This update added a new mechanic - digging sand with a shovel. Sand piles are now generated in the world, which can be dug up to find loot. Perhaps the same madman who painted all the wheel rims buried the items. The sleep mechanics were completely rewritten - I got rid of the extra window (the window with the time selection), you can now "wake up" the character at any time by pressing . Also fixed a bug when the character needed only 1 hour to get enough sleep. Now it takes 8 hours to completely fill the sleep bar. Initially, barrels were added to the game so that you don't have to carry a bunch of canisters, but carry one or two barrels. But for some reason, everyone started carrying 10 barrels, somehow fitting them into the trunk. This was not intended, so the spawn of barrels was reduced. The amount of fluids generated inside them has also been reduced. I get a lot of messages about the impossibility of adding fluids to the engine/radiator. To do this, you just need to open the lid. I had to add a corresponding notification to avoid confusion. The changelog includes fixes from the hotfix from February 14. UPDATE #21 CHANGELOG MAIN - ADDED NEW MECHANICS - DIG UP SAND PILES WITH A SHOVEL WHERE OTHER SURVIVORS HID THEIR LOOT WORLD - Sand piles with hidden loot are now generated in places of interest - Fixed a place at a gas station where a character could get stuck CARS - Fixed a bug where a car could receive any amount of damage at the same time - The high beam and additional beam buttons on all cars have been enlarged, now they will be easier to press - Fixed the "blocking" zone of items in VARAN - Items inside the VARAN's interior no longer disappear when driving through a tunnel - You can now attach headlights to the roof of VARAN - Fixed a collision in the engine compartment VARAN - The VARAN car's interior camera has been fixed (it is now precisely centered and slightly higher) - The headlights on the roof now really illuminate everything around.

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 button while holding the cassette in your hands.

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). UPDATE 7 CHANGELOG - 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 MECHANICS - 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) WORLD - 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 m...
