This time our main focus was on the AI. We improved a lot on how the NPC characters behave and drive. We also balanced which NPC can drive on which track. In our game NPC has 3 levels of skill: Amateur, Pro and Revheads. In this update we set which type of NPC can drive on which track to make sure each track give better challenge and also you will get more challenging opponents in Challenge mode or in harder tracks. Starting is easier, but pro tracks are more difficult and need better cars to keep up with NPC. Backyard is for testing and beginners, so you don't have to use the best car, but you have to watch for the amateurs around you. On the other hand, if you go to Gutta Raceway Park, you will only see Pro and Revheads, with a lot faster cars and smoother driving skills from them. Hope you will like the way we balanced the opponents and tracks.
