Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update #17

🚗 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. Map Update

We’re continuously making improvements to the environments and locations, so it's time for a map update. This map is essential for our GPS system, allowing you to navigate throughout our world easily.

Keep in mind, though, that the entire map won’t be available right away. Here, you can see a 3D view with different sections marked — what you’re already familiar with from the demo, what will be included in Early Access, and what we’re planning for future updates.

 2. Car Handling

 We’re still working on car handling, and adjusting the different driving modes for all the cars in the game. We decided to add these modes to the tow truck as well - because who knows, maybe someone will want to drift with a tow truck, too 

 3. NPCs - Improvements 

 We’re not only adding new NPCs to the game but also paying attention to the details. That’s why we’re giving them various outfits, accessories, and extras like glasses, jewelry, and tattoos.

4. New NPCs

Speaking of new NPCs - we’re adding store employees to a shop where you’ll be able to buy electronic devices (like phones). They are here just temporarily. Their real shop is going to be shown in the next dev log. Do you recognize this outfit from somewhere?   

 5. Cars For Sale - Improvements

We’ve also prepared a screen where you can see the available cars for sale. You’ll be able to see how far each car is from the player’s position and compare the market price with the listing price for each car.

6. Terrain Improvements

We’re still refining the areas around Lost Angeles. Here, you can see how they look at the moment.

7. Car Spawn Probability

We've also created a system for spawning cars that you can buy. It will depend on how wealthy you are. This way, you'll see different cars that fit your budget. In short, we're making sure you don’t get frustrated by only seeing cars you can’t afford when you’re low on cash.  

 8. Skill Tree - Improvements

We’re also improving the look of the Skill Tree to make it clearer and easier to navigate.

9. Steam Deck

We’ve also started testing our demo on the Steam Deck – we’ll have more updates for you on this next week! 😀
