Rain is here!
In the last announcement about the system being complete, the puddles were randomly placed by the system. Feedback from our testers was that there were many puddles where it made no sense, which made the puddles more of a hindrance than adding to the overall fun. Hence, we've decided to rewrite the system, and now the puddles are hand placed, which was a much more laborious task than we had anticipated. We hope that you guys will now have fun challenging the touge in the wet!
New Track: Tsuchisaka
It's finally time for a new track, and we're happy to announce that Tsuchisaka will now join the roster as one of the custom made maps for TS. In our previous game, Tsuchisaka was one of our favourite tracks, with a great layout, big elevation changes, and slow and high speed sections. We're really excited for it to make a comeback, and believe that it will quickly grow to be one of your favourite tracks here too!
Walltap Penalty System
In the top level of players, a driving style has emerged, whereby to drift the rear of the car into the guardrails to gain time. The penalty system has been updated specifically to detect this exploit, and should generally not affect the penalties of other forms of collision. Gentle wall taps should still not be penalized. Thereby, along with the new track and rain weather, we've decided that it would be a good time to reset the leaderboards. We hope to see a cleaner driving style at the top of the leaderboards soon!
