Hi @KI5

First off - love your work. Your cars look clean and really fit the game vibe.

But lately I’ve been playing Filibuster Rhymes’ Used Cars Animation Alpha. The models there aren’t as pretty, but they all feel different to drive. Off-roaders handle mud better, vans and trucks are slow but can carry loads, and Hummers are heavy and armored but sluggish. So you end up picking a car for what you need, not just for looks.

Your cars, on the other hand, feel way too OP. Almost every model has a race-car engine, cargo space, and off-road grip all in one. Add some armor and they turn into bunkers on wheels. That makes it hard to pick anything but your “best” car every time.

I get that you don’t reply much on Steam, but I hope you read the comments. Maybe think about giving each car a small weakness or perk - like lower top speed, less cargo space, or slower accel. Or better yet, add a custom sandbox option for each car, so each player can tweak engine power, armor, cargo size, and handling however they want.

Your models are already great. A bit of balance and a custom setup option could make them even more fun to use.
