Plenty O' Fixes & Improvements

As we wind down 2025, we as a team have got to say that we're pretty proud of what we've done with Speed Freeks this year.

The game launched into 1.0, we added a wild new vehicle, a level editor with workshop, and a new mode for playing custom maps - along with a ton of bug fixes and improvements overall that brought the game up to to a higher level of quality. We're really happy with the current state of the game itself, and hope you gits are too. Just need more players now!

Thanks to all the gits who stuck with us and continue to do so, we've used your positive feedback, crazy gameplay videos and awesome custom maps as fuel to keep us going. You da best Orks around 💪
