First December Update
We are having a lot of plans and ideas ourself on what we want to add to the game and where to go, and you guys have a lot of great feedback on how to make the overall experience better.
There's a quite long To-Do list that we're aiming to get done before the hollidays, end of December, and since we don't want to hold back all the goodies we already have, here is the first batch of new and imporved features, for yours to enjoy and feed back :-)
The Game
Here's what changed for the main game:
- New: The games settings can now also be accessed from the racetrack map - even during a race
- New: Option for enabling a Sub Only mode, where only subscribers of the channel can join the game
- New: On-Screen notifications notifying about all the cool dudes and dudettes using their Bits for whatever they desired, so you (the streamer) don't miss and can say "YEAH!" to them (will be made more awesome looky-looky in the next update, promised!)
- Improved: Completely rewritten the camera controls (better handling and no more glitching through the ground)
- Improved: Setting multiple items on/for different rounds/laps on one waypoint now works
- Improved: Better display of the player names
- Fixed: Some more situations where the game lagged when something on the channel happened (players joined, etc.)
- Fixed: The "New Race" button, after a race, freezing the game has been unfrozen
- Fixed: Spots on the map where cars could get stuck
- Fixed: Cars not turning back on their feet (or wheels, for that matter) when landing on their roof
- Fixed: Nerfed the dummies and default waypoints as well as cars sometimes driving a weird zig-zag
The Twitch Extension
Here's what changed for the Twitch Extension:
- New: Options for saving and loading of your finely tuned waypoints
- New: Support for the new Sub Only mode
- New: Use items live, during a race, via Channel Points - see below for details
- Improved: Completely restructured the channel points items - see below for details
- Improved: Setting multiple items on/for different rounds/laps on one waypoint now works

The changed Channel Points items system
We changed a bit how items via Channel Points work, to lessen confusion and possible chat spam due to millions of redemptions:
- We dropped the classifications of "small", "medium" and "big" items. Now there are only "items". Just get "items" and use whatever item it is you want to use (currently the bomb, oil and nitroboost). That should make things a bit more easy.
- There is now not only a Channel Point redemtion for "1 item", but also for "5 items" or "10 items" at once, to reduce spamming the chat with redemption notifiactions for those who wanna use a lot of items - we might tweak those numbers, or add more redemption options, based on additional feedback.
Live item usage while a race is going
We also added an brand new Channel Points redemption option to use items live, during a race.
No matter how and where you set your waypoints, use that item RIGHT NOW, wherever you car is, at the moment.
For now, it's only the bomb you can use, but more items - also ones to be exclusivly used "live" - are already on our To-Do.
ENJOY!
Thanks for playing our game, and keep that feedback coming!
