GRIP Early Access Release v.1.0.11.1 is now live!
-
In this patch there are big improvements to vehicle stability, AI competitiveness, race cameras and low-end PC performance. Plus, a new track on the planet Norvos!
Here is the full changelist for patch 1.0.11.1:
Gameplay:
- Far more stability when driving. The car doesn't react so harshly to collisions (vehicle physics and handling are still a WIP). The issue with the car not gaining traction on curves or slopes (mostly in tunnels) is now fixed as well.
- Large improvements to AI: AI are now more competitive, navigating tracks more easily and avoiding obstacles/collisions. They also recover quicker from crashes
- Race cameras have been improved, and various movement has been added to help with immersion and sense of speed. Recovery is also more intuitive.
Levels:
- New Racetrack set on the planet Norvos!
- Transport: Added more detailed structures (still WIP), improved lighting overall
- Yuri Industrial: Added some meshes, improved lighting overall
- Basin/Biodome/Festive: Improved lighting
Visual:
- Cinematic/recap cameras are improved, with more dynamic angles and sweeping shots, as well as controlled zoom
- Greatly improved the small tunnel asset in Jahtra tracks
- Cars now have visibly sandy/dirty/snowy tires when on terrain
- Updated starting gate to be more detailed
Pickups:
- Missile navigation has been improved, with them more aptly avoiding environmental hazards
Audio:
- New music track! "Pragmatic - Going Down"
Optimization/fixes:
- Optimized vehicle meshes, all particle effects and many level assets. Performance on lower spec machines should be much better now
- The incoming missile indicator is now a flashing icon above the speedo, rather than the borders of the screen turning red
- Fixed shield staying in world when car is destroyed. Also, two shields now cannot be picked up at the same time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming in the next few months:
- Pick-up balancing
- Calming vehicle vs environment collisions
- A new vehicle from the "Cygon" manufacturer
- Completely redesigned menu with much better setup and functionality
- Basic vehicle customization
- An additional weapon
- Additional racetracks on Liddo5 and Jahtra
- Multiplayer!
