Hey, Golden Lap enjoyers!

ℹ️ After learning that some of you were having trouble with the Cinderella Story achievement, we decided to revise the requirements. Going forward, to unlock the achievement, your team must finish a season at least 5 places higher in the team standings than they were in the previous season. If you already have the achievement, don't worry, it will remain unlocked.

⚠️ A quick reminder for modders: Before publishing your mod or reporting bugs, please resolve any errors and warnings to ensure a smoother experience for everyone. In the recent updates, we've made several improvements to debug, so if your mod is already published, it's still worth checking it with the latest build.

✨ Over the past month, your incredible feedback has helped us resolve a ton of major issues in Golden Lap. We truly appreciate your support - thank you so much! 💖
