Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #14

🚗 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. Ladders

We’ve been working on adding the ability to climb ladders. This will allow for the exploration of new areas.



2. Fence Jumping

We’re also adding the option to jump over fences - we know that sometimes you want to move quickly without looking for a special exit😀



3. Terrain Improvements

We're continuously working on improving the terrain to make every location interesting and to ensure that exploring the world feels immersive 😀

Here you can see how we're creating another road.



And here, how we're adding changes to the terrain.



4. Car Handling - Modes

We want to add the ability to change the driving mode of cars. We’ve noticed that everyone has their preferences, with some players preferring a more arcade-style and others a more simulation-like experience. The ability to switch between these modes with a button will allow us to cater to a larger group of players 😀



5. Car Deformation - Improvements

We’ve also been working on improving car damage so that the car's body reacts better to different types of damage.



6. Items - Hints

We’re adding hints for items you’re looking at and can pick up. You’ll see basic information – for example, if it’s car parts, you'll know which car they fit. If it's something that can be added to your inventory, you’ll also see its weight, so you’ll know if you can still carry it.



7. New NPCs - Car Mechanics

We’re adding new NPCs. This week, we’ve been working on female mechanics.



8. Used Bay - Improvements

We're continuously working on the Used Bay as well. We’re checking different scenarios (also related to quests you must complete) and adding safeguards to prevent you from getting stuck in the game. For example, if you list a car at a specific price before starting a task where you need to do so, the game will check if you need to update the car’s price after making some improvements to the car.



9. Dynamic Minimap

We’ve added further improvements to the minimap. You’ll notice that it zooms in when you’re moving slowly and zooms out when you speed up.

Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #13

🚗 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. Skill Tree

We are working hard on the entire Skill Tree structure. We know many of you are eagerly waiting for it 😀 You'll be collecting Skill Points through various actions and experiences. You can then spend them on specific skills and develop your character. As you can see, we have several paths (e.g., Muscleman or Genius). Each of these paths will also have different categories for you to choose from (and you can decide, for example, whether as a Handyman you'd prefer to be better at repairing cars or breaking into them 😀 ).



2. License plates

In the game, you can acquire license plates for your car. They won’t always be legal plates... (it's up to you to decide which ones to choose 😀 ). The type of license plate you have on your car will affect whether the police want to arrest you. A car with such a license plate will also be harder to sell - but that decision will be yours. For now, those plates are still up in the air 😀

But we'll be fine-tuning this 😀



3. Engines - changing

We've started working on engine swaps and how they will affect your car. If you choose a more powerful (and likely more expensive) engine, your car will drive faster. You'll also hear a difference in the sound of such an engine.



4. Big map - new icons

We're also improving our big map and GPS. We've added new icons that will make it easier to distinguish between different points on the map (for example, where the car sellers are located and where the supermarket is).



5. Terrain improvement

We're continuously improving the terrain and vegetation. Here you can see how we're focusing, among other things, on enhancing the appearance of the grass.

AFTER


6. Notification - improvements

In the game, you'll receive notifications about important events (e.g., when you're running low on fuel or money). These are meant to remind you and motivate you to take specific actions. We're also adding the option to hide these notifications.



7. Community - name - voting

We also have another poll for one of our characters in the game ;) This time, your task is to choose a name for the hardware store seller. You can vote (until Monday!) right here: LINK-GOOGLE FORM

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?
