Latebrake v0.3.0 — Garage and Tuning (Source Pre-release)

Release format: SOURCE ONLY. There is no verified playable Win64 executable, Android APK/AAB, Linux package or Unreal Engine game build.

Added

  • Three fictional starter vehicle tuning profiles: Arrow (free), Kestrel (600 earned credits) and Phantom (1,200 earned credits).
  • Prototype silhouettes based only on existing engine primitives, not original finished car meshes.
  • Optional garage unlocks and shared three-level Engine and Grip upgrades, paid from offline in-game race credits only.
  • Bounded, deterministic C++20 garage economy and vehicle stat calculations.
  • New Unreal SaveGame fields preserving unlocks, selection and upgrade levels with fallback for previous profiles.
  • Vehicle performance multipliers applied to the starter rigid-body controller.
  • Keyboard shortcuts and garage status readouts in the existing racing HUD.
  • Portable garage tests for purchases, invalid input, price tiers, save restoration and overflow.

What this does not verify

The GitHub Actions test matrix compiles the engine-independent C++20 modules only. Unreal Header Tool generation, Unreal gameplay class builds, in-editor driving, physics balancing, SaveGame serialization, garage UI layouts and actual Win64/Android packages are not yet tested.

No third-party commercial car art is bundled; the three vehicles are still geometric prototypes. There is no fully finished garage interface, multiplayer, packaged mobile controls or stable 1.0 quality certification.
