AI Music Begone
During development, AI music felt like a great solution for a solo indie developer with no budget. It made getting something into the game quick and easy.
Over time, it’s become clear that it’s not what players want, and honestly, I’m not a fan of it either. I’m now in the process of removing all AI-generated content from the game, starting with the in-game radio.

Radio Revamp
The in-game radio has been revamped to remove all AI generated music "stations".
Turning on the radio now, you'll be greeted with our default included station - TruckersFM.
You'll also find a new "Setup" button on the front of the radio, which will bring up the new UI for adding stations, and allowing you to include your own .MP3 and .WAV files like before. All existing custom music files added before this update should work just as before.
Special Thanks to TruckersFM
A huge thank you to TruckersFM for kindly allowing us to include them as the default in-game station.
Their stream is fully licensed through PPL/PRS, and they’ve confirmed it can be embedded and used within the game. Really appreciate their support on this!
Misc
Lowered the cost of the advanced summary report upgrade to 300. It should have far more use as an early purchase than a late game one.
Minor bug fixes.
What AI content remains?
Just to keep open and honest about what in-game content is AI generated:
Main menu music - Although AI, It's instrumental and as of yet, I haven't had any complaints. Let me know if you feel it should be replaced.
Supervisor avatars - These are AI generated images shown when your supervisor talks to you in-game, customizable in the Customize App on your tablet.
Ask your supervisor - This is a 100% optional feature added to the procedures manual. All information about the game can be found in the manual, however if you're unsure on certain things, or can't find the information you seek easily, you can ask your supervisor (powered by ChatGPT, included with knowledge of the game) and it can help you along. I personally see this as an accessibility feature, and as it's fully optional, I feel it can remain.
Standard presets will still exist, eg very low > high, but you can now tweak the following settings manually: Anti-Aliasing, Render Scale, Shadow Quality, Shadow Distance, Ambient Occlusion, Reflection Probe, Dynamic Conveyor flaps.
This update has been prioritized to diagnose and hopefully fix a lagg issue some players are experiencing when standing near the confiscation bin/flag rack.
- Updated translations
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45112577/2e687c9e32b4c5d38843464f55045cd34cfd7364.gif"]0.8.0
Custom Conveyors
A new upgrade can be found on your tablet which allows you to place custom conveyor segments wherever you like in build mode.
Once purchased, you can enter build mode and press "C / Left d-pad" to enter conveyor mode.
You'll be able to switch between different sized segments, including a corner piece and a stopper piece.
Segments can be reversed simply by clicking them, or removed from within build mode.
Items and luggage placed on a conveyor will adhere to a "traffic" system, where they will automatically stop if a blockage is detected, or if your stopper segment is raised.
Please note: that tweaks and improvements will happen over time based on feedback
Trolley
New to your room is an item trolley.
You can place objects onto the trolley as an easy way of transferring them around the room.
As an added bonus, if the trolley is near the end of a conveyor segment, approaching objects will automatically transfer to the trolley.
Please note: The trolley currently only supports items and not luggage. Based on feedback, a larger trolley can be added for luggage.

Advanced Summary Report
A new upgrade has been added that shows images highlighting where any missed prohibited or illegal items were located in the luggage.
These can be accessed by hovering over the camera icon on the summary details shown below.

Added 2 new aeroplane cosmetics to the build mode shop
Added a cycling greeting above the localization button on the main menu to better indicate its purpose.
Fixed several bugs
Added bug finders to the in-game credits
Many thanks as always for your patience and support!
As a solo developer and father of twins, I do my best to get updates out for you all to hopefully enjoy, but sometimes they take a little longer than expected.
Although I have had a couple of great people offer to beta test this update, finding additional volunteers was difficult and as such bugs can slip through, so if you find any, do let me know and I'll get them resolved asap!

Just a quick update to fix a couple of lingering bugs.
Apologies for the hiatus! I had to move house over Christmas which was a nightmare! There are multiple larger updates nearing completion and proper updates should start rolling back out soon!
Fixed a bug that caused career task validation to not update until you restart the game
Fixed a bug that allowed the show/hide x-ray screen button to stay visible during the BSOD event
Hopeful fix that should prevent some suitcases to refuse to open and be sent to the recovery area.
(additional debug added to diagnose this if it persists: ctrl+shift+click a case will show a "debug" option, which will log the state of the items in the case if there's an issue (console view numpad enter))

Introducing Practice Mode
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45112577/557852bc152f344ea2a435ed019d6cb2bb57729d.png"]Practice Mode is a new training feature accessible from the main menu, designed to help you sharpen your scanning skills and master item identification without the time pressure of career mode.
[p align="start"]Practice Mode includes three distinct training exercises:[p align="start"]Learn Mode - Freely explore each bag by hovering your cursor over any item to see its name and material composition. Perfect for familiarizing yourself with the game's extensive item catalog.[p align="start"]Spot Mode - Test your observation skills by locating a specific item within the bag. You'll be given the item's details and must find it on the X-ray display.[p align="start"]Identify Mode - Challenge your knowledge with a multiple-choice quiz. A random item will be highlighted, and you'll need to correctly identify it from several options.[p align="start"]This mode is not recommended for brand new players and is designed to be a tool to help improve your skills after you've played the main game first.There's still plenty of new main game content in the works! I appreciate your patience, myself and my boys have been sick with a virus and has greatly limited my capability to work.
Craig.
It's spoooooooky season!

Thanks to everyone as always for your patience when updates are a little slow.
