Lost Host News

[p]Hello everyone, long time no see![/p][p]

I’ve updated the demo to version 0.4 (important fixes). One of the main changes:
The camera can now rotate freely in 360 degrees without limits, and a shader hides walls and trees for better visibility.

Also, you can switch to a third-person camera by pressing C.
This is an additional camera for players who find the top-down view difficult, and it can also help to find hidden objects.

I listen to my community and try to fix issues in the game.
So for those who had trouble controlling the car, I would really like to hear your feedback in my Discord:
