Town Center Closure, Perks, New Benefits and more

It's over, I'm like 90% finished with this part of the game and will be creating a whole new area now *(finally..)*. This process might take a while but I want to perfect this so I'm taking my time here. Anyways, I'm feeling quite good about the state of courier right now, lets hope it stays this way. Enough talk, patch notes time!

Introducing PERKS!!

By playing the game and completing various challenges, you gain permanent perks. You can select one perk for a run when the game starts. Right now there are 5 perks that you can unlock. All perks should be useful and should give you a good head start for synergies.

Added a Map

You now have access to the map. At first, the map will be blank and you will need to piece the map together to get the most of it. You can toggle the map with M (Start for controllers)

Call-Ins

You can now call for orders with TAB (Right Bumper). This interaction skips the waiting time completely and generates a new order immediately with a little less time for delivery. Each Call-In order grants a small tip.

Benefits and upgrades:

Removed: Careful Skids, Ultimate Road Kit, Anti-Sneeze Syrup, Sneeze Syrup

Retouched: Junk Compass reworked. Now points towards the shop instead of nearest destination. Risk Taker reworked. Special orders spawn more frequently and upon delivery, every order regenerates 7 seconds One Moment Please - Start On-Hold state: 5s >> 8s Bible now restores 15 seconds on each order if triggered successfully Risk Taker now restores 7s for every package after delivering a special order. Great Deal! gain 1 strike instead of 2 but start your next day with slashed tires. FQchange.rlb - Cops will strike you when you speed past them with this item. Adrenaline Rush renamed to Rushdrenaline and various price adjustments in the shop

New: Added 8 new benefits and 4 new items.

Gameplay:

All active items are now cooldown dependent. I think its way better to have a cooldown approach instead of single use. Wheel of fortune money reward: 250€ >> 170€ Mechanic skill tree is now way more expensive, requiring +- 1000€ to unlock a single section Locals during Rush Hour Event Day are faster Veterran NPC has been brought back (same quest as before but now gives a reward) When handling quests given by NPCs, all orders get paused (deleted and reset previously)

QoL and fixes:

Ironed out some issues with drones Fog visuals have been updated Improved collisions Bible now has a new animation whenever it triggers (actually insane) *Hopefully* fixed pick up triggers. They should not get voided now Delivered packages (props thrown when you deliver package) dont deal damage to the player Adjusted vehicle acceleration when offroad Reliablo now displays ticket count Special order spawning has been fixed and now spawn as intended Fixed some AI issues Orders now have hp bar Fixed some benefits not behaving correctly
