Catch up on the latest happenings and changes with the August 2018 update for My Summer Car here!
It's been a little while since My Summer Car was updated, April 30th to be exact, but that doesn't mean the game has been left to drift along without any care or attention, far from it in fact. Developed by a select group of one, My Summer Car is one of those games that you just enjoy playing and watching it grow from a funny idea into something rather more substantial - usually receiving the most bizarre of change logs in the process.
The new August update is no exception to this, adding plenty in the way of fixes to the title whilst also sneaking in one or two new features and changes such as... playing not dying from fatigue.., or new grilling systems... because why not, hey?
You can check out the full change log below:
