Debugging missing car engine sounds and overall sounds FX tunings
Engine sounds FX of the cars in "Arizona Derby" using licensed FMOD Studio, used by top AAA racing games. Sounds were custom-designed for over 80 cars, for every one of the gears and idle sounds, all sampled manually and set out to the perfections over time, so it giving the game a great hype and atmosphere, but in last few builds I just confirming saw its missing and I debug it. In Editor all is good just something messed out with build, so testing over endless builds today to fix this issue since sounds is like 30% of overall excitement (one guy said me today it's like real F1 cars).
Here is how it should sounds:

And this is how it sounds car idle engine FX of few different cars in the menu: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m4SdkjqK-8h8_2veDj-XVOjL9aczcL1T
Working on this to debug and update patch as soon as possible, then I will roll back previous patch (which made shallow waters at some Tropical Storm tracks, also I will look and test more around deep waters at the other levels, so this water depth will less impact smooth gameplay, some player find many creative ways to go over them, congrats!).
Overall Sound FX tunings
Due to fact that Arizona Derby has thousand of the sounds, aside of FMOD custom sounds, and due to huge scope and content of the game, sounds FX levels tunings will be done over the upcoming period.
All players have the possibility to Pause game (ESC/Back button on the controller) and to set Sound FX, Music level and Voiceover level in-game and this will be stored. Also in Main Menu, there is a similar possibility in the Options menu.
Some of the sound FX levels still will be tuned, some are already (like jet sounds that ripping skies and many others).
New Sound Tracks
And regarding current Soundtrack, it's made with the game, it has the soul of the game in it, every word is custom-tailored and produced over years with Texas rap artist TxMic, for which we're eternally grateful:

However, someone does not like hip-hop beats (and we fully respect this just we don't have the time as of huge overall content), but we have in mind that and soon will do.
So these things are in preparation and soon to be updated, currently in-game is 12 hip-hop tracks and one remix when we finish all for a new bunch of sounds, we will do the patch, so there would be like 10-20 more sounds of all different and exciting genres, which will bring diversity to the game and boil racing atmosphere.
And again, if some of you guys don't love hip-hop just please go to the Settings in the Pause menu and turn them off (or lower down).
Yours,
AD Team
