Hey everyone, BallisticNG 0.7 is now out and available to everyone! This is another huge update, bringing more updated content that raises the quality bar and of course brings fully supported custom tracks with Workshop support!
This update has taken the longest of all our major updates to develop so far, a lot of love and care has gone into this to improve everything. The full changelog is below.
A huge thanks to everyone for the continued support. We hope you love this update and we can't wait to see what people can come up with for custom tracks!
Important Note
There is currently a bug in the most up to date version of Unity that makes the dropdowns invisible on ingame menus. The main menu is intact. We consider this to be a large problem but we are not sure when Unity will have a fix up so we're releasing this now and will update the game as soon as Unity fix the problem.
