Achievements in Bus World

June 29, 2022

Drew some icons for achievements for Bus World. Initially, there will be 14 of them. We tried to make some unusual achievements which are not very easy to obtain, unlike “Deliver 100 passengers to their destinations”. But, some simple achievements will also be present in the game.

A little about optimizing and testing the game

June 15, 2022

We're still testing the game.

As you can see on the screenshots, the clock is now on the mini-map. Also, we made the sea surrounding the island to look infinite.

Optimization is quite hard considering we're on HDRP. It's very resource-taxing and is hard to work with. We're doing our best to make it possible to run the game on older PCs. As of now, the game works like shown below on a mid-range PC.

Route selection and Medals in Bus World

June 4, 2022

Here is how route selection in Free Mode and Chernobyl map look. Each of the pre-created routes can be completed by earning specified amount of points. You can complete the route for Bronze, Silver or Gold. The amount of points needed to get the medal is shown above "Select route" button. Intervals between stops can't be edited in official routes.

However, you can create your own ones. You can choose any stops and create your own schedule.

Choosing location in Bus World

May 28, 2022

This is the appearance of the screen where you will choose location and game mode. One point is Chernobyl, another is Southern China. Name of the location shows up upon mouse hover. Here you can also see how many scenarios you have completed on each location.



In the top-right corner you will find your current level, XP points and how much XP you need to get to the next level. Each new level unlocks new buses and upgrades for them in Free Mode. You can get experience for both completing scenarios and driving routes in Free Mode.

Scenarios will unlock gradually. However, the player will often have a choice which ones to complete first. The most common choice will be between Chernobyl and Southern China. Besides XP, you will also get buses and upgrades for completing Scenarios.

About internal testing and changes to the game

May 24, 2022

We decided to start the global internal test of Bus World this week. In the meantime, we tried to play it as it is intended, with game progression, correct order of unlocking scenarios, buses and upgrades. As for now, we are still finding lots of bugs in the game. We have already noticed about 50 problems. Now programmers and level designer will work on fixing them.

Also, we understood that some things may need to be reworked. For example, now gameplay is built on player's level. It means that money is no longer needed - you can't buy anything using it except for gas. So, we decided to make gas free. Player only earns experience points.

Finally, we re-made how the current in-game time is displayed: in old buses, it's shown on the watch which lay near the notebook with schedule. Sometimes, it's hard to read the time without zooming in, so we decided to also show time on the mini-map. It means that you'll be able to see the current time even in 3rd-person mode.

Tow truck system in Bus World

May 14, 2022

We made the entirely new Tow Truck system. It will work in both Scenarios and Free Mode.

Since there are more obstacles and off-road terrain, sometimes you can get stuck. In this case, you'll have to call a tow truck to get back to the safe place. Such checkpoints will only be present in the places where there is a high possibility to get stuck. Still, you will be able to get back to the garage from any spot on the map.
