  UFO Achievements, Police Scaling, and Quality of Life Fixes

  Hello everyone! I’ve been working through the latest feedback and have some fixes and adjustments live now. Here is the breakdown of what’s changed:Gameplay & BalancePolice AI Rebalance: To help players at the start of a run, Police now start slower and with less weight. Their difficulty will gradually scale back to original values over the course of a 10-minute session.Handling Tweaks: The Handbrake has been buffed for more stopping power, and the Hot Rod suspension has been tuned to be significantly less "bouncy."Road Adjustments: Several checkpoints have been moved to not overlap builds, and various road colliders have been adjusted to prevent snagging.Bug Fixes & AchievementsMouse Cursor: Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor would not reappear after moving the mouse.UFO Achievements: Fixed issues with achievements tied to time lasted in Chase Mode.Menu Logic: Fixed a critical bug where selecting steering wheel controls prevented players from returning to the main menu after a game restart.Achievement Tracking: The "All Cars" achievement is now checked more frequently to ensure it triggers correctly upon completion.Visuals & CameraDriver Camera: Re-centered the interior camera to align better with the steering wheel for a more natural perspective.UI Updates: Refreshed the Armor icons for better clarity.Known Issue: Steering Wheel SupportI’m aware that Steering Wheel input is currently not functioning as intended for some setups.Because I am currently away from my home development rig, I don't have my physical wheel on hand to properly debug and test the input mapping. This is my top priority as soon as I return in a few weeks. I appreciate your patience while I get back to my hardware to get this fixed for you!Special ThanksSpecial thanks to power_man_901 and Rico for their suggestions and feedback! Your input was instrumental in helping me track down these bugs and fine-tune the balancing.Thanks for playing and for the continued support!

  56 Ways to Wreck: The Garage of Jack's 510 Racing is Open!

  Get ready to hit the gas. I've been hard at work tuning the garage, and I'm excited to reveal exactly what you’ll be driving (and destroying) when you hit the streets.At launch, you'll have access to a roster of 56 unique vehicles spread across 6 distinct classes:CompactSedanSportTruckOff-RoadMotorcycleWant to make a ride truly your own? There are 7 highly customizable vehicles where you can completely overhaul the looks, tires, paint, and performance. As for the rest of the roster, you can still tweak their performance and slap on a custom paint job to make sure you're leaving the competition in the dust in style.What about adding more cars? While I definitely have plans to expand the roster in the future, my day-one priority is making sure these starting 56 vehicles feel incredible to drive, the balancing is tight, and the in-game economy is perfectly tuned. I want every vehicle purchase and upgrade to feel rewarding before I start adding new keys to the dealership.Get ready to pick your class and start your engines!
