Hi all,Big big thanks to everyone who's playing the game and giving feedback - it's been busy and overwhelming but I appreciate all the kind words and support. There have been a handful of issues raised in the past two days, but thankfully things seem stable for most, and the issues that have come up should be solvable in the near term. I just wanted to give an overview of how the next few weeks are looking to keep everyone in the loop.Patch update 1.0.1 now liveAdded axis input support for binary actions (e.g. you can now use your thumbstick for things like indicators)Added a short delay when braking to a stop before transitioning into reverseMay have fixed an issue where controllers would sometimes not work in-game despite working in the menus - please let me know if this still happens to youAdjusted the brightness of the UI background fade on Off-World scenesSlightly increased the range of motion for interior cameras, so you can better look out of the windowRemoved unused/duplicated vehicles from the Profile displayRemoved the engine preference setting from the System settings; this was only meant to be a First-Time Setup thing which initialises the defaults.

Hey all,Testing is going well and everything is finally falling into place for the version 1 release next week. While I didn't hit the August date I was hoping for, in these extra few weeks I was able to finalise the new vehicles and revamp all of the interiors, as well as make some critical improvements and fixes to the game as a whole. Even though I'm sure there will still be some inevitable turbulence on release day, and surely a couple bugs I've missed, it feels a lot more polished and stable now, and I think it was the right call to delay. Here's a before-after on the coupe interior, for example:...and the coach:In the past few days I've updated the store page with a new trailer and video clips showing off what's coming next week. In particular you get a good look at the new vehicles doing their thing. The variety feels really good, and I'm looking forward to finally getting them into people's hands. Even though I wasn't sure about adding a sports car, it's becoming my favourite way to play.I'm going to spend the next week probably not sleeping very much and doing everything I can to make for a smooth release. Thanks again

Hey all,It's been a busy few weeks - development is going well, and I wanted to share some of the progress along with an update on release targets. I'm on schedule to finish core development by the end of the month, though sadly can't confirm everything will be ready for release in August. With issues raised so far during testing, and also some unexpected real-life difficulties, it seems wise to take another week or two so as not to rush these final steps. I've updated the target release month to September for now, and will try to confirm a specific date after the results of testing next week. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who's been waiting for release in August - I promise I'm going as quickly as I'm able. I can at least keep you updated on how things are going, so here's an overview of what I've been working on.Development Progress For the first time since 2022 I've been working on new vehicles: a rally hatchback, designed for dirt trails, and a GT3-style sports car, for higher speed and traction. Both are still WIP, so you'll only get these views from afar for now, but they're complete enough that I can confirm t
