BIG DEMO UPDATE 🙌

Jun 3

Hey Drivers!

We’ve just dropped a new update for the Driving Life Demo – packed with improvements, fixes, and cool new systems. All based on your amazing feedback! 🙌
Here’s what’s new:

Vehicle Damage system;

Vehicles will now take damage when crashing above 20MPH and such crash will no longer result in instant gameover.
Vehicle UI now features a damage meter and the vehicle will gradually emit smoke as, damage rises.
Too much damage will total the car, which will then need to be towed.
There will be repair shops in the full version of the game, but for now towing also repairs the car.

Re-imagined dialogue system;

New dialogue system allows for skipping and closing dialogue.
NPC Speech now part of the UI and no longer based on bubbles above the NPC heads.

Job system revamp;

Job giver NPC might now call player as soon as card is given. (NPC used to call on the next day after card was given)
Objective tracking system with detailed instructions for each step.
Jobs now always begin and end by talking to the job giver NPC.
Addition of grabbing system : certain jobs now require you to manipulate objects and actually transport them in vehicles.
Tourist Transport, Flatbed Delivery and Restaurant Delivery jobs reworked and featuring new objectives.
New post office job, find Lisa in Samuelton to apply.

Improvements to navigation;

new signs placed on the side of the road indicate the direction to towns.
street name signs and directions signs now visible from further away and in a more consistent radius.

Changes to settings;

Steering wheel mapping should now be more straightforward and should now save. (still no support for combined pedals, sorry)
"Window" settings should now reflect actual setting and should now save.
Improved readability of driving tips and driver UI.

This is in addition to the following improvements made since the release of the Demo;

Simple Transmission mode (no clutch + semi-automatic shifting)
Invert camera options (in the gameplay section of the settings screen)
Camera sensitivity options (in the gameplay section of the settings screen)
FSR 3.1 can now be enabled. (in the video section of the settings screen)
Fully customizable controls (Keyboard and gamepad rebind screens in the controls section of the settings screen)
Mouse shifting (Can control the gear shift lever directly with the mouse or thumbstick)

🚧 That’s it (for now)! We’re still working hard and your feedback helps us steer in the right direction. Thank you for all your support – and keep on driving!

Game controller and steering wheel issues.

Cool game. My dual sense controller and G29 steering wheel were not working correctly though. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon. If you want to see pc gameplay and more details about my issues, check out my video here. https://youtu.be/QXLARFSf9Ss

🚗💨Demo Released Date Set - April 11th! 🛣️

Apr 4

Driving Life: Demo is dropping April 11, and it's not your average Sunday drive. Get ready to grind gears, hustle for cash, and fight for financial survival out in the middle of rural America. 🌾⛽
Think you’ve mastered manual transmission? Wait ‘til you're broke, low on gas, and stuck behind a slow-moving tractor. 💸😅

In this hardcore driving survival sim, every mile matters, every dollar counts, and every wrong turn could cost you your next tank of fuel.

🚗 Drive cars, vans, and trucks
🚐 Haul tourists to scenic spots
🏠 Pay rent before your landlord flips
⛽ Balance fuel, repairs, and that sweet, sweet road freedom

Forget fast cars and neon lights — this is real driving life. Dirty windshields, empty wallets, and the glory of a perfectly timed downshift. 😎
We’re building this game with you, not just for you. So once you’ve hit the road, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

👉 Got a cool idea? Found a bug? Wish you could haul cows instead of tourists?
Drop your feedback, suggestions, or dreams in the comments or via Steam — we’re listening.
Mark your calendars, buckle up, and let's see who can survive the grind.

April 11 — see you on the road. 🚘🛣️

Not able to start driving

I cant get the car to start driving. Im holding the clutch press 7 on the numpad but still nothing happens. I dont know if there is supposed to be an animation for switching into a gear but ther is none for me, it also keeps showing 0 on gear. I was really into trying this game out but this is a really hefty downer, especially after it looks so cool...

Suggestion for changing gears

Hi, could I add an automatic clutch like the MSC? And would the gear shifts on the Xbox controller be RB for upshifts and LB for downshifts? It would be much more convenient for driving. I think the individual button system would be good for the steering wheel with gears....
