I screwed it up, so if you grabbed it in the first 12 hours or so, re-grab it, as I had a bug that made cars process about 1\/10th the speed of normal&#8230; ooops. Naturally I did a video talking about the new stuff&#8230;so here it is:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Ryho-7g5vE?rel=0\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really pleased to have finally got a second body type in there (SUV). Actually *doing* this, rather than just talking about it and planning for it had unearthed a huge amount of under-the-hood nonsense that I needed to change, tweak and make more flexible, but the good news is that now the game has multiple body types, adding future ones (we plan on a compact car next) should be a lot quicker and less hassle.<\/p>\n<p>As its a new version, we now have a new &#8216;priorities poll&#8217;, and you can see the priorities of players on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/productionline\/priorities.php\">priorities database table on this page<\/a>. Here is a summary so far:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4543\" src=\"http:\/\/positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Image1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Image1.png 700w, https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Image1-550x127.png 550w, https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Image1-317x73.png 317w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Which is interesting, and probably depressing for artists and sound effects people, because it shows that for games in this genre, gamers just don&#8217;t care about the shiny stuff. What they want are cool systems, lots of options, lots of stuff to play with. And that suits me fine because I am a coder first and foremost, and one who loves complexity, so this is the ideal; answer for me. Because I am aware that this is only a poll of the pre-order hardcore, I *have* arranged for better music (some went in to 1.16) and upcoming GUI graphics revamp, so it wont get completely ignored :D<\/p>\n<p>There will be likely NO VIDEO next weekend as its just before I go on holiday (yes I know&#8230;amazing right), but I hope to be back the weekend after to talk about what goes in this week. In other news, if you are a modern tech worker who isn&#8217;t getting stuff done you could do worse than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted\/dp\/1455586692\/\">read this book<\/a>.
