Used Cars Simulator - Weekly Update#21

🚗 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. Toilets

In Used Cars Simulator, you'll need to take care of your character's stats. One of these is the bladder level. Toilets will come in handy for meeting this need ;) We've placed them at various points on the map so you can easily find them in different locations.



2. Character Parameters - Notifications

We’re adding notifications about your character's stats so you'll know when it’s time to head to the bathroom, grab something to eat, or get some sleep.

If you ignore these needs, there will be consequences. For example, if you don't go to bed and fall asleep somewhere on the street - you might get robbed

Or if you don’t make it to the toilet in time, you’ll wet your pants (this will increase your Criminality level).

3. Negotiations

We’re improving the negotiation system. Sellers will offer you a price, but you can try to negotiate it. If you take the time to approach the car and carefully inspect the individual parts, you will have a better understanding of the car's condition - and this will allow you to lower the price.

We want the negotiations to feel realistic and keep them within fair limits. However, if you push too hard and repeatedly offer too low a price, the seller may get offended and refuse to talk to you anymore.



4. Prices

We’re also improving a calculating prices system. The cost of a car will depend on its parts and their condition (the condition includes dents, dirt, and fresh paint coverage).

If you don’t have much money, you’ll only be able to afford a cheap car, which might be dirty or damaged. But you can always fix it later and earn more money! 😀



5. Settings

We’re adding more options to Settings and making sure you can adjust them freely. For example, if you set everything to Low, the other settings will automatically switch to Low as well. But if you want to customize specific settings differently, you’ll be able to change them easily, too.



6. Optimization

We’re still working on optimization - it’s a complex process. Our goal is to make sure the game isn’t too demanding on computers while also running smoothly. We’re testing various materials, terrains, and textures to see how they affect memory usage and FPS, and finding ways to improve performance wherever possible.
