Hey everybody, it's been quite a while since the last TCPD update!

This one is pretty significant! The changes includes physics updates, level changes, new game modes, and more.

Special thanks to everybody who tried the game during the #IndieRacersFestival! I'm working on implementing changes/fixes from all the feedback I received during the event. I promise the next update will be within the next month or so, not year!

Read the patch notes below or just go download the new build now!
