Meet the Terra Rhino
After some extensive testing in the private branch on Steam, GRIP's latest update is revved n' ready to roll
This has been a long time coming, but the various improvements to the game will be both felt and seen. Here's a list of the biggest things this patch brings to the game:
- Brand spankin' new, 6-wheeled car to roll through your competition with. Meet the Terra Rhino

- Plenty of track work with improvements to flow, collision and visuals
- Improved pickup balancing and usage
- Full gamepad support, including in the menus
- 4 player split-screen support, including a keyboard + gamepads (keyboard must be player 1)
- Added a Create Tournament button which can be used in multiplayer games as well
- Updated the garage with more customization and view options
- New UI animations and effects
- Updated HUD with font less prone to issues

To all of our players, thank you for supporting us, and we hope you'll like what we've got coming when the game launches November 6th!
We'll have more news about the game including some great additions to the soundtrack, the collector's edition and more as we get closer to release
EDIT:
Some noteworthy issues/bugs with the game are listed below
- You may experience a crash, but these are very rare. Do let us know if it happens!
- The player progress bar and level is a placeholder for when we introduce more cars and items in the garage to unlock. You may see a "Item unlocked" popup, but it's a bug. We'll be fixing that one shortly
- There are still issues with multiplayer UI, especially with custom tournaments
- Player avatars may not show up in multiplayer lobbies
- LAN games sometimes do not work
- You may see textures pop in. For most people this happens very quickly, but may take longer for others
NOTE:
We will be increasing the price of the game later this week to work our way up to the $29.99 USD launch price on November 6th
