Hello everyone!

We want to keep you guys on the loop about BeamNG.drive development. We realize we are often so focused on the game development itself that we forget to keep you updated as much as we would like.

After reading your feedback, we have decided to put some extra effort to improve on that front.

We are starting a series of DevBlog posts, containing sneak peeks into what some of the BeamNG team members have been working on since the last update. Our aim is to post somewhat regularly, and more frequently than game updates.
