Now and Next
For more information on why we're doing NEXT and NOW instead of a roadmap for our development updates, please head to April 8th's update.
As you may know, making online improvements to the gameplay experience was our highest priority for a while. This meant that a couple of things were put on pause while John, the single engineer working on networking code, focused on improving that experience. As a 6 person team, this is the kind of decision making we are doing at all times. Its a constant balancing between what exists and needs to be better, and what doesn't exist and needs to be built. Being on Early Access has helped us a lot to add importance to the things that need to be better. All of you who have played and given feedback have been instrumental in helping us make decisions, and we can't thank you enough for joining us on that journey!
All of that said, this is what we are currently focusing on:
NOW
- Refinements to character animations.
- Refinements to Front End UI.
- Localization pass.
- New cars and tracks in development.
- Ongoing work on console porting.
NEXT
- Fix bug in which lapped players who cross the finish line have the wrong placement displayed temporarily.
- Implementation of Steam Achievements & console achievements.
- Further bug-fixing (Thank you for your reports!)
Lastly, we want to thank the mods at our Discord, who continue to nourish a safe, fun and engaged community of motorsports fans. Additionally, we want to give a HUGE shoutout to Minardi, our dear friend and community leader. Minardi has not only continued to pioneer fan content creation of Circuit Superstars, but he has also been an ongoing leader in the community. From helping gather people at the racetrack, to making each new member of the community feel welcome. Thank you for your outstanding presence, Minardi!
As always to get the most up to date information, sign up to the official Circuit Superstars Discord Server. There you can meet other fans, find racers in your region, sign up to exclusive closed BETA tests plus so much more.
We look forward to seeing you there and on the race track!
