IF I get 1,000 signatures Will You ADD FREEPLAY MODE????
I really like BS21 it is way better than BS18 in a number of ways, but why is there still no FREEPLAY mode?

FREEPLAY mode would include all the financial aspects of the campaign without the campaign; free to play as we see fit, whilst managing our own finances.

It would remove the need to level up your player in order to unlock buses and paints etc.. they would be available immediately but expensive (Player & bus stop levelling up could still be included of course).

C'mon. I dislike it when Simulators play like a game.

Isn't there a sandbox mode?! Like in bus sim18. I think you can tick a box when starting a new game which is the sandbox mode. I'm not sure, only saw a bit preview gameplay on YouTube

Yes: https://youtu.be/6DY10JDAlSo
Unfortunately as a SANDBOX it has zero monetary aspects....Everything is maxed out (bus stops at 99) and nothing costs any money (even though every payday is a loss - because of the bus stops being so high).

And I get why peeps might want a SANDBOX, I'm not suggesting to get rid of that, I just want a FREEPLAY to run my company the way I want. No unlocks, no campaign mission etc.. just start with a certain amount of money 250,000 - 1million and let me run my business the way I want.

I seen on few of developers play videos that there stands mark "free play" in one of corners I am pretty sure they will have it.

I hope you are right! It pretty much is the only significant missing piece for me.

Yeah, Free Play is important for us that like to play simulator style of games. Hope they add this feature.

Ah, glad to know I am not alone. The game is very good, but this would really allow me to Simulate the Bus Company/Driving experience.

good luck trying many of the community have been asking for VR since 2015 and they still keep saying it would not be worth there time doing.

and if they added VR they would be the only ones atm who have it.
but hey other bus games still in early access if they choose not to put VR into their game.

TBH VR (as much as I love VR) is not going to benefit as many people (IMHO) as the addition of FREEPLAY mode, although I understand your frustration.

I honestly think the game has evolved very well and now feels like a solid foundation upon which VR could be added in the next edition perhaps? But FREEPLAY is essential for longevity...what do you do after completing the campaign?

Add it

FREEPLAY would be good

We're happy for your feedback. It's always great to know what players want and we're certainly gonna push out some updates addressing some doable features. Stay tuned :)

As for VR support: We personally here love VR and the added immersion it would bring, but it's not something we can do right now.

Sounds exciting...maybe VR in BS 22?

I would also like this option. To play the missions/quests/story mode and not worry about fines and money.

I asked for a refund as this does not include this feature. For me it is so important. Other games have it. This not.
