This is our version 0.11.0.0 release and consists of a huge update to various elements of the game. Notably including brand new media queue / playlist for cinemas, considerable improvements to homes, Mataara area expansion featuring new cinema, brand new HUD elements for vehicles, and physical gauges on all water vehicles.
The most notable feature in this update is the media queue, shown above; this allows all players to contribute to a playlist which will then be cycled through. This currently works with YouTube videos. Its possible to vote to skip on submissions, as well as use share links with start time specified.
This media queue feature can be found at cinemas, homes and vehicles, with players able to set permissions on things they own (homes, vehicles etc.) to be steam friends only if they so wish. Cinemas are always set to public and no longer need claiming, simply walk up and press Q or select from the radial actions menu to open the media queue menu. For Homes and vehicles, players will need to set to "Queue" mode instead of "Slots", from the customization menu under options (where you usually set media to play etc.).
To go together with the new media queue system addition, we’ve considerably improved the current homes with lots of new items, patterns and options. Shown above is how two default homes now look. For first time users when they claim a home for the first-time, they will be automatically given this customization by default to their initial save game. Existing home item packs have been updated with new additions, and we are working towards bringing out a combined DLC for all these item packs likely next week.
Next major addition is the vehicle orientated HUDs, this means vehicles now use a much easier to read ribbon compass and have on-screen speedometers (tachometer with digital speed output). Some vehicles such as boats also have physical gauges added to their dashboards which will be expanded to more vehicles across future updates.
Another addition is a new Cinema area added to the Mataara area, this one more designed for sitting, watching movies etc. rather than watching music vids and dancing. Other areas around Mataara have been improved, there’s additional road and paths, better lighting as well as general added detail.
On top of all this there has been various bug fixing and back-end improvements to the core systems (including the recently added photo mode, shown above). One notable improvement is adding a delay timer for movement input when in a sitting or emote state, so you must hold input active for a second before you will leave the state. This means no more accidently leaving dances or sitting because you knocked the wrong key when typing. Sitting, in chairs, has also had its back-end systems reworked to hopefully be more reliable.
There is also a new feature that allows you to focus on the cinema screen when you toggle through cameras while in dancing or sitting state. This should make it easier to see a video if you aren't directly in front of the screen.
