Game Update Journal #3

[p][/p][p]November turned out to be incredibly productive: we fixed dozens of bugs, expanded the environment, enhanced both visuals and audio, and focused on optimization. Here’s what we’ve accomplished 👇[/p][p][/p][h2]What We Did in November[/h2]

• [p]Resolved several bugs related to the Folk and the driver’s animation system.[/p]
• [p]Performed a large-scale cleanup of level art and lighting: dozens of issues were fixed, making the city look cleaner and more coherent.[/p]
• [p]Added a new car wash area and storage zone on one of the locations.[/p]
• [p]Introduced a multimedia display inside the Ulgares Groberolf — another step toward interior realism.[/p]
• [p]Integrated DLSS technology, improving anti-aliasing and performance across different configurations.[/p]
• [p]Implemented manual save slots with custom names and improved the system for restoring the car’s position after loading.[/p]
• [p]Refined traffic light logic, lighting systems, and navigation — small details that make the city feel more alive.[/p]
• [p]Enhanced ambient audio: configured multiple ambient zones and recorded soundscapes for key locations (forest, lake, market, bar) at different times of day and in various weather conditions.[/p]

[p] [/p][h2]Performance & Testing[/h2]

[h2]Easter Egg of the Month[/h2][p]We closed 16 weather-related bugs — from small visual glitches to large systemic issues. This month truly felt like a “storm”, and as you’ve already seen, it ultimately led us to postpone the Early Access release to April 2026.[/p][p]On a brighter note — we’re happy to announce the launch of our official English Telegram channel!
