NEW Update v0.0.05 - Let there be Music! Radio Station Quest.

Intro:

First things first, I'm sorry this Update took so long.. (Jeez, I feel like I start these Update logs the same every time..) However this update will be great! At least I hope so!

In this Update you'll get to fix the Radio Tower and have the Radio broadcasting throughout the valley again. As you may remember from the intro video the Radio Tower got destroyed by a Lightning Strike.. DJ T. the host of the Yosemite Park Public Radio, whom you might remember from the into video, will ask you to help out by fixing the Radio Tower. You can find a letter on your windshield, which will get you started. By searching and acquiring a few items as well as than solving some puzzles you can repair the Radio Station. When you finished everything and the Radio is on again.. Be sure to check out your mailbox! ;)

I wanted these puzzles and Item searching to be a challenge, therefore you must really take your time to explore.

I purposefully want the searching and puzzles to be bit hard, so there will be virtually no hand holding.

However if you get stuck, don't be afraid to reach out! We'd love to help out and help you get on your way again!

Update v0.0.05:

New Features:

• POI Radio Station is a completely new and explorable building.

• Puzzles and new Items added for Radio Tower

• A whole Radio Station has been created through some smart tech in the backend. Making the radio station feel like a live radio.

• Interactable Radios can be found at several POIs and Public buildings will have a radio playing.

• Car Radio - While in the car you can turn on the Radio

• At the Hardware Store you can buy radios you can place inside your own buildings on your own Landplot.

• Tons more...

Changes:

• Added Early Access Disclaimer on begin screen.

• Changed default movement to walking (instead of jogging).

• Music slider in the Audio menu now works for the Radio as well.

• A bunch, I don't even remember..

Fixes:

• Fixed several Saving issues, like Trunk of car not saving, items in cupboards and such not saving.

• Fixed some NPC cars not having lights.

• Fixed raining inside one of the POIs.

• Fixed FP and TP issues while driving in car.

• Tried to fix interaction for butchering on rabbits.

Nerdy Dev Stuff:

• Changed the interaction trace to start from Theo's head instead of the camera. Makes the interaction a bit more engaged.

Extra Info:

Music:

The Music from the Radio is 100% Copyright free! I used SunoAI and some other tech to make the music, as long as I'm doing this Solo and don't have any budget, this will have to do for now. Hopefully later down the line we will have the ability to get some artists on board!

As a content creator myself I understand the struggles and frustrations around Copyright issues on Youtube (or Twitch) and I made sure you guys shouldn't have any, if you do run into this please let me know ASAP!

Tips Advice:

• I'd recommend starting a new game. There might be some issues with the Save System - Again, if you get stuck with the quest, reach out to us, on Discord or Steam Forums, so we can guide you!

What is next?

Next up.. Hmm.. Good one, I was thinking of going for some map expansion? A Map expansion will allow for more POIs and more possibilities for other gameplay. We have a temporary hardware pop-up store, I want to add horse riding into the game at some point along with some Vehicle things, like Vehicle damage and a mechanic to fix your car or something. But to bring all that in we need more space. To me it feels weird to keep clearing out areas in the current playable area, and place POIs where they don't belong. Especially when just a few miles up the valley is an actual village. (I'm not yet saying the whole village will be there, but at least there is space.)

So Next up Map expansion and Horse Riding will have my focus.

And as always feel free to drop your suggestions in the Discord or here on the Steam Forums, as well as questions and experiences!

A special thanks to @mmontes for reporting a bunch of bugs! <3

As always happy gaming, I hope you'll enjoy the update! Thanks for your support and patience! <3
