>the game is all things considered simple raising sim with VN parts
the racing simulation portion was probably 99% of dev time. Making a satisfying sim is always something that gets revamped a lot because it's easy to make something that isn't fun at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made from scratch multiple times. I'd bet my arm that things like strategies, turf bonuses and weather are leftovers from a more ambitious implementation of them. I think the way inclines & declines are handled are a good example of what the fully fleshed out game was supposed to be like with multiple stats getting checked
