Hello everyone,We hope that everyone has had an excellent start to 2018. We've come back from the holidays fully charged and eager to hop on to develop the game. Over the past few weeks we've been working on the AI traffic and the parking ticket system.

In fact, they've been working incredibly hard to bring new features to the game, from a semi-open world to online multiplayer.

The first entry delves into crafting and farming (there's some strong language in the first...
