Pedestrian System

Hey everyone!


Pedestrians play an important role in making the city feel alive and believable. Their presence helps turn streets and locations into living spaces rather than static scenery, adding a strong sense of immersion.

With the pedestrian system in place, NPCs move through public areas, cross streets, and react to nearby cars, bringing constant motion and natural behavior to the city. These small interactions help the environment feel more dynamic and grounded.

When things don’t go exactly as planned and a collision happens, the ragdoll system comes into play. Along with added realism, it can also lead to some unexpected and occasionally humorous moments, giving the gameplay a bit of extra character.

Let us know what you think, and we’ll see you in the next devlog!

PS. Don’t forget to add the free slice of Car Rental Simulator: Prologue - Early Days to your wishlist.

Every rental business has to start somewhere, and at the beginning of Car Rental Simulator, you won't have access to a fully equipped car wash just yet. Your first cleaning setup is much simpler. You'll be working with a small handheld pressure washer, which means you need to bring the car to a designated washing spot before getting to work. We wanted to make this area easy to rec…
