Update 0.2.4 brings a whole new update for the city track Vakoda! 13 new tracks to race on, as well as an entirely new neon drenched cyberpunk city to explore! Phaseshift now has a total of 25 tracks! Also includes visual improvements to menu UI, resolution scaling, Barrier glow effects, font sizes and more!
Balancing/Tweaks
-Elimination countdown timer now starts after weapons have been enabled. For games that have weapons disabled, the elimination timer will start after 20 seconds
-Catch up is now stronger for players behind AI
-1 second respawn timers can now be selected
What's Next
Pre-Race handling! This includes environment cameras to show the scenery, new pre-race environment specific music and a rev-matching 'mini-game' to simulate a good launch. AI will also move onto a torque/gear based model like the player, so initial getaways as well as acceleration/torque curves will be identical to allow for better fine tuning and fairer racing. (No more storming ahead off the line!) This will also make way for better engine audio further down the line!
AI aggression and difficulty is still being monitored, so tweaks may be made in this area relative to your feedback!
