It’s been a whole year since Idling Gears launched! This game has been a game-changer for me. It’s given me the chance to go full-time into making games, a dream come true, all thanks to you! I couldn’t be more grateful for the support you’ve shown. To celebrate it, the game will have a 30% discount for the next week! Plus, I’m putting together a small patch to fix up the issues you guys have reported. Once again, thanks for everything, Guillem.

Workshop integration to share both blueprints and skins 😜 MORE ACHIEVEMENTS A reworked buildings menu A reworked shortcut menu (triggered by pressing 1, 2, 3 or 4) The ascension gear now shows you how much torque will be added to the system I lost track of all the new and small
