Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #24

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It’s time for the next Weekly Update! As always, in a few points, we’re presenting to you what we've been working on this week in Used Cars Simulator 😀 Just a reminder – we’re showing what we're working on in the whole project. These are NOT the updates to the demo – it's the same as before 😀

1. Beds

In Used Cars Simulator, you'll take care of the player's stats. For example, you'll need to check how tired they are. That's why we added beds in a few places, so you can rest there.

2. Car Interior

We're still working on car interiors. We're improving their gauges, panels, and overall design.

3. Optimization

We're still working on optimizing the game. We're creating various settings presets to ensure it can run smoothly even on less powerful computers - though with lower-quality graphics. As part of the optimization, we're focusing on collisions to make sure they don't cause excessive spikes in resource usage.

4. Bug Fixing

We're identifying and fixing bugs in the game. Some of them can be quite funny 😀 but they can't block the player or ruin the gameplay. That's why we're working hard to find and eliminate them.

5. Terrain Improvements

We're also improving the look of various locations. Here you can see a work-in-progress shot of the desert. After all, a desert doesn't have to be completely empty 😀

6. Demo Update

We've also updated the demo to fix the black screen issue. Some players reported that only the UI would appear, with no visible scene. We've fixed this. However, if anyone still has a similar problem, let us know! We'll fix it, but we might need more details to figure it out 😀

Let us know:

[h3]Which of these features do you like the most?

Which of these features would you like to know more about? 😀 [/h3]

Used Cars Simulator - Demo - Black Screen Issue Solved!

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

We’ve just released an update for the demo that fixes the black screen issue.

Some of you reported a problem where, after launching the game, only the UI was visible, but the game scene itself didn’t appear (though the menu worked fine).

It looked like this:

But now, after fixing the problem, it looks like this (so like it should be from the very beginning ːsteamhappyː ) :

This issue wasn’t easy to track, as it only happened on specific hardware setups. We won’t dive into technical details here ːsteamhappyː

But we want to give a huge thanks to the players who reported this issue and helped us test different solutions. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Just a reminder that the content of the demo remains the same as before. However, players who couldn’t play due to the black screen issue can now finally join the fun! ːsteamhappyː

We are heavily focused on creating the Early Access version of the game. Creating an entirely new demo would delay this. And we don't want that ːsteamhappyː

We're looking forward to your feedback!

P.S. If you're still having this problem, join our Discord, and we'll fix it together!

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #23

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It’s time for the next Weekly Update! As always, in a few points, we’re presenting to you what we've been working on this week in Used Cars Simulator 😀 Just a reminder – we’re showing what we're working on in the whole project. These are NOT the updates to the demo – it's the same as before 😀

1. Optimization

One of our most important tasks now is optimization. This is a long and complex process. We are checking how we can improve the game to run smoothly on various PCs.

2. Bug Fixing

Adding and expanding new features also comes with the creation of... bugs ;) We are doing our best to identify and fix them. For example, this police car shouldn’t have flipped over here… ːsteamhappyː

3. Car Interior

We’re also working on the interiors of more vehicles. As we mentioned recently, we’re refining panels and gauges so that the needles respond properly to your speed.

4. Terrain Improvements

We’re still working on how the terrain looks. Lately, we’ve been focusing on the area around the lake camp. It’s going to be an important place connected to some illegal activities… 😀

5. Skill Tree - Improvements

We’re also improving the look of the Skill Tree - making it easy to navigate while clearly showing what each skill gives you. To achieve this, we’ve created a new, improved, and more user-friendly UI.

6. Economy - Balance

We’re also balancing the economy to make earning money through trading cars neither too easy nor too hard.

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #22

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

It’s time for the next Weekly Update! As always, in a few points, we’re presenting to you what we've been working on this week in Used Cars Simulator 😀 Just a reminder – we’re showing what we're working on in the whole project. These are NOT the updates to the demo – it's the same as before 😀

1. Engines

We’re working on car engines. You will be able to repair and replace them. You’ll also see when your engine needs repair.
Here, you can see when it’s overheated. However, it cools down over time when you’re not driving the car.

Here, on the other hand, you can see that if you place a broken engine into another car - it will still be broken. So you need to repair it first 😀

2. Car Interior

We’re adding improvements to car interiors. We’re working on panels and gauges so that the needles respond properly to your speed. Additionally, we’re ensuring that the entire panel reacts to collisions.

3. Terrain Improvements

We’re still improving the terrain to make driving and discovering new locations immersive and engaging for you. Here, you can see a camp in the lake area.

4. Prices - Improvements

We’re also improving car price calculations. As you probably know, license plates will play an important role in the game (let’s recap: we have three types - Legal, Almost Legal, and Stolen). Whether a car has a license plate (and what type it is) will also affect its value.

5. Inventory

We’re improving the Inventory system by adding more tabs. We’ve added a “Miscellaneous” tab so you’ll have a place to store lockpicks. You never know when you might need to break into a car. 😀

6. Optimization

We are heavily focused on game optimization - testing various solutions and settings and running the game on different hardware configurations.
