UPDATE #8 is almost entirely dedicated to fixing bugs and inaccuracies that appeared with update #7. Thanks everyone for the bug report!
To make this update feel less empty, I've added as many as 10 new music tapes (CC0 and CC-BY licensed) from various artists. Information for streamers: please note that not all music is suitable for streams and let's plays, but you can now check the license for the [M] button while holding the cassette in your hands.

Hello Drivers! ːsteamhappyː


Note: The update doesn't include any Christmas events, I just didn't have time to do them. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone! ːlunar2019piginablanketː

Update #7 introduces a new world generation system - World Generator 3.0, which I have been working on for the last six months. World Generator 3.0 includes larger locations, intersections with a choice of paths, detours, underground locations. With the new generation system, I will now have more opportunities to create new biomes, roads and POIs.
In addition to the fact that new POIs were added, the old ones were also completely updated - they became more detailed. Some of the previous POIs have been combined into one location, and some have been removed (some of them will be returned to the game in future updates).
The graphics were updated - they became brighter and juicier (the sun is hot!), various graphic effects were added and the lighting was updated. But the night has become even more “unsuitable”; it will be redesigned in the next updates. Get ready for the dark (car headlights are already fixed and shining correctly)
The save system has been redesigned - bugs with duplication/disappearance of items should no longer be a problem. It took several weeks to get the saves from the old version to work. But it was worth it, you don't have to worry about your progress. But please note that when loading an old save, you will start the game in the starting location, this is due to the new world generation system - the old locations simply no longer exist. Still, due to the previous item duplication bug, I recommend starting a new game for proper balance. But the choice is of course yours.
The assortment of stores has been changed. Now they sell only the essentials; everything else can be found only by exploring the locations. Some prices were also balanced (engine repairs are not so cheap now hehe).


- Global changes in post-processing with many new effects
- Global lighting change. Including godrays
- Global changes to the save system
- Most objects have become "textured"
- Changed the color of the sand - now it doesn’t look like dirt

- Halloween is over. The witch has disappeared, the pumpkins have expired, the moon has turned pale
- (But everyone liked the blood moon so much that in the next updates I will add it as a random event)

- The system for generating and loading locations has been completely changed
- Added road intersections with a choice of further path - now the world is not just a long road ahead
- Added more than 90 kilometers of new roads
- Locations can now also be UNDER THE SAND (bunkers are back!)
- Complete remaster of all roads
- Added new points of interest for all biomes
- Remaster of old places of interest - they have become larger, more diverse and more interactive
- Locations have become ~3 times larger
- More than three hundred new objects for locations and points of interest
- Added many interactive objects - doors, cabinets, bedside tables, drawers, boxes, etc.
- Changed the transition between locations

- Added new types of roads (for example, filled-up highways)

- Changed the boundaries of locations - now it’s not a bare plane
- New asphalt textures
- Fixed asphalt loading
- Asphalt no longer casts a shadow
- Fixed object collisions

Hello, Drivers! ːsteamhappyː

Update 6 is here!
You have long asked for the ability to transfuse liquids - and I did it!) Now organizing space in the trunk will become even easier. Barrels for all three types of liquids have also been added - they hold a lot of liquids, but also take up a lot of space in the trunk. A lot of work was also done with the glass.

UPDATE 5 is now available!
Finally, cars will gain more individuality - they can now be painted! The paint does not overlap, but mixes - you can truly invent your own color.
