addedCar Physics ReworkIn this Update the car physics have been reworked entirely and I have switched to an automatic transmission temporarily. The car now follows a more realistic acceleration path and also has better grip on roads. Suspension is more realistic and less rigid than in the previous version. To try out the new car system click on the car rework in the main menu.

addedUI/Menu ReworkedThe UI has been reworked, most UI that was used in the debugging process has been removed (except in the experimental areas) and replaced with a simpler yet still informative Interface. The main menu has also been improved With a fun spinning version of the Storka on the main menu. I'm also trying out some new fonts as you can see in the title section of the menu. The controls section is collapsible so that it doesn't take up too much interface space.

This update will be the last one in 2025 and leading into 2026 this will give me a great start into getting the game ready for a demo release in the Steam Next Fest during summer.
