v0.3.1 and roadmap

Hey, driftheads!

v0.3.1 brings new sponsor for levels 1 to 45. Easy greens, check it out. Full changelog is in its thread.

We haven't heard of a crashing bug for some time already. People say it's working now. Nicely done! :D

As far as general issues seem to be fixed, moving further.

  • We heard you about pretty tight f2p system, with not so many opportunities to get cash. Starting to add new sponsors already with pretty generous prizes. Also, we're gonna introduce a new type of events, work name "Marcus challenges", where you will be awarded different custom stuff for your car, like suspension, gearbox and so on. Working to add more greens to the economy.
  • Car models are in the process of changing their bodies to look more like real-world prototypes. Also, we're thinking of ways how steam workshop will operate. At the moment, we have curated workshop and we can sell cars directly for real-world money, giving authors a share. Would like to hear your opinion on this.
  • Vehicle dynamics is going to be changed a lot. We've refactored almost every aspect, body rolls and accelerations, gearbox, aerodynamics, new tire model and much more. This should solve all current "physics issues". More updates on dynamics update later.
  • Engine sounds are going to be replaced. We're trying a different approach on sound engine, should be a relief for ears.
  • We've got some new tracks already which we need to polish a bit, check performance and publish it.
  • Teams and Drifting Series are on their way, more detailed update on each later.

Sorry for communication lag, lots of stuff to be done. Thank you for your support and keep drifting fun!
