CAR TUNE: Project News

Since the last update, a lot of time has passed. I have spent a great deal of time optimizing and making changes to the graphics system to ensure smoother gameplay. As a result, the change required a significant overhaul of game files. However, I also had to allocate time for work, personal matters, and household responsibilities. Unfortunately, the game is still being developed outside of regular working hours, and I am doing it alone.
The multiplayer feature was planned for Q1, but I have to postpone it as it still requires a lot of work and improvements.
Currently, the game features 14 unique vehicles (+2 body variants) and over 1500 parts.
Thank you for continuing to play.
