In this update we’ve added weekly, per-match and all-time leaderboards, optimised networking and made a bunch of other sweet tweaks and additions.
Here are the changes:
- New Leaderboards: There are now weekly, per-match and all-time leaderboards so you can see how well you're racing online. The weekly leaderboard shows the top monsters for the week, while the per-match and all-time leaderboards will show you who's the king monster of the hill for each match and the overall best monster racers.
- Networking: Reduced networking bandwidth by another 50%. You should experience better ping times and even smoother games online. We've now reduced our bandwidth to about 25% of what it was in our first release.
- Player Data: Our monster cloud uses improved player authentication which means leaderboards can show you and your rivals in all of their monster glory on the leaderboards!
- Car Paint Jobs: During the race your cars now use colours from your monster for a more personalised look.
- Heavily optimised cars on the server and client.
- Added new fog and car trail effects.
- Fixed missile tracking issue near junctions.
- Updated game engine and networking.
- Heaps of other minor updates and fixes.
What are you waiting for? Play some matches online and get yourself onto the leaderboards. We’d love to see how well you're racing!
