Welcome back to another update!
It's been a month this the last post, so here's what's new.
I spent much of last month working on the AI, done a bit of optimizing so it's more friendly tolower-end hardware, and also the traffic is slightly more accurate, but there's 1 bug left which causes some problems with traffic reaching their destination, I'm sure I'll track it down soon.
As you can see, I also spent a bit of time on the roads, adding little extra details here and there,and making them a bit more curved and less angular. Small changes, but I feel as though the game benefits a lot from it.
The shops have been updated with a few new items as well, including a new bed, a cooker, a phone and more.
I also updated the HUD with tooltips, as people who had never played before had trouble understanding what the different buttons on the HUD did.
You can now go to a cooking appliance and replenish your hunger by interacting with it, I may make this a more involved process later, but for the moment, it does the job.
The network mode has received the most attention over this weekend, you can now travel across the entire map in network mode, weather is also synced across all players. Rain will now occur randomly, as will snow during the winter months. Some bugs related to the cars were also fixed, so the network mode is reasonably stable now.

That's all for now, I'm working through a checklist of things I want in the pre-alpha, and progress ispretty good.
Remember to follow me on Twitter and Track This Game to be kept up to date with all the latest info.
Thanks,
Oliver
