I've been working hard on our first post release update! I’m really happy with how much we were able to improve the game with your feedback! Here are some of the things I’ve focused on.
Community Discord
The Volume Games Discord Channel is now fully open to the community! I hope you can join us and share content, feedback, and follow our progress with the game.
New Options Available
I’ve added options for turning off screen shake and controller vibrations, as well as cleaning up the settings menu and making minor adjustments for clarity.
Camera Improvements
I have removed ambient camera movement. I have also improved the camera impact and landing shake reactions.
Improved UI/UX
Grand Prix Cups now display difficulty as “complete” or “incomplete” for better progress tracking.
Time Trial now communicates a lap time must be placed before leaderboards are fetched. Additionally, the relevant leaderboard is now shown after the post race screen.
Tracks codes are now exposed to help with identifying and sharing.
You will now see the version number exposed in the lower left corner of the main menu screen. This will help us in tracking issues and improving the game.
The initial screen will now cycle through all available input devices instead of focusing on the first gamepad.
Difficulty Improvements
In GP mode, higher difficulties are now unlocked by completing the cup on the previous difficulty.
Misc. Fixes
T3 - Joker barrier adjusted.
AI driving line improvements.
Engine audio is slightly increased.
Improved menu flow.
Fixed an issue where a track could be loaded twice and break the race management. (shout-out dgoodin24 for his excellent YouTube video!)
The update is currently being tested and I hope to have it published before the weekend. Thanks everyone!
