Howdy Super Gosu Cars fans! It's time for another game update! Discoveries Tiny little secrets have been added to all tracks in the game for you to discover. Discoveries are meant to be a fun little side thing to keep the veteran Super Gosu Drivers entertained for a bit when crushing the competition in a Grand Prix or polishing time trial records is no longer enough.

As if the extatic joy of uncovering a discovery wasn't enough you will also be rewarded with a shiny achievement when you find one!

- Summer break is over! Moving forward with development! - 4 August 2023
Hey, Super Gosu Cars fans! It's me, the Developer. Time flies and summer time doubly so! One month of summer vacation quickly turned into two, but don't worry, I am now once more behind the wheel and back on track with much to do! Going forward First of all I want to apologize to all my fans for the two months of complete radio silence: Sorry! I got to be frank with you all: I have not been able to work much on the game these past two months. And while I am now back in action, chances are high I will not be able to put as much time into development as before. What this means is that while development will continue and the game will leave early access, it is going to take a bit longer and at a bit slower pace. Instead of bi-weekly game updates you can probably expect maybe an update once a month or so. But that's not all! The updates will most likely be smaller than before too! Wow! On t…
- Regular Scheduled Update - 2 June 2023
A new patch is here for y'all to kick off the start of the northern hemisphere summer months! Introducing the new Notifications feature! But other than that it's mostly bug fixes and minor tweaks, but those are necessary too! Can't always have new shiny things when old shiny things don't work properly and needs fixings. New feature: Notifications A notifications system has been added to the game. As an example notifications will pop up to inform you whenever you perform a feat achievement that counts toward a Cup Performer or Cup Master achievement, even if you have already earned the associated achievement for that feat. I hope this will make unlocking the harder Cup Performer and Cup Master achievements more comprehendable and enjoyable. Very notification. Much wow. Announcement: Summer dev Development of the game will be taking a back seat for a bit. Even super gosu devs need a longe…

Hey Super Gosu Cars fans, The Developer here! Just wanted to pop by with the latest news from the Super Gosu Cars universe! Professor on vacation Take a look at this postcard I got from the Professor the other day! It seems he's on an extended vacation in the Seagull Tropics, and apparently he's been there for two weeks already! Whoa! No wonder there hasn't been much progress over here in the workshop as of late! But I guess the guy deserves a break after bending time and space in the last update, don't you think? ːsteamthumbsupː Mysterious attachment Hmm, what's that you say? There's something attached to the postcard!? ...ooh, I see! Looks like a stamp-sized sketch of some sort, doesn't it? Maybe the ingenious Professor hasn't been all that inactive after all!

- Development update: Steam Input progress! - 27 January 2023
Hey, Super Gosu Cars aficionados! The Developer is back with another quick update on the game's progress. Specifically the long awaited Steam Input support! Steam Input I'm going to keep things short: There's good news, and there's bad news. The good news is that progress on Steam Input is plodding along and it is basically complete, functional, usable, cool and good.

If you're new to Steam Input you can check out this neat guide while you wait: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/steam_controller/getting_started_for_players What's next?
