🛠️ General Polish
Overall polish and refinements across multiple systems.
🎮 Gameplay & Systems
Grinding is no longer a separate state: instead of being isolated from air or ground states, it now works as an “add-on,” making transitions between states much smoother.
Reworking pedaling & momentum system: aiming for a more consistent feeling, reducing unstable acceleration spikes.
Adjusted transition system: landing points are now chosen more naturally, avoiding forced trajectory corrections.
Increased coping grind detection radius: The detection area for coping grinds has been increased, making it slightly easier to land them..
🛠️ Park Creator Fixes

Fixed a bug where, if the cursor pointed at a piece when opening Park Creator, the selected piece and its attributes were not applied correctly.
Fixed an issue where, if switching from editing to playtest mode with a piece not yet placed, its preview would remain visible.
Fixed a bug where switching from editing to playtest mode with a highlighted piece kept it in that highlighted state.
🚶 Walking Mode
Fixed jump / climb function: it wasn’t working properly in walking mode.

🆕 New Content

- Added 7 new park pieces with size variations to expand creativity and help fill more complex spaces:

4 new floor pieces.
3 new transition pieces.
🎮 Gameplay & Tricks

- Walk-to-bike function reworked: mounting the bike from walking has been improved to prevent some bugs.
- New coping grinds and stalls: you can now grind or stall directly on coping (see Tricklist → Basic Tricks for instructions).
- Smith & Feeble positions added: The bike and rider now adopt the correct grind position while in the air. Currently still being worked on for maintaining the position during grinds (the wheel tends to be pulled down by physics), but it’s already usable in stalls.
⚙️ Physics Improvements

- Adjusted and polished physics to reduce sudden, “erratic” movements that sometimes occurred.
- Ongoing grind physics tweaks: adjustments are being tested to make them feel more natural and smoother little by little.
🛠️ Park Creator Updates
- Movement controls are now more responsive and precise: Instead of instantly reaching top speed, movement now eases in gradually.
This makes it easier to perform small, controlled adjustments when positioning pieces.

🔧 Physics Rework – Current State of the Game
Hey everyone!
I wanted to use this space to share more details about the current state of the game and explain why there haven’t been any new patches lately.
I’ve been working on a major physics rework, which required rebuilding three core systems from scratch.
This not only changed how the game works internally but also broke or outdated many previously implemented mechanics.
That’s why the game hasn’t been in a playable state for updates.
📋 The Three Core Systems:
1️⃣ Core Physics System – 80%
I redesigned the bike’s physical structure using multiple physical parts.
This gives it much more realistic reactions to the environment, but it also broke existing systems: riding, manuals, hops, wallrides, and more.
Now I’m in the process of rebuilding or reworking all of them with a fully physics-based approach.
This system is currently at 80% progress.
Still pending: wallrides, polish on [b>manuals, and general tuning.
2️⃣ Transition System – 100%
This system now works by analyzing the surface of any 3D model, making it way more flexible.
Previously, it required splines and specific tags for every ramp, but now it adapts automatically to any shape.
This not only improves gameplay but also makes map creation way easier, letting modders build custom maps with just geometry—no extra setup needed.
It’s finished and ready to publish, though I’ll keep improving it based on community feedback.
3️⃣ Grind System – 70%
One of the main goals was to make grinds fully physics-based.
Before, the BMX followed a spline with no collision, causing bugs.
Now the pegs have real collisions, letting the bike naturally land and slide on ledges.
The system also adapts to the angle of the ledge, making it compatible with any map.
Right now, it works only with double pegs. I still need to rebuild trick types like feebles, smiths, etc.
It’s currently at 70% progress.
✅ Current Progress Summary

Core Physics System: 80% – Wallrides, manual polishing, general tweaks
Transition System: 100% – Ready to release
Grind System: 70% – Trick rebuild + polish
Thanks so much for your patience and support 🙏
I’m very close to having the game back in a playable state so I can return to regular updates.
This rework will drastically improve the gameplay and make custom content much easier to create 🔥
Exciting things are coming!

Fixes:

Fixed a bug that caused the character to freeze mid-air and transition directly into a bail.
Fixed an issue where the Load Rotation type failed to build rotational momentum correctly.
Resolved an issue where the BMX would slide sideways after completing a flip with the rotation type set to "Load".
Improvements & Additions:

New Mechanic: X-RIDES! Learn how to perform this trick in the Trick List available via the Pause Menu.
Now, even with Grind Assist OFF, the BMX aligns with the grind position to make it feel smoother. Previously, this feature was exclusive to Grind Assist ON.
Improved visual indicators for active settings in the Gameplay Options Menu, making it easier to see which settings are turned on.
I’ve started working on a new grind system that uses physics (not implemented yet). I had to make some changes to the bike physics to add collision to the pegs so they can make contact. In my opinion, these changes make manuals feel a bit smoother, especially during G-Turns. Let me know what you think!

Fixed an issue that prevented properly exiting an icepick while in manual or a toothpick while in nose manual.
Fixed a bug that caused the chosen language setting to not save.
Fixed a bug where some control inputs for flips would get stuck, causing a flip every time you jumped.
Improvements and Additions:

Added a setting to disable the slow-motion button for those who prefer not to use it.
Removed the delay on GTurns.

Fakie Manual Pivot
¿What's next?
For the next updates, i have been planning some things. First of all, i will start focusing on the grinds because i feel that they need to be more consistent and smoother to give a better feeling.
Then, i'll start to work on adding the posibility to modify your bike parts, for example, 4pcs handlebars, different sprockets or even different tyre designs. I also want to add dirt bikes for all those who like MTB.
Simultaneously with these changes, I am also working on different parks, one of them is the main map, which I want to add, and keep growing it with new areas and parks as I upload the updates.
All this will take time but I will try to divide it in smaller updates to be able to upload them with more frequency. I'm also thinking of switching to an early access version so I can focus 100% on this project with the support of those who want to join it.
Enjoy the update and don't forget to send your feedback or what things you would like to see in the game, cause it is very helpful!!! ːsteamthumbsupː
