Car Trader Simulator Devlog #51 - "More about special events!"

Hello Car Traders!

Many days ago we have talked with you about random game events - a special little occurrences in the daily life of car traders that spice them up. We would like to revisit it for a while.

As we have said previously there will be many random events in the game that will make each playthrough of the game a little bit different ensuring a replayability of the game. Random game events might be strictly positive, negative or they can be mixed - offering a little bit of advantage here, and a little bit of disadvantage there. The choice is ultimately yours.

Positive game events are especially fun since they provide you with an opportunity to gain something. What you'll be gaining will differ from event to another event but for the sake of example let's say that it's not just the cash that you'll get this way...

Negative game events often have you face some problematic situation and will make sure to add that little extra spice for you. There's nothing more horrifying when you're already barely meeting ends and then it turns out that your cars were stolen or your garage burnt down... Maybe it's time for a loan?

Mixed events combine both of those two aspects often leaving you with a choice where you'll be forced to make some compromises. See the example below - as you can see every choice brings something positive and negative to the table and depending on your needs and preferences you should make an appropriate choice.

While very similar you need to differentiate between random game events and consequences of your choices. Let's say that you have sold a car without fixing or checking it altogether, you have lied to your customer saying it's absolutely fine and it does not require additional fixes. Don't be surprised if that customer calls you later to yell at you for lying! However that is not a random game event - it is merely a consequence of your actions.

Remember that at the start of the game you can select how frequently random events will appear in the game!

Hey! Remember that our community challenge is on-going! Just to remind you here are the goals you need to reach in order to receive rewards! Good luck!
