Road Life Update is here

This update focuses on life on the road: reputation, economy, restaurants, dealerships, player stats, stamina and weather improvements.

Your actions now matter more.

Buying, selling, stealing, eating, drinking, sprinting and jumping are now connected to new gameplay systems.

💰 NEW REPUTATION & ECONOMY SYSTEM

A new reputation and economy system has been added.

Reputation now affects how prices work across the game.

Features:

  • Buying items increases your reputation

  • Selling items increases your reputation

  • Higher reputation improves selling prices

  • Higher reputation gives better discounts when buying

  • Stealing reduces your reputation

The goal is simple:

👉 reward honest progression 👉 make stealing have consequences 👉 make the economy feel more alive

🍔 NEW RESTAURANT MENU

Restaurants are now functional.

You can now buy food and drinks directly from restaurant menus.

This gives cities more purpose and helps players manage their needs during long trips.

Features:

  • Buy food

  • Buy drinks

  • Manage player needs

  • More useful city stops

🚗 NEW DEALERSHIP MENU

Dealerships are now functional.

You can now buy vehicle parts instantly from any city with a dealership.

This is the first step toward making cities more important for vehicle progression.

Features:

  • Buy vehicle parts

  • Access dealerships in cities

  • Prepare your car before long trips

  • Expand vehicle progression

📊 NEW PLAYER STATS SYSTEM

A new statistics page has been added to the in-game book.

You can now check your progress during the current save.

Stats are saved correctly when sleeping.

This system will keep expanding in future updates.

⚡ NEW STAMINA & CAFFEINE SYSTEM

Energy has been reworked into stamina.

Player movement now consumes energy.

Features:

  • Sprinting consumes stamina

  • Jumping consumes stamina

  • Stamina regenerates when not sprinting

  • Coffee is now functional

  • Caffeine has a maximum limit

  • Error sound added when an item cannot be consumed

This makes movement, coffee and consumables more meaningful.

🌦️ WEATHER & PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Weather has been adjusted to make the game feel better overall.

The game should now have:

  • More sunny weather

  • More cloudy weather

  • Less rain overall

Rain particles have also been reduced to improve performance.

This should make driving smoother during bad weather.

🔧 FIXES & SMALL CHANGES

Several smaller fixes and improvements have also been made:

  • Gear lever sound volume reduced

  • Fixed hotel mission dialogue saying it was free when it was not

  • Updated PDA/book control instructions

  • Removed Space as a handbrake key
