Hey Racers, hope you enjoyed the trailer above!
Many of you have probably questioned where the latest version of Corona is and why it has taken so long for a new update to come out, and I'd like to answer why.
When I originally published the first version of Corona MotorSport here, I was not fully satisfied with what I created and even though the game was and is in early access, it wasn't up to my standards. Nearly every update after that felt rushed and I often had to scrap planned features and fixes and continue to push them back to future updates. I ultimately decided to start from scratch and rebuild the game from the ground up, making sure everything works the way it should as efficiently as possible.
I spent countless hours remodeling vehicles. Specifically the low-poly models. I got rid of the crappy texture-mapped panel gaps and replaced them with real panel gaps. I added details, optimized models and created proper logos and badging for all the cars.
I added life-like trees to replace the cheap billboard trees in Monza, and while it may come with a performance impact, I think it looks gorgeous and brings like to the track. I replaced outdated grandstand and building models in Monza and added a pit garage.
I fixed countless bugs and only a few remain, no more glitching through maps or spawning into oblivion. I'll save the rest of this for the build notes...
In addition to all of this, my life has been pretty hectic these past few months as I go through my final year of high school and the process of applying to colleges as well as working on several other projects, both for my company and for others.
Anyways, I look forward to providing continued updates for Corona and finishing it in these next few months. I have very big things planned for release this year so stay tuned!
Also, pick up a copy of Corona if you haven't already, get it while its on sale for Lunar New Year!
