08 Jun 2021Developer post

Players can now cut their engines while preserving their forward momentum.
Fixed jittering issues from the client side. Now both client and server are updated at the same time.
Mouse steering controls have been reworked to more accurately reflect gamepad steering controls.
Subtle steering is now easier and more accurate thanks to the new input curve.
Boosting forces a higher throttle value making it so players can no longer move slowly while also boosting.
Impact sparks are now proportional to the player's speed.
Players are now momentarily slowed when coming into contact with the environment.
Acceleration now takes a moment to kick in again after cutting engines. This results in a smoother trajectory when changing directions with cut engines.
Various tick event calls have been rearranged to be more efficient.
The input system handling switching between gamepad and mouse inputs has been improved to be smoother.
Cut engines on keyboard is space bar and on gamepad is left trigger.
User ability on keyboard is E and on gamepad is Y or Up on the D-Pad.
