Hello racers!
See what I did there? Anyway, surprise! Our small hotfix update turned into a pretty packed regular update! We've worked incredibly hard on improving the game performance in this update. Some low-end hardware might even see 200% increases in framerate! We've also made race versions of a couple of tracks improved a few other tracks with more details and destruction and given collision FX and the feel of racing on loose surface an audio overhaul. There's even more so check the full notes below!
New!
- Significant improvments to performance. Some players may see almost a 200% increase in framerate.
- Framerate stabilized. There should be a lot less (if any) stuttering, jittering, speedups slowdowns and uneven frame pacing.
- Added race versions of track "Kyomu Woods" and "Oasis" (no crossovers or oil).
- Improved track "The Village" for racing.
- Made cactuses and rolling bushes destructable and added new effects for that.
- Resetting the car back on track now flashes the car for 3 seconds and makes sure no collisions happen until the car is free from other cars.
- Added 6 more songs. The full song list for launch is now included in the game!
- Improved impact effect and collision sounds and how they were played.
- Driving on loose surfaces now has a dynamic sound effect.
- Added permanent ambience sound during races for a more interesting sound backdrop.
Fixed
- Fixed crash in editor when editing track description.
- Fixed crash in editor when changing brush alpha.
- The ghost car is now more transparent so it shouldn't interfere with races as much.
- Cleaned up which portraits are used for opponents.
- Moved car overlays out of the way of the car a bit and removed agro icons that noone understood.
I love how the game is starting to feel more polished and more ready to release for every week now and I hope it's the same for you!
