We’re overjoyed and excited to announce that our 1.1 is up and ready for all the wrestlers to slam! Here’s a summarization of the new features that we’ve announced over the past few weeks:
Flee - need to make a strategic exit? Worry no more! The new Flee mechanic will allow players to escape harm whenever they need to!
Gimmicks Menu Adjustment - We heard your comments about the UI being difficult to navigate. We’ve implemented better scrolling so you get to wherever you need easier and faster!
Improved Bosses - No more waiting on rounds for your HP to drop during those cinematic battles! The bosses in unwinnable fights now deal enough damage to make you lose so you can stick to the script better!
Combat Fast Forward - In a rush to be somewhere? Use the Fast Forward button to speed up the combat!
Crafting Recipes - Time to be a master crafter! The crafting recipes now tell you what category the craftables belong to as you purchase them.
Surge Dome Arena UI - The gladiatorial combat center receives an upgrade! Now, you can see the challengers before the fight as well as the reward that you can win.
Enemy Awareness Radius Reduction - Be sneaky! It’s now easier to sneak around enemies and escape danger.
Heal Outside of Combat - You can now use your healing gimmicks to heal outside of combat! Win your next fight by making sure your party members are all ready to rock and slam.
Detective Pad - It’s time to be a better detective! You can now back out and see if you are prepared to present your findings and solve the mysteries.
Minigame Skip - All minigames can now be skipped! Previously, only some of them were skippable, but we found that some players wanted to skip through any of them, so we added that!
Healing Items buff - We heard the concern that some healing items become useless in the later parts of the game. They now heal through a percentage instead of a flat value.
AP Regeneration - You’ll be able to replenish your sweatiness whenever QTEs or timed events are pressed successfully (Yes, it includes when auto-win QTE is turned on)!
Run Toggle - We heard you guys, and we adjusted the run to be a toggle instead of needing to hold it the entire time when running!
On top of these new features, here is a quick rundown of some issues that we’ve squashed! The list includes but is not limited to the following:
A random block during the Boss Rush
Unable to get out of the dungeon during post-credit gameplay
Characters respawning in colliders after the combat
Getting stuck within colliders
Accessing combat tutorials causes a block
Game gets stuck in a black screen when accessing the world map at times
Crashes when you close the game by force
Combat against the Wasteland Express causes a crash
Can’t get enough wrestling RPG action? Don’t worry; we’re keeping the slams coming with balancing updates, bug fixes, and more, so let’s take WrestleQuest to the next level together! We’ll be posting like this in the future before updates, so expect to see all the slamtastic features here first!
We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for taking this journey with us to wrestling stardom. If you have any questions or suggestions, hop on to our Discord and let us know. We’d be more than happy to see you there!

After conquering the GT3 world, Morgan decided to have a go and create their own version of the Polar Express, the result was the 2019 Morgan Aero GT.
Far from the looks of a train, the Aero GT’s body improved the aerodynamics of Morgan’s racer which made its already amazing 4.8-liter V-8 engine.
Modern design and big engine packed in a classic looking package, the Morgan Aero GT will make you feel the need to wear a top hat and monocle when you unlock it for 20 PTS on the second Winter week of the Festival Playlist.

Captain Fawkes here. It’s been many-a-year since our treasured course Tourist Trap first washed up on your stores - what with Meow Wolf, Widow’s Walkabout, and many other courses on-hand for all you scallywags, it can be easy to forget such a treasure!
That’s why the Mighty Coconut crew thought it fitting to return to Tourist Trap and polish up this old seadog with a remaster! But what’s changed, I can hear you ask. Well, just take a look below!
The island and its waters including oceans and streams, have been given a UI polish.
Animations including flying seagulls and trees and flowers that now blow in the wind, have also been updated. Hold onto your headsets!
Lighting and color has also been redressed in both Easy and Hard Modes.
So grab those sword clubs, form a crew, and see you once again in Tourist Trap!
Don’t forget to keep an eye out (eye patch appropriate) on our X, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord, for further news and announcements.
If there's one thing that accompanies a drive perfectly, it's a briliant soundtrack. That's why we teamed up with TruckStopRadio who provide the tunes when you're playing Alaskan Road Truckers.
From 17:00 GMT on the 15th of December for one week, we're proud to announce that we're going one step further. Welcome to...
Alaskan Road Tunes!
We're taking over the airwaves! All week long Alaskan Road Truckers players will be in charge of TruckStopRadio, making song requests, asking for shoutouts - the lot.
So if you've ever wanted to hear a particular song in-game, or have a family member, friend, or pet who deserves getting name-checked live on radio - you'll be able to do so all week!
Between 17:00 BST on the 15th of December and the 22nd of December TruckStopRadio will be running Alaskan Road Tunes. In addition to requests and shoutouts, they'll also be running giveaways both live on radio and over on their Discord. Make sure you're signed up to their Discord to get the latest info!
So the next time you're trucking in Alaskan Road Truckers and fancy hearing a particular song, hit up TruckStopRadio and request it. Let's get the festive season off to a smash with Alaskan Road Tunes.
