Amistech Games have released another update for PC driving game My Summer Car, adding a number of new features and fixes to the title.
The update, released today (13.3.17), will automatically download the next time players start their Steam client. Much like the last patch released early February, Amistech have looked to deploy a nice mix of fixes to existing issues and the addition of new features.
Unlike the usual sim racing title updates no new tyre versions or trick suspension setups are in evidence here, however we can now do cool things like brew your own special brew beverage and store it in juice cans, sell said drink from your house, climb into boats you've previously fallen from and partake in life story conversations with certain individuals whom you offer a lift.
No one said My Summer Car was an ordinary game did they?!?!

About The Game
My Summer Car is the ultimate car owning, building, fixing, tuning, maintenance AND permadeath life survival simulator. You start the game with hundreds of loose parts and assemble both car and engine. Not only you need to maintain your car, but yourself as well. Sausages, beer and sleeping will do just fine.
If everything goes well, you have a working car which you can use for various 1990's Finnish countryside summer activities. Basically doing stupid things under influence of alcohol. After you have gathered extra money from various random jobs, you can start to tune and upgrade the car with parts ordered via snail mail. You can turn the car into a obnoxious bass-boom disco machine.... or into a rally car to participate rally competitions... or just fix it into perfect factory condition. Of course car also needs to pass the inspection or you might get into trouble with police.
Not only you have access to one car, but also several other cars and vehicles which you can use. (Mostly useful to get groceries and for towing the project car from some ditch, again).
Warning, this game is not for fainted heart. Severe car fever is required to play this properly due to it's autistic approach on car building.
