After another month of work we have yet another beta release ready for you.
This one is a rather large release consisting of mostly your bug lists and suggestions.
You can find the downloads here: www.gearcity.info/beta.html
There are a few major features in this build such as a stand alone car designer (great for kids who can't grasp the full game), ability to save a car design for later use, engine bore & stroke sliders, and a redesigned magazine. Full change log can be found at the bottom of this post.
Over the next month or two we'll be doing a face lift on the website, which will include new videos and screenshots! We'll possibly be doing some PR as well, so stay tuned for that!
For 1.11 we'll continue focusing on your suggestions and bug reports. I hope to get most of them completed for 1.11 so I can work on giving you guys a nice treat in January/February!
