Car Dealer Simulator News

[h2]Hey Car Dealers![/h2]

We want to thank you all so much for the incredibly warm reception of Car Dealer Simulator on Steam!
In just two weeks, you've posted over 1300 Very Positive reviews, and our Discord community is nearing 4,000 members!

Since launch, we’ve already released 18 smaller patches, directly based on your feedback and suggestions. Over the next few days, our developers are taking a well-deserved breather after the intense launch 😅But that doesn’t mean the whole team is on break - during this time, we’re analyzing your feedback, organizing reports, and designing new features.

Starting next week, we’re back at it with new updates!
Patches will be released less frequently, as we’re now shifting focus to larger, more complex updates that require more time and attention.

Our DMs, emails, and Steam notifications are literally on fire - but rest assured, we’re reviewing and sorting all of your feedback in our internal notes every day.
Everything gets added to the list, and we truly take it into account when planning the game’s further development.

We’ll soon share more info about the next steps and exciting new content we’re already working on.

We’re incredibly grateful for your support and beyond excited to continue developing this project for a community like you.

Thank you for being with us!

Best regards,
Garage Monkeys Team

🛠️ A few players have reported an issue where the game does not close properly and the process stays running. We’re working to reproduce and verify this behavior. If you're experiencing the same issue and would like to help us resolve it, please join our Discord server and head to the #bug-reports channel, thread titled "The game does not close properly after choosing exit from the Main Menu". We've posted a message there explaining what kind of information would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
