Monday Update - March 9, 2026

Yo! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I hit up the pump track for a bit this weekend and was reminded that I'm almost 40 😂

Investment Opportunity

We are in the middle of doing a funding round to raise money for Cranked. If you are interested in becoming a part-owner of Session Syndicate, please send me a message, and I will get you all the documentation with more info. Minimum investment is $27,000 USD. So like three nice eMTBs.

Poll

We did a poll on Discord recently asking which feature you guys want to see next. Here are the results.

So I'll be working on career mode and challenges this week! I already have things up and running and will hopefully have something to show at the end of the week.

Here's the plan for the week.

Joe

• I'm building the foundation for career mode and tutorial elements, which includes adding a new "challenges" tab to the leaderboard menu.

• I'm going to try to integrate the replay editor so players can follow a recorded run of Cam for the first tutorial trail.

• Maggie and I are looking into outsourcing some organic environment assets (like tree roots) to help speed up development. We don't have a lot to spend, but if anybody is skilled at making tree roots, please message me!

Michael

• He is continuing the Epic Online Services (EOS) integration, and player sign-in is now officially functional.

• Hodge wants to plan a server stress test soon, so be on the lookout for an announcement about that soon.

Maggie

• Her top priority this week is getting an MVP version of the "Rad Dog" bike shop into the game, which will serve as the hub for player customization.

• Final tweaks to the branded rider gear after we got some feedback from them.

• Working on implementing some new terrain textures that will replace the placeholder ones we have been using.

Cedric

• Since I will be in the scene working on the tutorial stuff, Cedric can't also be in there making tracks, so this week he'll work on some art assets to help Maggie out.

  • Track tape

  • Trail signs

  • Other simple objects that he is confident in tackling

Bryan

• Bryan is putting the finishing touches on our new website landing page with better visuals.

• He also successfully deployed our new analytics agent (Jenkins), which is already giving us valuable data on player retention, so we know exactly what areas need improvement.

Jake says hi! He doesn't want to be disturbed by nibbling his elephant.
