Last weekend I showed Absolute Drift at PAX Prime in Seattle and got to see many players try the game. I even got to see a few people who have beat it which was pretty awesome.
One of the things I was reminded of is that the learning curve is very high and I also learned how frustrating the Driftkhana Tutorial is for players.
Here is the new update which is in Beta. One of the noticeable changes is a difficulty setting. The default controls are Hard.
Please try it and post up in the forums with feedback.
Improvements:
- Added a setting to change the screen resolution.
- Added a setting to change the DIFFICULTY of the controls. The old controls are the same as Hard difficulty.
- Redesigned the layout of the tutorial.
- Added a timer to the Driftkhana tutorial which will automatically unlock the next challenge type after 1 minute.
- Made the camera look further in front of the car.
- Implemented anti-cheat software which prevents modifying values to points, time and laps in memory.
- Spin-Zones & Spin missions are now more consistent and fair when calculating spins.
- Donuts & Donut missions are now more consistent and fair when calculating drifting.
