Monday Update - December 8, 2025
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We are still working on getting the Steam Playtest ready. Our plan is to release a build this week to Patreon members so you can start testing the updates that will be in the Steam Playtest. Then, we'll spend a week fixing up any bugs and launch the Playtest next week.
If you haven't already, please check out our Steam page and wishlist the game as well as sign up for the playtest. I know a lot of you already have access to the game but signing up and playing the playtest when it drops will help us boost the Steam algorithm. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3989790/Cranked/
Zac
Zac is working on various small fixes, like missing shadows, and helping Maggie with the new art stuff.
If anyone has any small bug fixes or improvement requests before we launch the playtest, let us know.
Maggie
She is putting the finishing touches on the environment art for the prototype map. It's still a WIP, but we need to ship what we have now and she will continue to improve it in the future.
We got gear files from our first official gear brand, which we'll announce later. Maggie will start working on some of that gear in the near future.
Cedric
Cedric is finishing up a Northshore trail in the second region of the open world map.
He fixed some jumps on the prototype map and is working on the open-world map while waiting for feedback on his prototype map corrections.
Julian
Julian plans to join us for the stream on Thursday since Bryan is still out of town.
Joe
I will be testing the new Steam playtest build, trying to find any last-minute bugs to fix.
I will be taking new screenshots and video for the Steam page so it shows the new art once the playtest is live.
Jake sometimes goes for bike rides. He says hi.
