Beta Testing Progress

Hello Gearheads and speed freaks,

We're here to share with you the latest updates from our ongoing Beta testing phase. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we're working hard to incorporate your suggestions.

Here's what's new:

Tutorial Enhancements: We've implemented new mechanics in the tutorial to ensure a smoother learning curve. Certain operations on car parts will now be blocked until the tutorial is completed, guiding you step-by-step through the game's mechanics.

Painting Station & Workbench Station: Get ready to unleash your creativity! While these stations are currently in place without functionality, they're the first step towards more tuning.

Utility Parts: We've added utility parts to cars, giving you more options and flexibility in how you build and customize.

Empty Lift Start: Now, you can start working on an empty lift.

Quest Generation:Dive into the world of car repairs with the introduction of basic procedurally generated repair quests.

Known Issues: We've identified that a few objects are missing names within the game. Rest assured, our team is on it, and we'll have this resolved in an upcoming update.
