[h1]Here we go again, Turbo Kids,[/h1]
Here's what we've been working on in the past few months, as you'll see the game is really coming together nicely!

You may have seen some hints in screenshots from our previous dev updates, but we now have all the screens for the “Status” menu. This one is all about your currently acquired abilities and weapons. Oops, skipped that tutorial explaining a new ability or forgot some of the details? Don’t worry, we got you covered. You can re-watch any tutorial video/text for all your turbo gear, right here, in this screen. Pretty handy, right?
[h2]Bike Skins[/h2]

No more searching for your bike on the rack, make yours unique with these fresh customizations
Need to spruce up the ole wheels? Turn some heads as you ride through town sporting these brand-new bike skins. Collect some sweet customizations for your bike throughout your journey, available as quest rewards, from merchants, or by some other intentionally undisclosed means (wink, wink, cough, cough). Your starter bike will even vary depending on if you are playing with the Kid or Apple.

Chill beats to save the Wasteland/rock out to
You are all in for a special treat in this final sub-screen reveal: The Music Player. Oh boy, your ears are not ready for all these heart-pumping beats curtesy of Le Matos. Collect all the audio cassettes throughout the game and listen to them here, featuring brand new music and some previously unreleased tracks.
Headphones are highly recommended. May induce severe head-bobbing and feelings of euphoria.

“What are ya buyin' Stranger?”
We talked about these fine folks before and we are happy to report that they have made their way into the game and are ready to exchange their wares with weary travelers. You can find them all over the world, help them on their way, and maybe they’ll give you a discount.

Who knew the Kid was this organized?
As promised, we can finally show you the fabled Notebook. This is quite the chonky book and it will be crucial to your journey throughout the game. Keep track of all the places you see, the people you encounter, the quests you need to complete, and more. If you are a lore buff, this is also where you’ll keep track of all the narrative collectibles scattered throughout the world. Oh, and let’s not forget, it also contains the Comic Book! Collect all the pages and read a brand new exclusive book by Jeik Dion right here.
With all that new content, the Turboverse is feeling more and more alive by the minute.
