Hey Trailmakers!
If you’ve been playing the game you’ve probably been eagerly watching the next update timer countdown for your next installment of Trailmakers content. Here at Flashbulb we’ve made the really tough decision to push the release of this update back and rather than give you two smaller updates in a month, we’ll roll it in to one larger update which will contain a mix of both new content, highly requested features and, most importantly - a whole host of bug fixes and performance improvements.
But why? 😢
This is not a decision we take lightly, but we simply want our players to have the best possible experience when playing Trailmakers. Whether that be in single player Expedition, or having a four player drag race with friends. This delay will allow us to deliver a much more optimal experience both for existing players and also new players joining the world of Trailmakers.
For the curious amongst you, here are some of the features from our next update!
- We’ve heard your complaints in regards to performance and we've gone to great lengths with the coming update to provide players with a much better experience.
- Made several improvements to multiplayer performance.
- Made more optimisations in regards to input lag.
- A whole host of quality of life changes to the builder - including being able to nudge a block by one space.
- Made our error messages much more informative and useful.
- Steam Workshop support for Blueprints!
- We’ve added controller support for build mode and generally improved the game experience when using a controller.
- Completely reworked keybinding set up.
- A new asphalt only Race Track on Race Island.
- We now have multiple leaderboards for each Race depending on the amount of Power Cores used.
- Improved the way Blueprints are displayed.
- More bug fixes than you can shake a rusty wrench at!
Once we get closer to releasing this update we’ll provide a full list of patch notes so you can see everything that’s changed. We really can’t wait to give you all this update as it will provide players with a greatly improved experience whilst also giving us a great foundation to work from and add the exciting stuff we have planned for the future!
But what if I can’t wait?
For those of you who want to be at the forefront of Trailmakers, we’re putting a new build on our Upcoming Branch which only includes the Steam Workshop part of the update! Please keep in mind this is very much an in development version and you will almost certainly have weird things happen. But we’d love for you to create some awesome vehicles and share them with everyone and let us know on our Discord when things go wrong!
