FAQ
Common
#1 Q: Where are new updates for game/games?
A: I am working on my games solo. This is my hobby, so I don't always have time to make updates.
#2 Q: What does the game version mean?
A: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
(Used in other games too with some subjective additions)
MAJOR - when backwards incompatible changes are made. The major version zero (0.y.z) is intended for initial development. Everything can change at any moment.
MINOR - when new functionality is added without breaking backward compatibility.
PATCH - bug fixes.
When MAJOR changes - MINOR and PATCH resets to zero.
When MINOR changes - PATCH resets to zero.
Example #1: 0.14.1 (Major: 0, Minor: 14, Patch: 1)
Example #2: 0.7 (Major: 0, Minor: 7, Patch: 0)
#3 Q: What is pre-alpha?
A: There is already some kind of program that gives an idea of what it will do. Development is underway, adding new functionality, refactoring. The architecture of the program can completely change at any time. At this point, the program can already get a version, usually 0.x.y.
#4 Q: Why can't you add everything players want (like large maps or new cars)?
A: I am primarily a programmer. Creating high-quality 3D assets, such as detailed cars and expansive maps, requires the specialized skills of a 3D artist. Hiring professional artists costs money, and that budget comes directly from the revenue generated by the games (via ads or In-App Purchases). Adding massive content updates is difficult and heavily relies on the games' financial performance.
#5 Q: What do acronyms like TBA, F2P, or TBD mean?
A: Here is a quick glossary of abbreviations commonly used in gamedev and on this website:
• TBA (To Be Announced) - The information will be officially revealed in the future.
• TBD (To Be Determined / To Be Decided) - Something is planned, but specific details (like a release date or feature set) are not yet chosen or finalized.
• F2P (Free-to-Play) - Games that can be downloaded and played for free, usually funded via ads or in-game purchases.
• IAP (In-App Purchase) - Optional digital goods or items you can buy inside a game.
• SDK (Software Development Kit) - A collection of software tools and libraries used by developers to integrate features (like ads, analytics, or platform achievements) into the game.

#1 Q: Why was the game development discontinued?
A: It ultimately came down to a mix of financial reality and a loss of personal interest. Maintaining platform compliance and updating SDKs yearly required significant time and effort, yet the game didn't pay off financially over its 5-year run. Developing highly requested features like multiplayer would have cost more than the game ever earned. Because of this, the passion to continue working on it faded, leading to the difficult decision to end development, cancel the 5-year anniversary update and video about it, and delist the game.
