So, the Next Fest has just started. Have you already seen we have a BETTER and UPDATED DDS2 demo? Gotta play it, I’m telling ya!



And here’s a quick reminder of all the changes to the demo:

Changes and new features:

• Significant rework of the early game questline for improved readability and more slow-paced step-by-step tutorials, so the beginning gameplay is less overwhelming, especially for single-player
  
• Reworked the crafting stations and packaging/unpackaging UI for more readability and quality of life. Visually divided substances and items, added client-side display of available/needed items or substances in the crafting recipe
  
• Added the player inventory as an optional source of crafting items (you can disable it in the UI if you want to)
  
• Added the sales tasklist to the package creation screen, so you can see the ordered drug list before packaging
  
• Reworked the wardrobe UI for more readability and QoL, added the ability to freely drag clothes in all directions as well as take them out of the clothes collection
  
• Added the ability to freely put on and take off backpacks as well as drop, search and pickup backpacks from the ground
  
• Added backpack hanger, which allows you to store backpacks with items on a hook on the wall in any hideout allowing easy backpack switching and storing
  
• Added the ability to jump freely (spacebar release), removed parkour slide
  
• Added automatic parkour activation when holding the spacebar while running/walking
  
• Multiple improvements to NPC's, added missing props as well as watches on client's arms, visual fixes

Bugfixes and general improvements:

• Fixed multiple issues occurring to land vehicles with saving and loading, quick traveling, fuel usage and more
  
• Improved and fixed issues with parkour mechanics, improved geometry interpretations limiting the amount of possible glitches and other issues
  
• Improved ladder interaction and ladder movement
  
• Fixed issues with disappearing UI popups and issues with the experience progress bar

• Fixes and improvements to the game settings, audio settings and more
  
• Fixed an exploit where you were able in some cases to load a save with a finished demo and continue the gameplay loop indefinitely
  
• Fixed issues with calendar positions not loading properly from the saved game
  
• Fixed audio issues, lowered the volume of footsteps
  
• Fixed issues considering shop sales and shop basket

Dealers, it’s time to start Steam Next Fest! And what’s on Steam Next Fest? Drug Dealer Simulator 2 demo, duh!

But this demo is BETTER and UPDATED, and it will make you sit down in amazement. And play. Play a lot, we reckon.

AND with the updated demo now out and Next Fest already happening, we have two brand new challenges for you to compete in! The prizes? Once again, a secret. But there might or might not be game keys involved 👀

So, you ready to find out what to do?



Let’s start with the simpler of the two challenges:


Once again, we have 3 categories with 3 winners, one for each category:

• Animals,
  
• Nature shot,
  
• Weather shot.

Send your screenshots on the #『📸』demo-screenshots chat on our Discord server, starting your message with the name of the category. If you post a screenshot without the category name, it will not be eligible for the challenge!

Remember to be creative and have fun with it!

And now, on to the second challenge.

*drumroll*


Remember the “Find the Marys” challenge when the demo first came out? It’s gonna be like that but with our Hero, Bluntie.



There will be 20 Blunties to find all around the (available) map. This time we made sure it will be much tougher to find them all. To make things interesting, some Blunties will only be visible at certain hours of the day.

To win the reward, you will need to find all 20 of them and send screenshots with proof to our email: mkt@moviegames.pl. There will be 5 winners of this challenge: first come, first served!

BUT. Remember we have eyes everywhere so don’t post any Blunties you found for others to see. And don’t bother with data mining *wink wink*


It's time to set a new record - peak players! Let's all jump into the coop demo :point_right: 9pm CET / 12 PM PST on 5 FEB 2024 (TODAY))

If y’all haven’t noticed already, we’re STOKED for DDS2. And we made a comic.

Here’s page 1 of 3. Enjoy!

So, a few days ago we posted a cryptic message on DDS2. It was the first part of a larger game that led all those who decided to play to a bonus DDS2 trailer with a NEW FEATURE.

As usual, most of you took part and you did solve it in 45 minutes. We were not surprised whatsoever xD And y’all got a sneak peek into the new feature that is available in the DDS2 demo (and in the full game too, obviously).
