We have been on a long journey together when it comes to animations. It's almost funny to go back and look at where we were when we started. Today, we unveil the latest iteration, embracing significant improvements for relays and field events, as well as an overall enhancement to
From the start I've always wanted Track Star to have lots of replayability. Track and field games aren't going to come along every day, I want to make sure I give the people who were waiting for this niche new content to enjoy. To that end, I've been experimenting with a feature
This update is focused on improving the accessibility of the game, specifically improving its fit on monitors of all sizes and ensuring display scaling and font accessibility work. Track Star was built with laptop players in mind but more than a few players with nice, large monit
This update includes some UI tweaks designed to make game content a little more visible and to give me some surface area to build on for future content additions. Rivalry Challenges I've been concerned that people who didn't read how to play or aren't on the Discord have missed t
Pushing a quick update to improve relays. This was one of my favorite new features in college but it has a few issues and I have rectified most of them with this update. Relay invites are now per-event Previously being invited to a relay flagged you as invited to relays in genera
Some minor updates: 1) Addressed an issue with long distance builds where their 1600/3200 meter times from high school were converting improperly to college. This makes long distance more realistic but significantly harder than it was before. 2) Increased coach line content pool

Just wanted to share another short video on where I'm at with the college update. Here's a rundown of what's been added: Team Colors - Definitely want to add more color to the game and am stating by including the team colors everywhere team text shows up. Updated Meet Scoring - I
I have been posting regularly in the Discord and encourage folks to join (do so here: discord.gg/8BFuwmStGK ) but wanted to give an update here as well. I have been hard at work on building out the college mode. This is a major update that not only increases the game size and sco
While I work on the college update, I still want to ensure I am making the existing game better. After a successful launch week (thank you!) I've seen more load on the game and how frequently people are able to hit high scores. Ultimately, I think normal was playing a little too
I am deep into the plans for the College update, which has been the top requested feature since I've launched the game. I've reshaped my plans slightly to try and bring that to life first given overwhelming demand. But, that doesn't mean other features are going by the wayside. O
Made a ton of progress and I am really excited to share it. The initial race animation this game had was always a bit of a placeholder, I could not get the new animation done at launch but I wasn't too far behind. Very excited to share these updates. New: Real Track Oval, Real Ra

Track Star is officially live today! Want to take a minute to thank everyone who helped me on the way, the people who tested the game, and the people who have been enthusiastic since I rolled out the demo in April. I have been a player of sports management games for probably 20+
Getting everything ready for the big day on July 15. Running some more balancing tests and making some final tweaks to the game. Here's a quick recap: Balance Overhauled the energy and fatigue system. Weekly energy regen is up, but racing on low fatigue is down. So it's easier to
Making a final push to get everything ready for the July 15 launch and am really happy with the progress, wanted to share an update. New: Rankings and Revised NPC System Rankings is the headline, but to get it done right I also had to revise the way NPCs were generated. Your athl
