We're delighted to reveal that you'll be able to get your hands on Long Drive North's shared RV update on May 18th!
This update will include:
Shared RV option for multiplayer!
Death consequences - choose your difficulty level
RV engine, battery and wheel upgrades
RV appliances - stove and microwave
RV additions - ladder, roof rack and tire rack
RV customisation - spray paints and liveries
If you're yet to jump in and wish to try before you buy, the good news is that we'll also be releasing a newly updated demo on May 18th - so you can experience a slice of the latest version of the game and give shared RVs a shot!
While we have previously given you first looks at shared RV functionality and RV upgrades, today we're giving you a sneak peek at some other exciting additions which will round out this update.
In our quest to further offer you a more customised survival experience, we're introducing a number of options regarding what happens when you die. When you start a new journey you'll be presented with the following options:
Lose nothing when you die. You respawn with full stats (Personal stats such as health, hunger, thirst etc, as well as RV stats such as engine battery, fuel etc).
Dying means you will lose all items in your inventory, except those which are mapped to your hotbar. You respawn with 75% stats.
Dying means you will lose all items you are carrying. You respawn with 50% stats.
Permadeath. Dying means you will have to start a new game.
As well as spray paint options we will also be introducing liveries so you can further make your RV your own.
In addition to the RV upgrades previously revealed, this update will also introduce the ability to craft a fuel tank, water tank and water filter.
We're also enhancing a couple of visual elements, namely grass and road textures.
This new grass visual looks a lot less flat and two-dimensional, making for more believable foliage.
And our new road texture is less repetitive and 'patchy', making it a little easier on the eye.
