It’s been a long road — and not the smoothest one.

After a long break, we’re finally back. Honestly, we had to step away for a while due to some pretty tough times. We lost our entire team and, for a moment, it felt like maybe the project wouldn't survive.

But… we didn’t give up.

Right now, we’re just two people building this game — doing everything we can to bring it to life. We've been quietly working on a new vertical slice, and we’re finally starting to see the game take shape in a way we’re really proud of.

We know there’s been criticism. Some of it stung, but it also helped us a lot. We’ve taken everything to heart and built a stronger core loop that feels genuinely fun. And honestly? The game is going great.

Welcome to the Garage

In this devlog, we wanted to give you a peek into the garage gameplay, which has become a big part of the game’s soul.

You can now:

  • Wash, clean off rust, and repair old vans

  • Paint them with spray guns

  • Decorate the interiors however you like

  • Slap on stickers you find during your adventures

Right now, you can place furniture freely, wherever you want — but we’re also working on an optional grid system to help with more precise building for those who want a bit more structure.

We’re intentionally giving players full creative control. We want everyone to build their dream vans, no matter how wild or cozy or chaotic.

We’ll be posting devlogs regularly from now on to keep you in the loop. A Discord server is also on the way — we’d love to build this game alongside you, with your feedback and ideas.

Thanks for sticking around. We’re just getting started again, and it means the world to us that you’re here.

PS: Yeah we know that black paint is coming from red spray, it was just for testing.
