My Summer Car News

READ THIS: You do not have full access to the Van and Truck at the beginning of the game. The vehicles now belong to your Uncle, and depending on your progress they become available to you. Eventually you will have a full access. Be creative how to deal with the limitation! You can always pick strawberries :D Old saves should work, but it is always recommended to start a new save because of some current big changes in the game.

Happy Christmas and a New Year of 2019 everyone! We've been on Early Access now for little more than two years. It has been longer than what we expected, but that is because the game has seen tons additional content which weren't originally planned even ːsteamhappyː

Now it seems that during the next year we will come out of EA, and work for adding the missing content and features has started. Together with that it is time to start polish up the game and fix any glaring errors or other annoyances as much as possible. So, still no timelines but should be during the 2019.

We are glad you have enjoyed the game SO much, there is still work to do and with your help we can hopefully finalize the game as well as possible.

Sincerely, Amistech Games

Drive safely!

Very happy two-year release anniversary! It has been great time and the game has expanded a lot more than it was ever planned to. Hopefully one day we see the actual finished game :D We are so glad that you have supported us and the game for all these years, truly heart warming :)
