A big one for the core of the game: rolling and smoking have been rebuilt from the ground up.
Rolling
- Pick your weed. Pressing E at a tray now asks what you are rolling, with a 3D bud for every strain in your stash. Press M to mix two strains 50/50 (half the weed from each, and the high blends both).
- Real props. The buds drop into a knurled grinder with teeth, the lid comes off and flips over, the grinder tips over the crease and a line of ground flower builds up as you sprinkle. A rolled card crutch goes in at the narrow end.
- Your own two hands pinch and roll the paper into a cone (only while you are actually rolling), then you lift it to lick the gum line (it goes wet as you go) and twist the tip shut.
- The finished joint pops up and goes straight into your pocket.
- Smoother camera between steps, a cleaner step tracker at the bottom of the screen, and the odd X mark on the tray is gone.
The joint
- A proper cone: card crutch, paper texture (thin papers show the weed through), twisted tip.
- Lit, it burns down for real: charred edge, a glowing ember ring and grey ash that grows and flicks off.
Smoking
- The joint now lives in your left hand, so you can fish, ride a bike, sit and emote with one on the go.
- Tap H to take one out and light it with your lighter. Hold H to pull on it: the cherry glows brighter the longer you pull, bigger pulls hit harder and burn more, and pulling too long makes you cough. Let go to blow it out.
- Friends see your arm come up and your cherry glow while you pull.
- Passing with G is animated for both of you, and the game nudges you with a puff, puff, pass when a friend is nearby.
- Rolling or ripping the bong puts your joint out and saves the rest for later. You can also put it out from the inventory (I), and relight a half-smoked one whenever you like.
Also
- Weed and joints in the inventory and in the dealer's menu now show a little 3D picture.
- The inventory scrolls, for people with a serious stash.
