Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #31

🚗 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. Player's Base Upgrade

We’re still working on upgrading the player's base.



2. Player’s Stats - Consequences

We’re adding more elements related to taking care of the player’s stats and endurance. As we mentioned, you might get robbed if you don’t sleep and collapse from exhaustion. If you don’t go to the toilet in time, you’ll wet your pants. And if you fall into the water and can’t get out, you might die. But don’t worry, you’ll respawn in the hospital ;) Though... it might cost you a lot of money for treatment... 😀



3. Interactive Objects

We're adding more interactive objects that you can use in the game. And throw them at different things... 😀



4. Car Handling - Improvements

We're also working on car handling. Just a reminder - we have 3 different driving modes that you can switch between while driving (this option is also available in the demo). We're adjusting them for each car in the game.



5. Localization

We're also working on translating the in-game texts into different languages.



6. UsedBay - Improvements

We're adding improvements to UsedBay. Sometimes, certain car parts may be available at the port, so you'll need to drive there to pick them up. In the shop's UI, you'll see that the delivery is marked for the port - it’s highlighted in blue to make it more noticeable.



7. Save/Load

We're also working on the save/load - to make sure all the important elements and your progress in the game are properly saved and loaded.

8. Bug Fixing & Optimization & Tests

We’re still working on testing, fixing bugs, and optimizing the game. 😉

Let us know:

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #30

🚗 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. Police Chase Improvements

We're improving the police chase. We're balancing the police’s speed and distance - so that stealing cars isn't too easy to make money. 😉



2. Base Upgrade

We've started working on preparing a player-base upgrade.



3. Leaderboard

We're adding a leaderboard to the game. This will allow you to compare various in-game stats (like jumps or drifts) with other players on Steam.



4. Spray and Powerwash Upgrade

We're adding upgrade options for powerwash and spray. If you purchase them, you'll be able to use different nozzles for washing your car or, for example, save the colors you use while painting your car.



5. Map Improvements

We're adding more improvements to the map! You'll not only see buyers, sellers, and key city locations (like the hospital) but also places where you can take a nap or use the toilet - helping you manage your character's vital needs.



6. Refueling the Car

We've made improvements to the car refueling system. You'll get a notification when your fuel level is low. That's the perfect time to refuel - because otherwise, you won't drive fast or get far. But remember, you’ll need to pay for it.



7. Bug Fixing & Optimization & Tests

We’re still working on testing, fixing bugs, and optimizing the game. 😉

Let us know:

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #29

🚗 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. Car For Sale Screen - Improvements

We have improved the Cars For Sale screen. You will be able to see cars that are available for purchase. You can check what kind of car it is, how far it is from the player's location, its market price, and the price at which it is listed. This will help you decide where to go for a car and which offer will be the most profitable for the player.



2. Lockpick - Improvements

We’ve also upgraded the lockpicks. You’ll be able to use them to break into cars (though you’ll need to get the lockpicks first 😉 ). It will now be easier to see whether your attempt was successful or not – green and red colors will guide you.



3. Autosave

We’ve also added an autosave feature to the game. For now, it activates when the player goes to sleep. There’s also a dedicated notification for it.



4. Tow Truck - Improvements

We’ve also improved tow truck driving to make it easier to drive uphill.



5. Traffic - Improvements

We’ve also worked on traffic - the cars you’ll encounter on the road.



6. World Improvements

We’re continuously improving the appearance of our world – here you can see the progress in Saint City (which will include the police station and hospital, among other things).



7. Car Repairing - Improvements

We’re also adding improvements to car repairs. Here, you can see an attempt to install a new window – however, the frame of the part where the window belongs is damaged. It needs to be fixed first before the window can be installed.



8. Bug Fixing & Optimization

We are continuously working on testing, fixing bugs, and optimizing the game. 😉

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #28

🚗 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. Interactive Items and Physics

We are working on adding a significant number of interactive elements, as well as improving the physics. We know that these features bring you a lot of satisfaction, and we know you're looking forward to them! 😉



2. Handbrake

We’ve worked on the handbrake - it can now be activated with the appropriate button and will also help keep your car from rolling down slopes. 😉



3. Metal Detector - Improvements

We have added a new UI to the metal detector, which will make it easier to understand how to use it while searching for scrap.



4. Terrain Improvements

We are continuously improving the terrain in our game. Here, you can see further progress.



And here you can see how we are improving the placement of buildings in the city.


5. Confiscating Your Car

In the game, you’ll be able to steal cars. However, the police might catch you! 😉 As a consequence, your car will be confiscated - and we’re working on it right now.



6. Car Value Screen - Improvements

We’ve also improved the car value screen. You’ll now be able to see the condition of your car and learn what you can do to increase its value - and how much you could earn. Additionally, you’ll see which parts you are missing.



7. Car Names - Results!

We’ve announced the voting results on car model names and showcased all the vehicles available in Early Access. You can check them out here:

Each car will have a unique interior, and you'll also be able to install nitro bottles on all of them (except for the tow truck ːsteamhappyː ).


In each car, you'll be able to adjust the handling to suit your preferences.


And we're testing each of these cars in various conditions... ːsteamhappyː
