Car Tune: Project
Update 01/11/2020: A ton of new things! [Version: 0.5a1]
First off, a lot of people complained due to the fact, that we left the game without updates for such a long time; We're sorry for keeping you waiting for this long, we were trying our best to fix all the game-breakers to give you a stable version of the game, and due to most of us still being in a full-time job it wasn't possible to release the update as quickly as we wanted.
It won't happen again however, we will do our best to update the game with hotfixes more often and add things along the way ;)
Now, let's kick off with the update log!

- Car: BAW x46 Coupe added
- Car: FS Polsky Coupe added

As a first, I want to apologise for the lack of activity; We're still working hard on new vehicles that will be in the game, and also a lot of bugs, as we want the game as playable as it's possible.
Wichur and Jerry are working hard both on the new cars and new items, as well as bugs and optimisation currently, and I have some new things to show you!
As a first, and the most important..
A new vehicle, the BAW X46!
It's still a WIP, but it's doing very well ;)
( A lot of people complained that they have seen others use the new cars, that's all due to the fact that those people are our patron subscribers, and so on, they get to test the closed-loop betas )
Now second, and so another important thing.. You may have noticed on the BAW photos that they're a bit.. different than normal.
And that's all due to.. Photo mode!
Now you may wonder what you'd be able to do with such photo mode.
Here's a photo I made, and I think it's pretty good! The photo mode is advanced, but user-friendly ;)
From other things, there's more parts (like Air Ride and new wheels, adjustable wishbones and more) and there's one more car in the making ;) (that I will not spoil, but you will get to know it soon!)
I hope you are all being safe and sound, and you'll soon enjoy the update!
See you next time!

Hey everyone!
I know the progress reports do not happen often, but that is due to the fact that we like to show you something well-made, and not a glued together, jagged model or function :)
Jerry has been working on something.. That something is of course another car!
Hashimura Civil joins the game.
Of course it will fit your subwoofer!
How about a little race? BAW vs Hashimura?
There's not much else to say, apart from the fact that the code is being revamped, and once the update comes out fully, it will be a big one.
See you next time!

The update is pretty close now, so we had a debate about showing you all some progress we've made in the meantime.
Wichur is recently sat in modeling software making.. Something well known by the polish motor industry (see teaser below! )
Jerry on the other hand is making another car, the BAW Super Sport GT! See the pics below!
Apart from that, Jerry has also decided to add some more subwoofers and subwoofer boxes, Makes some noise!
We have also heavily worked on improving the physics engine, because the last one was criticised a lot by people (I can see why though)
The free roam map (known as Bigmap) has also seen a lot of work, but that's a topic for another blog :)
PS. I forgot to mention a couple of things, for example the fact, that the game is finally getting controller and wheel support, new wheels, different widths of wheel spacers, new graphical settings and more.
There also was a lot of bugfixing happening in the meantime, and we're also optimising the game as we go.
I Hope you enjoyed this little insight of what we're up to! :)
See you next time!

Game Update 22/03/2020

Game Update 26/02/2020
Recently the game had a lot of problems with optimisation, as a lot of you have noticed the FPS started dropping drastically.
But do not worry, we're doing what's in our powers to make the game work better (We even end up having insomnia due to it)
Here's the list of changes so far:
- We have managed to optimise the game a lot, but we're doing sleepless nights to make it even better ( Protip: for better performance disable mirrors and reflections)
- Cars displaying incorrectly in the dealership has been fixed
- Black screen error has been amended (if still appearing, please contact us on Discord)
- We added a bot on the Airstrip to play around with :)
- Gramatical improvements here and there
- Russian and Finnish languages have been added (May still be WIP)
- Amended the suspension removal error
- Patched the License plate text error (too many characters)
- Slight polishes and fixes in other areas
So, as you can see, we're working very hard to make sure the game is as polished as possible!
That's all folks!
Have fun! :)

Game Update 22/02/2020
As some of you may know or not know, we're still fixing some bugs here and there, people report them, and we continue to fix them as soon as it is physically possible.
Wichur is working really hard, he releases 2-3 bug-fixes daily at this moment, while I (MJay) am correcting the language differences, write announcements for steam as well as I also respond to questions and queries, which pop out like mushrooms do a while after the rain.
Jerry on the other hand is working on more stuff to be added into the game :)
And now today's topic: Piracy!
Unity games tend to usually be easily pirated, so Wichur decided to implement his own anti-piracy measures, after all, we're a small studio, so pirating our game would mean that we wouldn't make any money for future development.
Remember: Want to support us?
Say "Nay" to The Pirate Bay!
That's all for today!
Have fun!

Game Update 21/02/2020
As some of you may know, Car Tune had some game-breaking bugs on release.
The team spent hours clueless to work out what could cause the problem, and in the end it was.. A number separator which depends on which region you are in..
As of now we have managed to fix the invisible dealer car bug, as well as some other minor bugs, mind you if the update does not solve the problem you are experiencing, we have worked out a temporary solution to the entire bug: Please change your computers' region settings to Poland, as it seems to be fixing the entire problem.
Have fun! :D

The project's creator, Bartosz aka Wichur is debugging the game, wrestling with it and duct taping it all together. Probably even during the time you are reading this (possibly even in the future). But do not fret, because even if we wouldn't be here cheering for him, he would still work on this game regardless... this is his baby after all. So don't worry, he is dead set at finishing this project. So yes the struggle is real.
Meanwhile on Jerry's side everything goes smooth. He's having a blast. He keeps on making parts in his spare time and just filling the game up with content when he has some time on his hands.
By the way... We reached our first milestone on Patreon! Hurray =)
This is all for now...
Until next time!
