I am appreciating spending much less time on the game though, but you’ve got to expect to
lose players when there’s nothing to do.

As you mentioned, we are operating in an unusual environment with this pandemic. The next car update depends on when we can get licensing approval. Obtaining licenses for the new car update is more challenging in the current circumstances, however I can assure you that things are progressing for several exciting content updates. We want them in the game as much as you do.

When it comes to feature releases, we've recently introduced the new challenges system as well as flexible criteria, and we will continue iterating on those features. The tech is still quite fresh, and is not very streamlined for creating content quickly, so we are working on improving the tools. This will inevitably lead to an increase in the amount of playable content, which is certainly our goal.

We've been experimenting with some new Tri-Series and Challenge designs recently, for interesting and exciting results. This gives us valuable data on how to design upcoming content. We also have in the pipeline several YOTO-like events which will keep you occupied for a while while offering great prizes. 

There is also work on the new UI and environments which is still on-going. As you know, we've A/B tested several versions of the UI in the past months. This work is aimed at improving your gameplay experience, and it's something that will have a profound effect on how the game feels.

Yesterday during the Q&A livestream we've teased a couple of quality of life improvements that are put on high priority right now. This includes reducing Gold cost for skipping fuses (depending on the fusing time left), and ability to lock cars during hand selection. There is a big list of other improvements that is being explored, although some of them are likely to be introduced with the new UI, as it wouldn't be reasonable spending work time bringing them in now, and then change the UI later.

There is quite a bit to be looking forward to, although I appreciate it may not appear that way right now.
