A Few Words First (Reminder)
Some early development choices created technical challenges we did not fully anticipate. As a reminder, part of the team continues to support public and beta versions with updates, while another works on rebuilding key systems in parallel.
With that in mind, it was important for us to fix certain aspects of the game before bringing you a bigger update focused on the garage. So here’s a pre-patch to prepare for the garage’s arrival!
