Road Condition & Emotes

Added 2024-09-06 15:36:48 +0000 UTC

This week I've been working on implementing road conditions to routes, and having some fun with character emotes.

Road Condition

When players select which route they'd like to drive, they'll now need to take note of the road condition. Road condition affects grip and tyre wear, so if you've got a particularly long journey and the roads aren't well kept, you'll want to drive carefully, fit harder tyre compounds, or bring a few spares.

Emotes

Keiko now has an emotion system to react to how the player is driving. The inspiration for this came about when playing Euro Truck Simulator and not enjoying how the penalty system worked for crashes and driving through red lights.

Keiko is a bit of a sukeban (lit. delinquent girl), so driving wildly fits her character. Instead of giving the player a flat fine for driving through every red light, or driving through a pile of drinks crates, the game has keiko react with emotes.

I'll eventually add a fine system, but it will probably involve having police presence and using that proximity to issue a fine. The aim being. rather than always fining the player for dangerous driving, it's more of a gamble that police aren't around.

Cheers,

Greg
