Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #12

🚗 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. Bus stop

We're adding bus stops that will allow for quick travel to selected points on the map. However, you need to keep in mind that a ticket will cost money - so if you want to get somewhere really fast, you'll have to pay. The only place where we plan to keep transportation free is the Gas Station. There, among other things, you'll be able to pick up some extra work to earn money if you lose everything.



2. 3D blueprint and car inspection - improvements

We are continuously improving our 3D car blueprint. We're making sure it's as clear as possible, so the player can easily understand which car and which part they are working on at any given moment. This also applies to car inspections - checking the condition of each part. When you hover over a part of the car, it will also highlight the 3D blueprint. You'll also see status bars indicating the condition of that part.



3. New NPC - hardware store seller

We're adding more new NPCs. This time, it's the hardware store seller. You'll be able to buy essential tools there (angle grinders, shovels, metal detectors).



4. UsedBay - filtering

UsedBay will be a very important tool for you. This is where you'll order used parts for your cars. We're adding additional filtering based on the cars you own, which will make it easier to search for specific parts in the store.



5. Terrain improvement

We're continuously refining the details of the terrain to ensure that exploring the open world and its various locations remains engaging. Here's an example from the area around our Saint City.



6. Small demo update - car handling

This week, the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Fest started on Steam, and we're a part of it! ːsteamhappyː To celebrate, we made a small update to the demo. The content remains the same, but we've improved the car handling and provided a potential fix for the black screen issue that was occurring.



Let us know:

    Is the 3D car blueprint clear to you?
    What do you think about the bus stops and the idea of having free rides to one of them (to the Gas Station)?
    Which feature would you like to learn more about?

Used Cars Simulator - Demo Update

🚗 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!

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #11

🚗 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



[h3]Which feature do you like the most? [/h3]

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It's time to announce the voting results!

You've chosen!

His name will be...

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 😉
