Dear Players,

I would like to sincerely thank you for your support and understanding, especially considering the time constraints I face. Please be reminded that I work on the game after my regular working hours, so updates may take a bit longer.

Currently, my main focus is on developing the multiplayer mode, and the next major update will feature multiplayer - that's my goal.

I kindly ask you to report any bugs with the most detailed description possible, preferably by sending the GameLog.txt via email or Discord. It truly makes the bug-fixing process much smoother, especially for issues that are challenging to reproduce based solely on descriptions.

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.
