Jalopy - Price Increase Announcement

Hello everyone,

We must welcome everyone who has joined us over the last several days during the Steam summer sale. I'd also like to give a thank you to those who have been helping out our new players by answering questions in the forum.

I wanted to let everyone know that we are planning to increase the price for Jalopy slightly shortly after the Steam Summer sale. This will be the final price of the game and there will be no more price increases after this... This also means there will be no price increase for the games full game launch.

Of course, if you bought the game already, you of course don't need to pay any extra! I didn't think I would need to mention this but I believe I will still get this question via email a few times :)

There are several reasons to initiate a price increase, but one of the biggest reasons is to maximize the games presence when it does launch as a full game. It's all very boring behind the scenes strategy to help market the game and is part of the less interesting side of game development, but I hope that many of you understand as it will allow us to reach more players and hope to sustain a good future for us even after the games full release.

As promised in the Early Access questions, I said that I would let everyone know if a price increase was planned to happen. It's not an easy job to value and price your game (in fact this is the most difficult thing to do in order to value the worth of something you have worked on!).

Thank you to everyone who has bought the game so far and helped support us. We hope that you've enjoyed the game so far and continue to support us by leaving questions and engaging in the forums.

Now, regarding the actual development!

Right now Greg is working on bringing back the Uncle, but also looking at Steering Wheel Support as well. Sorry this post isn't very development heavy, it's more of an admin related post. We''ll get to the more exciting side of Games development very soon and show off new things within the next few weeks!

22nd of June Update - Border Guard Issue Fixed! Sorry To Keep You Weighting

Hello everyone,

Some major fixes today which fix a progress stopping bug which was introduced in the last update. We'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to let us know about this and helped us locate it. You guys are awesome!

Other additions and changes have been based on the weight of the car, this includes fixes to the digital dash, weight effecting tyre grip as well as the acceleration of your vehicle.

I hope the awful headline now makes a bit more sense... Sorry about that

The full change log is below!

• Fixed index issue with the User Manual
  
• Digital Dash now updates weight icon correctly
  
• Digital Dash weight alert values increased
  
• Fixed issue where more weight on the car actually made it accelerate faster...
  
• Increased effective of total car weight on tyre grip by 10x (more tyre grip when carrying heavier cargo)
  
• Car Weight reduction to acceleration increased by 10x (cargo weight now greatly reduces acceleration)
  
• Car weight now affects acceleration performance incrementally, based on the base power of the installed engine (i.e. if you have an old, broken engine, weight will be even more of an issue than if you had a sweet engine fully repaired)
  
• Fuel mix now affects engine audio
  
• Engine condition now affects engine audio
  
• Cursor off in the pause menu now works
  
• Fixed issue with ignition coils going below 0 condition.
