Hi Everybody! Today we are releasing version 0.9.0. We are in the end game! At this point, the game is mostly feature complete. The last few things we are working on are the final few event races, a few UI screens, bug fixes, and optimization.
The newest feature of this update is the new CPU behavior system. We re-wrote it, and it can handle most tracks so much better than before, and there is more of a sense of tension when fighting a vehicle for 1st place. Now, this is the first public release of it, so there are going to be some issues, so please don't hesitate to post about them either on Steam, or on our Discord! We are going to be fixing and polishing up as much as we can these last few weeks before the 1.0 release.
Now, one thing that I know a lot of people will notice is the performance if you are not on a beefy machine. We are not done optimizing the game yet. We know that on several tracks, there are major performance dips (most notably Cosmo Casino and Holographic Highway). We have a few tricks up our sleeves and will be addressing that as much as we can by 1.0, but there is also a possibility it will be a patch very shortly after 1.0.
Please, please, please, report any and all bugs you find, let us know how the CPU behaviors feel as we work on them a bit more. We are aiming to make this launch as good as possible, and we need your help and support to do that.
Thank you so much!
