    • View and manage replays from the replay menu
    • 4 camera modes
    • Hide UI for an unobstructed view and content creation

  • Added rebindable input

    • Input can now be bound to any controls from the settings menu
  • Added terrain deformation distance setting
  • Added enable debug UI setting (FPS, RAM, device details)
  • Fixed AI suspension/wheels not updating for clients
  • Various UI fixes - includes reports listed below

Hi!

First off, we want to say how incredibly excited we are to finally release our game for you to play. This has been years in the making and we think we have a super fun game that we think you'll love.

Currently, the game is in early access, and being such, there will be a ton of bugs, glitches, and content additions/removals. We are working hard to resolve issues as well as bring you new content to enjoy on our way to our version 1.0.0 release!

If you come across any bugs or just have some feedback, please use our community discussion board here on Steam. We'd appreciate it more than you know as we are striving to give you the best possible game.
