Test Build has been updated to v1.23 Release Candidate 1. If you would like to try out this build you can find instructions on how to do so here: http://www.ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2594&pid=6237#pid6237
So what is new since v1.22.3? The minor upgrade from v1.22.3 mostly includes bug fixes, a rebalancing of the racing and contract revenues due to bugs, and a rewrite of the tutorial framework.
The main tutorial has been rewritten to simplify the reading level, thus making it easier to understand. I've also changed the looks of the tutorial windows, implemented a highlighting system, and added an audio reading of the tutorials (currently incomplete, will hire someone to do better recordings).
The new framework for tutorials will allow me to expand upon the tutorial system. It will allow me to create mini-tutorials for various features in the game as we near completion.
Even if you know the game like the back of your hand, give the new tutorial a try. Let me know if there are any issues. I will be deeply grateful. Thanks
