upcoming update
hello, its been a while since last update, ive been away from game development. i will release new small game on august, but lets talk about Grind.

i love this project, and been thinking about it last few days. today i opened the project files and started play with it again. it was fun. heres a list some things that will be on the next update.

- unreal engine version 5.2. game will be updated to latest unreal version. i want to keep this project fresh with new tools available, and have it as a place where i can always return.

- code cleaning. i will do some cleaning and optimizing the code for best performance.

- removed rail balance mechanic. balance mechanic is removed because it wasnt done right, it was a bit clunky, i dont know if this will be added back in the future.

- new map. i know that everyone doesnt like map creation. grind is built around that now, you have to set every obstacle and skate then. there will be a map/maps so you can just hop on without thinking to build everything.

i started streaming last year, i play different games and stream game development, come to say hi on
www.twitch.tv/kimssoon, will stream the development of grind there.
