Thanks for playing.

A statement regarding Sumo Cars 2's development;

Very difficult times are upon me. I have my future on the line currently, and a very thin one at that. I am not ending development, but it may be a while till the next update. Please be patient, thank you.

The project isn't dead! We know we sound like a broken record by now, but there's been difficulties in the real world stopping true progress.

However, progress IS being made. Have a screenshot of the new WIP map! :)
