We have some news on Bus Driver Simulator for you. We're happy to announce that we're working on the functionality some of you have been waiting for, and it's support for uploading custom liveries to Steam Workshop!
After implementing that, anyone could upload their liveries on Steam and anyone could download, rate and comment them.
Tens and hundreds of liveries made by talented authors all around the world could become available for Bus Driver Simulator community this year.
You can see one of the custom liveries on the screenshot.
A small update - what's new
We have released a small patch for Bus Driver Simulator.
What's new: - Speedometer now shows speed more precisely. - Some localizational fixes, including Tutorial.
By the way, we're working on a new important update, which we'll tell you about in the next post.
Bus Driver Simulator: Murom Suburbs for consoles coming soon!
Bus Driver Simulator: Murom Suburbs will be released for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in the end of this fall!
For those who don't know: Murom Suburbs map for Bus Driver Simulator is a big and beautiful scenery of Russian countryside. We recreated a huge area with dozens of villages, urban area, interchanges, fields, forests and more interesting places. The map is bigger than Serpukhov and Cologne brought together!
On this map, you can drive on 23 pre-created routes and visit 5 garages in different spots. Also, you'll have access to 5 original scenarios.
Either way, the wait is almost over. Soon, everyone will be able to ride their favorite bus on this map!
Unfortunately, the summer is coming to its end. But, the new season for bus drivers is starting right now as the new town Solnechnogorsk is available for everyone!
This update is definitely the largest one in this year, and here's what is waiting for you:
New Map - Solnechnogorsk!
A big part of Solnechnogorsk, Moscow oblast, Russian Federation, has been recreated. It features different districts such as suburbs of a railway station and noisy Leningrad highway and quarters with private houses. There are lots of things to look at: new houses, churches, factories and luxurious mansions. Also, we can't forget that graphical part of the map was created by Bus Driver Simulator fans, not by the team itself. Probably, you don't remember, but we said that we're ready to share our tools and technology with mod makers who are interested in the game and are ready to see their map in the game. Our community has shown some interest in this. After that, fans cooperated with us, and now you can see the result in the game. Also, we decided to lower the price for this DLC by 2 times because the map was made by fans and not by professional level designers.
Routes and garages
You have the space to ride on the new territory! Sixteen pre-created routes with about 50 stops are waiting for you! Just like in original Serpukhov map, there are 4 garages in Solnechnogorsk, from which you can start your routes, purchase buses and upgrade them.
Car traffic
Just like in Murom Suburbs, we implemented the new traffic system in Solnechnogorsk. It allows lights and turn signals on traffic cars to look far more realistic. Also, there you can meet vehicles that don't appear in Serpukhov or Cologne.
General changes
- Updated controller and steering wheel mechanisms again. We tried to solve some problems with input devices and make controls setup easier. - Fixed a problem with camera controls with Sony Dualshock 4. - Minor changes.
Russian Soul is a full-size addon which adds many hours of gameplay to the game.
Game functionality has been transferred to the new map. Cars and buses are roaming around the town, people are waiting for their bus on stops. Gas stations are waiting for their client, and water of Senezh Lake is washing the shore of the town.
Bus Driver Simulator: Murom Suburbs is coming to game consoles!
Bus Driver Simulator: Murom Suburbs is coming to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch! Many of you have asked us whether Murom Suburbs is going to be available on consoles, and now we're ready to answer: yes, it is!
Bus Driver Simulator: Murom Suburbs will be released on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as a standalone game, so you won't have to purchase the base game to take a ride in Murom!
More good news: we don't plan any paid DLC buses, so all the buses ever released for Bus Driver Simulator will be present in this map initially. Their unlock order and in-game price will be changed for console versions. So, if you played regular Bus Driver Simulator in Career Mode, you won't have to drive the same buses!
Release date and other information is to be announced later.
