Hey all.
First off, apologies for the radio silence. We've had our heads down working like madmen for the past few months, now that we've gotten the great support from our publisher Wired Productions. The game is turning into what we first envisioned, and it's very exciting
If you'd like a sneak peek at what we've been doing, we've got the latest version of the game in the "private" branch. Here's how to get it...
(**NOTE**: THE PRIVATE BRANCH VERSION DOES NOT HAVE MULTIPLAYER YET)
Just right click GRIP in Steam, go to properties, betas, then input the code "SnarSn4r5n4r" (without quotes) into the box. Then switch to the PRIVATE branch in the drop down menu and Steam should start downloading it.
I'll be writing up a proper changelist once we push this version to the public branch, but here's a list of some big things we've done:
-Greatly improved vehicle physics and collision
-Vastly improved menu with full gamepad support and additional functionality in the garage
-Greatly improved arena mode and AI, plus an additional arena on Jahtra
-Improved current tracks visuals and flow/collision
-New custom tournament creator allows you to create your own tourneys
-4 player split screen supported, including ability to have one person on keyboard
There are bugs with any version, so be sure to post them in the bug reports section if you encounter any!
Hope you like what we've been doing!
(NOTE: there is a build called "wevecomealongwaybaby" in the beta branches too. That one is one of the first ever builds we did on Steam in 2015, if you'd like to see how far we've come)
