Monday Update - March 23, 2026

Yo! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Here's the scoop for the week.

TL:DR of what we are working on this week:

• New multiplayer race mode

• New challenge types

• Bike shop art

Michael

• He built a new moderation tool to handle nasty usernames on the leaderboards. It uses a server-side ban list and integrates with Claude to catch complex cases, along with a new Unity tool for mass removals.

• He's putting the finishing touches on rewriting the old race system code. This is a crucial step to enable networking for the new multiplayer session mode.

• Once he spends a few minutes tuning the username checker today, he'll be ready to fire off new builds for playtesting and Patreon. The build process has changed so we might encounter some bugs, but we'll get builds out ASAP.

Joe

• I'll be spending most of the week designing new challenge types. Drop your ideas in the comments if you have any.

• I'm organizing a meeting with Fish and Michael to unify our UI design. Right now, we're using three different UI systems, and we need a cohesive visual direction.

• We plan to stream on Thursday, but it might be a bit later than usual. I have an appointment I need to attend, but we'll fire up the stream as soon as I'm back.

Maggie

• Maggie is continuing her work on the new rider gear.

• She will be generating some fresh renders of the environment to send over to Bryan for the website.

• She is also going to lay out the "Rad Dog" bike shop in the game scene.

Julian

• Julian has a busy week with school, so his main focus will be managing and posting social media clips.

• One of the recent clips took off. It hit over 100,000 views, 1,700 likes, 500 shares, and brought in about 150 new followers.

Bryan

• Bryan is tightening up the landing page, which will utilize the new assets Maggie sends over.

• His other massive priority this week is finalizing the Cranked marketing plan.

Cedric

• Trails on the open world map

This is usually where I tell you Jake says hi, but unfortunately, we put our sweet buddy to rest last week. We had an amazing 14 years and 4 days together. I thought I would go back and start posting my favorite pics of him over the years. Here's one from 2012.
