Hello all,
We've just launched a bug fix update for Flashing Lights.
You can read the full patch notes below, but first, let's take a look at the new update roadmap!
Bug fix update: This update will further polish and improve the game experience.
AI fixes and improvements: We'll be focusing on fixing issues with AI backup, making for more reliable support.
Idle NPCs: Making the world feel that bit more alive and realistic, we'll be adding idle NPCs such as store clerks and drunk pedestrians.
New world props: We'll be adding new props and models to the open world, such as signs outside bars, adding an additional layer of detail to the world.
Vehicle customisation: We know how important vehicle customisation is to the community, so we're excited to add options such as wheel types, antennas, pushbars and more!
Light stages: This is one that we've seen a lot of you asking for! Light stages will add further nuance to the emergency light customisation options.
