camera that can be used to take photos for car sale listings (and some other pictures too ːsteamhappyː ).



3. Market - Buying Food

We're continuing to develop the market - we've already added the option to buy food (for now, we have beer and chicken available).



4. NPCs - Further Work

We're also making progress on NPCs. We're adding more character types, including older people.



We're also working on details like shoes and shirts.



5. Skill Tree - Further Work

We're still working on the Skill Tree - setting up the hierarchy and adding new skills.



6. Black Screen Issue

We're also trying to fix the black screen issue that occurs in the demo. If any of you have experienced a visible UI but nothing else in the game, please let us know! The more information we gather, the easier it will be to fix it 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. Refueling the Car

We are working on the fuel mechanics. Fuel will decrease while driving. You will receive two different notifications - that the fuel is running low and when it has completely run out. If you don't refuel in time, the car will stop.



When refueling, you will also see your money decrease (fuel costs, that's life ːsteamhappyː ).



2. Exiting the Car

We have spent a lot of time testing the car exit mechanics. We ensured that the player doesn't jump out or get stuck, for example, if you park too close to a wall. Here, you can see how we tested various options.



3. Scrap

We have been working on placing scrap in various locations on the map. It is one of the most valuable resources in the game - essential for repairing the car. You will be able to buy it at the scrapyard, but you can also find it yourself using a metal detector and a shovel.



4. Underwater Visuals

The game will take place on an island, so there will be plenty of access to water. We wanted to ensure that the underwater view looks good too (in case someone wants to test if their car can function as a submarine ːsteamhappyː ).



5. Skills - Categories

We are working hard on the Skill Tree. We are introducing skill categories that will allow the player to decide in which direction they want to develop their character.



6. 3D Car Plan

We have also started working on a 3D blueprint for car models. This will allow you to view different car parts more easily and check their condition. Each part will be properly highlighted. For now, we have begun creating the system for this blueprint - you can see how it looks in the initial stages.



7. NPC - details

We are also continuously improving our NPCs. This week, we paid a lot of attention to details - like adding a red dress and improving hair (because previously, all men had receding hairlines ːsteamhappyː ).

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 have started working on the scrapyard. It will be a place where you can buy (or sell) scrap - one of the most valuable resources in our game. You will need it for fixing up cars.



2. Police chase

We are continually refining the police chase system. This week, we worked on making the police car visible from a specified distance from the player and ensuring the police started chasing the player after ignoring police control.



3. Restricted area

Lost Angeles (the name of the abandoned city, which was chosen by our players) is a place where you can not enter. There will be signs and placards informing you about this. However, if you decide to enter there anyway - you must be careful and unnoticed because there will be a police car. If you come close to it - the police chase will begin.



4. Indicators - improvements

We are also improving the intelligent indicators system. We've ensured that it directs you to the nearest buyer interested in your car. It will be very useful when there are many offers available.



5. Quests

We are working on building the storyline for our game, which will give you your first tasks and quests to complete. We are making sure that the game teaches you the most important mechanics right from the start and that navigating the game for the first time is very intuitive.
