Release 1.5.0 has crossed the finish line!

Release 1.5.0 is finally here!

I've got so many changes for you... really not sure where I should begin.

[h2]Network Gameplay[/h2]
The biggest change is the network layer. Here I changed the library from PUN 2 to Fishnet, which has a lot more features.
For example, you now got LAN multiplayer!!! Do you remember the good old times?

Also, it's now deeply integrated into Steam, means you can easily join a race of a friend, if he has an open lobby.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the new network implementation, and if any issues arise, I’ll address them as needed.

In the meantime, I’ll also be diving into some research - learning new things and experimenting with fresh game ideas. Not sure where this journey will take me yet, but I’m excited to explore!
