GRIP Early Access Release v.1.0.8 is now live!
-
Another big patch that has plenty of improvements and additions!
The biggest changes include a new car, large improvements to the vehicle driving model, reverse and mirror mode for the tracks, overall better ingame audio, as well as gamepad navigation working properly in the menus.
Here is the full changelist for patch 1.0.8:
Gameplay:
- New car! The tank class vehicle is now available to drive.It is a bit slower off the line, but has a higher top speed and less twitchy handling compared to the first vehicle
- Improved drivability: The vehicles now behave more predictably when colliding with walls or other cars, and are more enjoyable to drive in general (car physics and handling are WIP)
- New Game Modes! In the race setup options, you are now able to enable reverse and/or mirror mode.The existing tracks feel and look very different with these enabled, so give it a try!
- Destructible vehicles: In the race setup menu, you can now enable vehicles to be destroyed, making the race not only about winning, but also about staying alive
