Hey,
In the previous announcement I said the next update would be out pretty soon but we decided that instead of throwing that smaller update out there we'll focus on our last big engine improvement so we can finally be done with big engine work before launch.
This improvement is a rewrite of our race mode system that will enable any number of new race modes. We think this is a very important thing to do as it will add a huge possibility for variety in race types for the lifetime of the game and even at launch. Instead of just race and time trial we can continue to add new modes and try new rules going forward with this work done!
In parallell we'll of course continue to fix any important issues in the public and beta builds out today but no new functionality will be added to those before the big one is complete. But please continue to try to make tracks among yourselves and you can keep each other entertained while you wait :)
So, that's our plans for now! We'll be back with updates as we have them.
Race on!
