Hey everyone,
This week’s update is a smaller one, focused mainly on quality-of-life improvements. While the changes may be subtle, they’re all things we believe meaningfully improve the overall experience. We hope you enjoy them!
New Lighting for In-Menu Kart & Character
We’ve wanted to refresh the lighting for your kart and character preview in the Main Menu for quite a while. This week, it finally landed! The new, more realistic lighting gives your setup a much nicer presentation, and we’re pretty happy with how it turned out.
Reordering Built-In Groups
Last week we introduced the ability to reorder your custom race track groups in the Main Menu.
This week, we’ve expanded that feature to built-in groups as well! Now you can fully customize the order of all your groups and organize your favorite tracks exactly how you like.
Other Improvements
Adjusted “Create New” group behavior - it now automatically enters edit mode
Adjusted “Customize” random button - it now automatically approves the selected item
Updated preset rotation - it now rotates at a constant speed
Fixed preset rotation for presets that include hidden elements
Added exhaust particles to karts in preset customization
Updated to latest Unity version
Extra Improvements
Added a dialog that allows you to disable Time Trial leaderboard record uploads when a race track is detected as Work in Progress by the track creator (via the publish directory)
Duels - Added support for custom tracks, including a custom track pop-up dialog. This feature still needs more testing, but you should now be able to play against other players on custom tracks
🐞 Known Issues
Character and wheel positions in the Main Menu vehicle preview may appear slightly offset
If you have feedback or run into any issues, let us know! Thanks for playing! 🎉
