A Small Note from Me

Thank you so much for the first two weeks after launch.

During this time, I joined Twitch and YouTube livestreams, watched almost every video I could find about the game regardless of language, and had the chance to meet and chat with many of you. I genuinely had a lot of fun, took plenty of notes, and really enjoyed watching you play.

First of all, thank you all for the interest you have shown in the game. Your feedback has been incredibly valuable, and I’ve been noting it down one by one while continuing to improve the game.

Over these first two weeks, I focused heavily on quality updates, fixes, and polish improvements, and some of you have probably already noticed that. With this update, I’ll start shifting a bit more of that focus toward new content coming to the game.

Your feedback will continue to be a huge part of that process, so if you have ideas or suggestions, the door is always open. I’ll keep taking notes.

One feature I especially want to focus on next is the “most-wanted” Automatic Car Wash Machine 😁, since it has been one of the most requested features so far. There is also plenty of other content planned that I hope to share with you over time.

Lastly, while I am developing the game together with my teammate on the 3D side, I personally handle most of the day-to-day work around updates, videos, community, marketing, and overall development. So if I reply a little late sometimes, that is usually why.

I am doing my best to keep working hard and stay close to the community. ⚡

Thank you again for all the support.
Questions, feedback, and suggestions are always welcome!
