Car Dealer Simulator: Prologue - Early Days News

[h2]Hey, Car Dealers![/h2]

In just 21 days, we’ll be releasing the Car Dealer Simulator demo into your hands. The countdown begins! ⏳🚗

[h3]What can you expect in the demo?[/h3]

• More cars and open-ended gameplay - no more strict limitations, you decide how to grow your business!
  
• New upgrades and mechanics - more ways to repair and increase the value of cars.
  
• A brand-new day with tasks - even more challenges and opportunities to make money.
  
• Reworked systems from the prologue - we’ve improved the repair view, save system, and quest mechanics for a smoother experience.
  
• Random events with competitors - watch out for other dealers, you’re not the only one hunting for the best deals!
  

Today, we want to introduce a new character you’ll meet in the upcoming demo. Meet Officer Ron Dunn - an experienced lawman who usually patrols Greywood County but occasionally visits the town of Winston Springs to support local operations.



Ron is tied to a new mechanic that can be a lifesaver in the free-play mode of the demo. If you ever run out of money to buy new cars, Ron will have a valuable tip for you. Thanks to his experience and uncanny luck in finding abandoned vehicles, he’ll share information about their locations. All you have to do is go there, pick up the car, restore it, and sell it - allowing you to get back into business! Stay alert and check your email inbox.

What do you think about this new mechanic? Let us know in the comments!

See you on the lot!

[h2]Hello, Car Dealers![/h2]

Not everyone plays fair, and the competition can be... creative in their actions. We've introduced a new feature to the game - sabotage from competitors!

[h3]Dirty Play[/h3]
From time to time, you might encounter sabotage from your competitors. Someone might decide to make your life harder by throwing exploding bags filled with dust at your cars!



[h3]Consequences?[/h3]
Dirty cars look less attractive to customers, which means you might have trouble making a sale! You'll need to react quickly - either clean the car or find a way to discourage saboteurs from continuing their attacks.

[h3]More Events Like This![/h3]
Competitor sabotage is just one of many random events that will add realism and dynamism to your journey as a Car Dealer. You can expect even more surprises - both positive and negative!

What do you think is the best way to deal with unfair competition? Let us know in the comments! 🚗🔥

See you on the lot!

[h2]Hello, Car Dealers![/h2]

In today’s devlog, we’d like to share the progress we’ve made in improving systems you may have already seen in the prologue. Analyzing your gameplay and reading reviews on Steam, we noticed that some aspects of the repair system were problematic or not clearly explained enough. That's why we've introduced a few improvements!

[h3]1. Highlighting parts that need work 🔧[/h3]
We’ve added subtle highlighting for task-related elements and parts diagnosed as damaged.



📌 Additionally:

When you hover the mouse over elements, the highlight changes color:
✅ Green - elements you can start repairing.
❌ Red - elements that are not available.



[h3]2. Smoother camera movement in orbit mode 🎥[/h3]
We’ve improved the responsiveness and smoothness of camera movement, making mouse control more intuitive and precise.



[h3]3. “Focus” mode - better zooming and isolating parts 🔍[/h3]
By clicking on a part, the camera will automatically switch to “focus” mode. We've also improved zooming and added a graying-out effect for elements that are not currently important. This allows you to focus on a single part without unnecessary distractions.



💬 Let us know what you think of these changes!

[h2]Hey, Car Dealers! 🚗💨[/h2]

In today’s devlog, we’re sharing some new details about the demo’s progression. Based on your comments about the prologue, we noticed that many of you felt the gameplay was too short and lacked variety. We decided to change that!

Starting from day two of the demo, new mechanics will be introduced to enrich your experience. On day three, after completing all the quests, we’ll open up the full gameplay loop - you’ll be able to buy, repair, and sell cars without restrictions, using the mechanics you’ve unlocked throughout the demo.



We want the demo to reflect the spirit of the game and give you more freedom to run your own business. We’re excited to hear your thoughts!
