Developer update stream
I'm going to do a little stream on Saturday morning (Melbourne time) to talk about what I've been working on for the last month and a half: allowing mechanical loops when building a vehicle.
This a big change that opens up a lot of new creative possibilities, but also affects many parts of the game including physics and the editor. I feel like I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole with this change and I wanted to talk about what's different, what's good and what maybe needs more work, as well as answer your questions and discuss your ideas.

I'll be pushing the change to the beta branch after the stream. Hope you can make it!
Ian.
