This is truly invaluable material for us.Here’s what you noticed during the test and what we’ll be fixing:🖱 Interface and Controls:Players found it hard to figure out which buttons to press on their devices — we definitely need clearer device icons here.Also, the "P" parking indicator on the speedometer would get stuck while driving.And for multi-monitor owners, the game would minimize because the cursor wasn't locked inside the window.🎮 Gameplay Quirks:Pedestrians are currently flat-out refusing to walk around cars, and the cargo mes…

- Launching second stage of beta testing - 26 May 2026
Second Wave of Beta Testing: Applications Open + Format Explained We know what you expect when you hear "open beta test": a button on Steam, one click, and you're in the game. Ours won't work that way—access will still be by application only.Here's why. The first wave accomplished its goal: we identified and are now fixing critical bugs. At this point, we could throw the doors wide open and let everyone in—but the game isn't yet in a state we're ready to showcase without caveats. If the first impression isn't right, there won't be a second chance. That's why we're expanding the tester pool carefully: we'll onboard significantly more people than in Wave One, but applications will still be required—so we can calmly polish the game toward release. So, when we say "open," we mean that anyone can apply, not that there's a one-click button. We understand this differs from the conventional mea…

Hello, car enthusiasts!You know, there are things that are always a little bittersweet to say goodbye to—even when you know it's the right call. Today is one of those moments for us.Game Update Journal is coming to a close. But don't let that get you down! News, updates, behind-the-scenes dev insights—none of that is going anywhere. On the contrary: we'll be sharing them as soon as they're ready, instead of holding them for a monthly roundup.Aaaand—we've got a little gift for you 🎁Before the redesign, we prepared some gameplay GIFs for our Steam page that didn't make the cut. We've bundled them into a single archive and are sharing them with you. Use them, drop them in chats with friends—let them live beyond our internal folders and into your hands.Grab the full archive here:drive.google.com/drive/u/0/...Let's take a moment to talk about what City Car Driving 2.0 really is.We're buildi…
- Results phase one of beta testing - 13 May 2026
Hello car enthusiast!Alright, the first stage is behind us!Thank you to everyone who played, broke things, wrote reports, and patiently answered our questions.We read every single message — and sometimes laughed, sometimes facepalmed, and sometimes started fixing things on the fly. Without you, this stage truly wouldn’t have made sense.Below is what we heard, what we’re already fixing, and what we’re taking into development.What we gathered:240 hours of gameplay, two dozen detailed reports, and several hundred bug reports. That was enough to spot patterns — where the game has real issues, and where there’s room to grow.What we’re fixing first:🎮 Wheel & Force Feedback supportFor most players, the game wasn’t recognizing the wheel — which was especially painful for Moza models. Honestly, we feel a bit embarrassed: a sim without proper wheel support just isn’t what we set out to build. So…

- City Car Driving 2.0 is postponed to April 2026 - 10 November 2025
We want to be completely honest and open with you about something many of you have probably already guessed.City Car Driving 2.0 is being postponed to April 2026.Why did we make this decision?At this point, the following parts of the game are fully complete: - The location - Player vehicles - Traffic system - Core gameplay systems - Visual and sound design detailsWhat remains is to finalize several key elements that will tie the entire game together into a cohesive experience.Until recently, part of the game’s core mechanics was built using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system. However, during the final integration stage, it became clear that this approach wouldn’t allow us to scale and expand the game in the way we originally envisioned.We’ve decided to rework these systems from the ground up, to build a solid foundation for the future and ensure a smooth and stable experience right from E…

Fixed bugs for cars: Ulgares Groberolf and Ulgares Folk The engine for Hangug Eclauto has been dubbed - it sounds like it should now. Added tire sounds for Ulgares Groberolf and all traffic - the ride has become much more atmospheric. Fixed the reason for the sharp drop in FPS on the minimum configuration - a little smoother. The navigator can now count the length of the remaining path. We found and eliminated the reason why pedestrians were stuck in the fence posts - free way for pedestria…
