The Update 54 “Find a new owner” for the racing-simulation Revhead has been released for Linux on Steam.

Update 54 Date: 13 Feb. 2026 Version: 1.9.11679 Update 54 brings the Community to Life! Dear Revheads, We’re excited to introduce new features that bring players closer together than ever before! 📰 Online Car Ads – Buy & Sell with Other Players Got a build you’re proud of? Ready to move on to your next project? You can now place your car in the in-game newspaper and sell it directly to other players — just like any dealership listing! Online Advertisements are another big step toward our upcoming Multiplayer experience. You can now buy and sell cars between players, creating a real player-driven marketplace. 📸 Photo Mode – Capture Your Ride One of the most requested features is finally here! Find the perfect location, set the mood, and capture your build in style. Whether it’s parked outside the Pub or tearing up the streets, Photo Mode lets you showcase your ride at its best. And with built-in Steam sharing features, you can easily share your creations with the community. 🏁 Dynamic Top Speed System To support online ads and future multiplayer competition, we’ve introduced a new dynamic top speed system. Every car still starts with its preset performance — but now: The highest speed you achieve will be recorded. If you make major modifications, the recorded top speed resets. You’ll need to prove your car’s performance again! This ensures fairness, realism, and a competitive edge — especially when buying or selling vehicles. These updates bring us one step closer to a fully connected Revhead Multiplayer world — and we can’t wait to see what you build, sell, and share next. See you at the Pub.

(We will replace the old map in the garage later.) We have marked all important location on the map, from shops to parking areas, race locations, petrol stations and even the garages you can buy.

While this is helpful for the starters, we are aiming to add more speech to the game to increase the immersion in Australia. NOTE! If you are playing with an existing profile, you need to manually assign a control to the map! We don’t want to screw with your existing controller setup. New profile will map it correctly.

Now we have brought night races in the airfield, in a bit of a special way. it is only available at night with some party feeling. The airport works as an airport at daytime, but at night it will be a location for drag race. We hope this little update will make the game more enjoyable, especially for those who likes underground drag racing. Also, we have added support of Steam Deck. Added new race location to the Airport (only open at late night) Added some new brand limited race for night race at Airport Fixed some AI related braking issue at drag races Fixed duplicated controller issues Fixed some localizations Game now supports Steam Deck Enjoy!

Revhead: Update 36 released

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The Update 36 for the racing-simulation Revhead has been released for Linux on Steam.

Update 36 Date: 15-12-2022 Version: 1.5.9234 Dear Revheads! Silence is always a sign of some big work in the background! This time we had a lot to introduce to you! Almost all of it was requested by our players and since XMas is coming, we decided to give you those as our gift. While we are not finished all we wanted, we believe it is a good time to release what we have so far! First of all, the game has a new beginning with a cut-scene intro, which starts from a newly added Airport. While your Uncle Charlie drives you back to your Motel, he introduce the game for new players. He gives you hints about what can you do in the game and put you into the motel as start. Many users complained about our tutorial, since it was a bit too hard for some players and took too much time for those who knows what and how to do. So we made a new in-game tutorial, which is balanced for both groups, much easier, yet introduce everything you really need to know to get started. The game also comes with new game modes: Easy, Medium and Hard. While in Easy mode you get plenty of money and an already ready to race car, the hard mode gives you not much to start with, so you have to work hard to get your first race car ready to race. Game modes also changes AI and race times, to make it easier to win if that is what you choose for. Another major changes is the full controller support! This means you can now play through the game from start to finish using your game controller. You won’t need switch between game controller and mouse or keyboard during the game. For those, who don’t have game controller, we also made it easier to use everything from keyboard with shortcuts. All important shortcuts is shown on the screen to make it even more easier for you. As always, we did many bug-fixes and this time another huge performance optimisation. Our beta testers sent us very positive results, the game started up on old computers, which was not even able to play it before. We are also worked - and still working on Achievements. We have added dozens of it to the game, but this is still under testing, so you have to wait a bit to get it released. It is very close, but need more time to test properly, that is why we decided to delay this part and not include it in this release. Finally, we have 2 more new languages Italian and Polish. While Italian is already in this release, the Polish will be released in the next update or patch. So, here we go: Added cut-scene intro for new start New tutorials, much easier, yet introduce everything you really need to know Full Controller Support - you can play through the game from start to end without a need of mouse or keyboard Selectable Easy/Medium/Hard game modes for new profiles (old profiles start as Medium) Dynamic hints on loading screen to help you solving common problems Added Airport as new location (races will be added soon) Major Performance optimisation Added Italian language Fixed many visual glitches, including Trees and some cars’s body Bugfixes Achievements are under beta testing, will be released as soon testing is done Enjoy!

It is better than ever, it has more race locations and will be our center race park in the short future. We have rebuilt it in a way, that it will be able to accommodate new race types such as drift events, monster trucks races, car jumping, burnout contests or derby. While these races are under development, we have some new race tracks for you and we have also remade the oval track, turned it into a proper Tri-Oval track, actually two tri-oval tracks! It’s been quite some time since we had our last release. Don’t worry, we are still developing Revhead and new features will be released regularly. During this time period we have fixed many bugs, we have improved our AI, since many of you reported they were too easy to beat, now you really need to get yourself together to win. While graphics is not our primary aspect in this game, we focus much more on details regarding car physics or background of racing, like mechanical works, searching for parts or locations, etc, still it is important to keep our visuals up to date. Therefore we have updated some of our parts and environment graphics. If you have a decent PC and you can play the game on high quality, you will notice the difference. No more half-cut mountains, strangely appeared trees. You can actually feel some atmosphere. This is only a minor update, which already makes the game looks better, while we are working on much more significant graphical changes in the background. 2.3km Small Tri Oval Track 3.5km Big Tri Oval Track 400m (1/4 mile) Drag Strip 800m (1/2 mile) Drag Strip Pitstop with 10 service location and multi-line pits, to make it better for future MP version improved AI with much faster NPCs visually updated some parts, like suspension, for more realistic view visual updates for terrains, especially for long distance mountains and trees added extra option to Visual setup to turn on/off fog (during beta tests we’ve seen some HW where fog caused some problems, so we let you be able decid if you want it or not) many smaller tweaks and optimisation for better performance fixed DocOld character, who’s leg was out of the car fixed some tracks where colliders caused issues when player’s car hit the wall fixed issues with Buthanbang chassis caused by damage many smaller bugfixes, reported by our players During the Steam Race Fest, you can get the game and all of it’s DLCs for a 25% discount!

Can't drive this: full version now available for Linux on Steam

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Can’t drive this, the couch-coop-party racing game for up to 4 players, has left the Early Access and is now available for Linux on Steam.

Can’t What Now? Can’t Drive This is a competitive co-op (it’s a thing) multiplayer party racing game. Drive your monster truck WHILE your friend builds the road in front of you! Oh, and don’t go too slow, OR YOU’LL EXPLODE! Like in that Sandra Bullock movie, in which she kinda does the same thing, but on a bus. Also, she doesn’t explode (Spoiler alert). Also, Keanu Reeves was in the movie. Co-Op Multiplayer Goodness Play local face-to-face couch co-op, with your best frenemy! Grab some friends and some controllers, and go destroy those friendships! (We probably should, but do not take responsibility for any damage to your interpersonal relationships.) If you don’t have any friends around, play single-player, or find some random internet-person to play with! Experience the joy of playing Can’t Drive This without that annoying smelly friend next to you. You know the one I’m talking about. Customization! Where’s the fun in online multiplayer if there’s no customization, you ask? A very intelligent question, you beautiful person! Can’t Drive This features a gazillion* unlockable parts and a vehicle editor so you can show off your awesomeness to everybody! But as we all know, only one player gets to drive a car at a time. The other player builds the road. That’s why we also included a road editor! Create your custom track and have your friends race on a gold-plated yellow brick road, if that’s your jam! Feature List Racing Game (What the game is) Level-Editor (The game is this, too!) Customizable Vehicles Customizable Race Tracks Single-Player 2-Player Online Multiplayer Local Multiplayer (up to 4-Player Split-Screen) *Not actually a gazillion parts. Gazillion is probably not even a word.

Revhead: Update 31 released

Sun, 14 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

The Update 31 for the racing-simulation Revhead has now been released for Linux on Steam.

Update 31 Date: 13-02-2021 Version: 1.4.7664 Dear Revheads! It’s new year and we have something new to show! Towing: Many of you love to work on cars, but you are pretty much limited inside the garage. We want to move some of these jobs outside of the garage too, into the streets, pitstops and more. Outback could be a dangerous place and nothing is worst than broke down there with your car. What you would need is quick car recovering or towing service. So, here we go… Jingu as a Tow Truck We have added tow truck into our game. As first step on this road, we’ve made an installable tow equipment for T-Beds, which can transform your truck into a tow truck. The towing device equipped with a crank to pull cars closer to your towing truck and with a draw bar to make it easier to tow into a garage. All you have to do is stand front or rear of the broke down car and attach the hook. If the car is on it’s side or on it’s roof, stand at the sides of that car to roll it back to it’s wheels first. You can find broken cars around Noordu and sometimes Charlie will ask you to help him out with finding and towing in some broken cars. There is a short time you need to wait between two of these missions, so if you only want to go for towing missions, use the motel to sleep one after finished one. All you need to do is to find and tow the car into the garage or detach at the front of Charlie’s garage and get yourself in the garage to talk with Charlie. Multi gauges When it comes to instruments, there is a huge limitation regarding the dashboard. Some dashboard can accommodate only a few instruments, while others can much more. We have more and more instruments coming and this is getting a limitation, which we want to ease, so we have added multi-gauges. These devices integrate multiple instruments into one, so you won’t eat up that much space on the dashboard. List of changes: Added Jingu tow equipments (newspaper only) Added some new and old Jingu Tow Truck to newspaper Added tow car missions (start from garage or from the Outback) Added multigauges, integrate multiple instruments in one for more space on dashboard (tachometer + boost, speedo meter + fuel & water temp, fuel + water temp) Added tire gauges, single and integrated with tachometer Fix size of Walea gauges to accomodate other brand’s instruments as well Fix some issues on Wanja dashboards Fix audio issues when entering to Motel with high rpm Fix wrong side smoking in double exhausts Fix Kangaroo’s colliders which let them go outside or stuck at the fence Fix tutorial to avoid get stuck when player doesn’t follow the normal order of tasks Fix many smaller mostly stability problems, reported by players Added cars to newspaper, made by community member Maresz (more to come) updated localization Enjoy!

Revhead: Update 30 released

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Update 30 for the racing-simulation Revhead has been released for Linux on Steam.

Date: 13-11-2020 Version: 1.4.7382 Dear Revheads! It’s time again for an update! This time we were focusing on car handling, controllers and physics, while we’ve also moved forward with adding new beds for another UTE, Wanja! Handling: It’s been a long ride since we’ve started and finally now we can enjoy driving as we’ve designed years ago! We have updated our tire models and fixed some “outdated” code. As a result the game has much better controls, even on keyboard! From now on, controlled drifting is not only a wish, but reality! New tire gauges We have noticed during beta testing, that many of our users did not understand tire’s heat factors, simply because you cannot see it. You have to be a real racer to understand and feel what is going on without any help, so we decided to add tire gauges. These new gauges helps to show each tire’s operating temperatures and you can get them in multiple format for small gauges to built into tachometer as well. We want to keep it simple and keep the “era” of the game, so don’t expect digital temperatures or pressures, instead some leds to show the temperature level of each tires. Wanja has removable bed Our plan is to make most of the UTE’s bed removable, this time we have added this feature to Wanja UTE. List of changes: Improved car handling, better controller support Improved tire model, better weight delivery, tires with more load has more traction and more wear Added High angle 45deg steering to support drifting (EUROA) Added tire gauges to help understand when tires are overheated or under-heated (EUROA) Added support for 21:9 resolutions Walea and Jingu rectangle instruments background has been replaced to accommodate rounded instruments as well Fixed camber / caster calculation Fixed some audio glitch on scene load and Fixed clutch issues using H-Shifter vs restart race or new scene load Fixed H-Shifter vs stage pipe issues, when car halted at start of race Fixed restart of race, which now reset time, reset all components, including tire pressures, temp, etc. Fixed skid-marks zfight Fixed disappearing cargo box on scene load Fixed Narnoo hub vs brake selection during garage work Fixed Zfight on Narnoo’s frame Localization update Several smaller bugfixes Enjoy!

Revhead: Update 29 released

Sat, 26 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Update 29 for the racing simulation Revhead has been released for Linux on Steam.

Date: 25-09-2020 Version: 1.4.7167 Dear Revheads! Performance: In the next few months, we are going to roll out several performance and graphics updates. As the first results of this progress, we have gained 2x-3x faster game! (Previously some our test rig was able to reach only 50-55 fps, now it’s running on 160fps without any issues.) Also as part of this progress, we have changed many of our materials on the cars. Rust, dirt, paintworks are replaced with a better and much faster one. In the previous releases, when your parking was full, or when you started a race, you have to wait long seconds to get each car loaded. Now it is almost instant! Also, as the first few small steps, we have replaced our main avatars (Charlie, Player male and female) for better looking models. (more to come..) If you still have any issue with performance, try VSync on/off, or lower you resolution first. The game should run fine in full HD, but if your rig is weak, start with going for a lower resolution first, then use less drawing distance and quality settings. New body parts We are introducing beds for UTEs. First, we have made 2 new beds and made it possible to remove the old one, so you have 4 options now: no bed, standard bed, T-Bed and Flat Bad. Driving avatars Finally, our NPC and drivers sit inside the cars and driving! A feature, that we all waited long time to have it! It makes the game more fun and more realistic as well. As always, we were looking at problems, bugs, balance problmes and fixed most of the issues you have reported in the last 2 months. Keep this habits, and send us your problems - we will fix it! Restoration & Wrecks One of the annoying unbalanced part was the restoration and wrecks. We worked again on this part to make it worth to fix a car. If you just fix it, but left some used parts, it will pay back your money, but don’t expect much profit. However, if you fix the car properly and you wont left any used or worst parts in the car, you can gain significant profit! Also, many of you reported that wrecks does not worth to buy, because they are most cases totally wasted money. you cannot fix the engine and hardly can salvage any working parts. Not anymore! It is still random, but we are degrading significantly less parts and the chance that you get some real values are much higher. It is worth to try, even if you might get a few which is a total lost! (Even when it looks like nothing worth on it, if you restore it, you will gain profit!) Custom boxes Another feature were requested by our players: custom boxes! Now you can create and name a box for your own and keep your treasures in it. Automatically created boxes will be removed after they are empty, the custom boxes will stay as long you delete them. List of changes: Performance update, the game can run ~3x faster than before Enabled metal on Mac Faster and smoother physics, better drivability Introducing new beds for Jingu and Narnoo UTE Driving avatars New avatar models (Charlie, male and female player) New materials, much faster to load and looks better too New tail lights for Jingu / Narnoo ute, which can be attached on the frame (so you can have lights when you don’t have a bed) Tweaked AI, much better starting which makes them a drag killer! Watch out for some revheads on gutta drag! It’s not that easy to win against them anymore! Introducing custom boxes, you can create and name one for yourself Introducing FoV in cockpit camera Introducing FPS target, which can be set in the visual options up to 180 FPS Add sound to rim when no tire New defaults for gamepads/joysticks (Try it out, steering sensitivity:6, understeering:4, deadzone:14) for smoother driving Tweaked some of the parts degradation, which was to fast. (battery, lights, horn, sparks, fuesbox) Fixed restoration. If you finish it, you get a real profit, no matter if you started with a high millage used or a wrecked car. Wrecks has values again! It might required a small fortune to fix a wreck, but you can and it will worth! Also, we have tweaked the amount of random damage, to keep those engines and cars alive. (it is still random!) Fix condition text, which were sometimes misleading and stated broken, but it was still repairable (used or bad, but not broken). Fix engine halt issues when using H-Shifter Fixed some tire pressure bug in garage, which caused to lost tire pressure setup if the front and rear was not the same. Fixed some newspaper items, car configs Localization fixes Bugfixes and somehow we’ve also made up some time to sleep and eat… :P Enjoy!

Revhead: Update 28 released

Sun, 28 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Update 28 for the racing- and car-building-simulation Revhead has now been released for Linux on Steam. PS: due to the running Steam Summer Sale, you can get the game currently with a discount.

Date: 27-06-2020 Version: 1.4.6806 Dear Revheads! Finally, we have finished all of our cars interior design! This means, we have now Kanji and Jingu interiors also included in the game. Jingu comes with a two-colored metal dash, big steering wheel with a simple but stylish design. Kanji has two interiors. The basic model comes with two-colored carpet and seats, while the SE edition got dark leather interior. We want you to have more challenging races and more fun, therefore we have improved our AI. As part of this improvement the auto shifting logic was also improved to keep the cars in the best gear as much as possible. As always, we were trying to fix all those bugs that has been reported. List of changes: Jingu interior Kanji Interior Improved AI Localization update Fix auto-shifting and gear shift indicator for better performance Fix missing mid pipe issues, which could block accelerating Fix Kanji fuel level gauge (red zone) Fix small hood intake position for Wanja Small tweaks on notepad ui Smaller bugfixes Enjoy!

Revhead: Update 27 released

Sat, 23 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The Update 27 for the car-simulation Revhead has now been released for Linux on Steam.

Update #27 Date: 22-05-2020 Version: 1.4.6689 Dear Revheads! It is time to handle those endless list of parts many of you collected during the past few years. We have introducing boxes, which allows you to organise your stuff. Any parts which will be removed from your car goes into a box. Every car has it’s own box, but you can also move parts to other boxes including trash or favourite for easier management. We have also added boxes to the back of your ute and pickups, when you are delivering something from a shop, so now you can see if you have something in the car. If you like Magura, you will love this update! As we are working on our interiors, this time Magura gets a real classic one. (Only two more cars to go and we have all cars covered!) Drage Tires: We have replaced our drag tires to use proper sizes with adding 3 new rims and several drag tires in the range of 255x55R15 to 405x47xR15. Some of them are available in the main game, some needs to be unlocked or some can be found in the Turbo DLC. Big tires on front: When you install wide tires on front wheels (245+), those will limit the max angle of steering, due to lack of space to turn the wheel. This is car dependent, so Walea and Kanji loose more steering than a Jingu, when front tires are too wide! Turbo DLC: We don’t forget our new dlc and we have seen several problems using twin turbos on low end linear engines. The turbos were to strong to spool both properly. We have slightly tweaked our turbos for better performance when using twin setups and we have introducing staged (or sequential) turbo setup for linear engines. Installing a stage pipe to your exhaust manifold will allow you to stage two turbos. The smaller turbo will start first (as “stage 1”) and the bigger (or 2nd) will start when you already have 0.7 bar turbo pressure (as “stage 2”). This will let both of your turbos spool much faster and change the dynamics of twin turbos as well as giving you much more place to play with setups. Also, we have added new rims and drag tires! Some of them can be unlocked if you don’t have the turbo DLC (limited to 1 time unlock). List of changes: Magura interior Introducing boxes, trash and favourite within your storage. When you are open your inventory in the garage, you can filter by type as well as by boxes. When you remove something from your car it will end up in a box. Broken parts can be moved to trash or favourite. Trash can be thrown away with one click (you were waiting long time for this) Content’s of boxes can be sold with one click Visible boxes in the back of your car, when buying some stuff at any shops. Added Turbo stage pipe to be able to create sequential turbo configurations (Turbo DLC) New rims and drag tires (some available only in Turbo DLC) Fixed RPM / rev-limiter when using supercharger or turbos. In some setups, turbos or supercharger could bow-down the rpm, when limiter was enabled and caused strange rpm jumps. Tweaked cooling effects for more realistic temperatures and to get those radiator back to work! (previous update kind of “broke” it, since the cooling was way too strong, even with damaged or over tweaked engines) Drag tires replaced to proper sizes (balloon tires on smaller rims) Max steering angle limited by front tire sizes Upgraded 3D models / textures for fan, radiators and carbs. Changed the logic of loosing race points after restarting a race: you won’t loose but max 1 point, no matter how many times you restart the same race. Added KlingerPilot ’s Narnoo to newspaper (as a thanks for all those help we get from you!) Fixed supercharger_se low shaft’s visual glitch several bug-fixes, THANKS for all those who reported bugs, so we could catch and fix them! Enjoy!

First of all our simulation was questioned several times and while some part was good, others made it feels arcade. Game economy and game balance was also mentioned many times, too hard to start the game, using wrecks to farm some money was easy once you figure it out and once you get further, the game get’s too easy. You can win with having a stronger car then an AI or simply relax because our AI will “make sure” you will win. Newspaper was also on the list as too easy to find the “known” treasures kill the fun of treasure hunting. Not anymore! What better time to honour to our players for all those great feedbacks and support with a release specifically designed based on their feedbacks and comments on The Memorial Day! The Biggest Update Since 2 years, we have read all reviews, emails, notes and all comments on Steam and on our discord community site and putting our own roadmap aside, we had focused to gather and fix all major issues, the game still has. Update 22 is the biggest update we have ever done since the game has been released. It improves the game in many ways, from performance, simulations, car handling, AI to game balance, while we were trying to keep something from our own roadmap as well. We are still going to the same road, but we never forget our players and their comments. Simulation Simulation was the major part of this update. We have not only fixed several bugs, but improved the physics simulation for almost all parts, rebalanced our cars and improved our simulation with tire, surface and environment temperature, fixed our drivetrain and many many more, which all makes Revhead now a simulation game. If you like drifting, power slides, hand brake turns or just having fun with some donuts or burnout, this is your version! Projects A new feature is also introduced in the game: Projects. These are smaller or bigger missions, where someone will ask you to do something. From finding a family car to building a race car to reach 500km/h top speed, kind of anything could be. As part of this new project system, we have added the first batch with around 10 racing projects. Tutorial and the “First Car Project”, both has been “transformed” into our new project system, which now allows to get real help and provide the basic education for getting started. If you get stuck just ask Charlie for some help or check the task list. If you have the game already - probably you read it because you do-, try a new profile from start to learn the basics and make sure you don’t miss some important details. Once you finished with these two projects, you can go back to your old profile. Project system was inspired by our Discord Community, especially with the latest “Budgetcar Contest”, managed by our players. It’s one good example, how your ideas can get into the game. So don’t forget, we are making it for You, your comments and ideas does count! Enough! There were so many more, if we write it here you would never even start to read it. So here is the list of what have we done (as a tiny summery :P ) Date: 30-05-2019 Version:1.3.5642 Simulation rework: from arcade to simulation. Better car handling, more realistic driving, drifting, power sliding or just enjoy some fun with few donuts and burnouts. Improved AI and due to the new simulation, it won’t be enough just to have a stronger car, you still need to be able to bring it in first! Fixed weight distribution and added more dynamics for several major parts Added tire temperature, engine temperature, surface and environment temperature, DON’T forget to heat up your tires - and car. Use the first lap to get the tires, engine, brakes, etc. into optimal temperature to get better grip and performance. (drag now starts with optimal preheated tires, races only warm it up a bit, still need a bit of caution at first few corners, while practice and street driving does not have auto warmup, so be careful on throttle until they are warm enough!) Engine rework, rpm, temperature, dynamics Several (SE, racing) ignition system has rpm limiter, most stock ignition does not have any. Without rpm limiter you can heat up and blow your engine much easier! Suspension rework, better, faster, more realistic. Camber, caster and many more improvements Introducing Projects, where you can make some real money with some special work. In this first batch, we have included around 10 racing projects, where you need to select a car, then build it accordingly to the request and win on some race. Some of them are educational and helping you to learn and move forward. Later we will add more types, such as builder and dealer projects. Tutorial and First Car Projects is educational, with a lot more help Game Economy, more random in newspaper to avoid too easy treasure hunting and farming Game balance, you can make now good money with choosing only the racing path, the game won’t force you to race with brand limited races, so you don’t have to change your car if you don’t want to. While the first car is a properly setup for an instant race, you can pick any car you want to unlock all tracks. Full interior for Wanja (we won’t stop until all car has full interior) Walea V6 stock comes with a new SE Tachometer and Speedo for higher speed and rpm limits Added many clocks (for each brand) as instruments to be able to see times, you can now install clock into your dashboards Petrol station has a new billboard with time and price of petrols. Prices could be different in each station, but the petrol is still the same. (soon we will add more types of fuel, this was the pre-work part) Improved performance, if you having low FPS issues, try lowering your resolution first, then lower your visual options! Check your video settings in the game options menu! Localization updated, most major languages are 100% translated, the rest will follows…THANKS for everyone who helped! Added credits for translations, thanks again! Included Winner’s Cars from our “Budget Contest” on discords Thanks guys for the fun! This was one of the major inspiration of our new project system. Fixed Exhaust job bug Fix several 3D clipping issues, “holes” in car chassis, etc. Newspaper has more random, tutorial or project related parts are marked to find them easier 1000+ changes, fixes, tweaks, rebalance Don’t forget to reset your controller setup! Changes will effect your setup! Enjoy!
