Hello racers, here is what we have in this second update:
More tracks!
One of the top requests was to have more content in the game. So we’re starting to cover that with two brand new tracks: Kovas Prime is set on a desert planet and is great for arcade combat mode. It is more challenging than Vigo and Neopolis, with more slopes. HPG Malaysia Circuit is for simracers, based on the real Sepang track. We also added Vigo and Neopolis reverse tracks for those who are hungry enough. We have more tracks in the works coming in the next release!
In game photo mode
Pause the game while racing or on the replay screen and you’ll be able to step into the scene, move around and take shots of the bikes and environment to share on your steam profile. These shots will also appear in the screen captures on the community hub. Remember we need to get the word out about the game, and screenshots help a lot. So let’s see how good you are at making these bikes look great! Share your best screenshots on the hub and vote for other players screenshots! We’ll also post the best ones on our facebook page regularly, with your steam nickname on them.
Simulation rate at 90FPS
We’ve upped the game simulation rate from 50FPS to 90FPS. Some players reported that although the rendering rate was 90FPS on their machines, it felt like the game was actually at 50FPS. It may be hard to notice for some, but increasing the simulation rate to match the rendering rate results in a smoother experience.
Free Ride game mode
Some of you want to be able to race for 15 laps instead of 2 in time trial. Or to have turbos. Or not to have turbos in combat mode. We added a “free ride” mode that lets you choose exactly how you want to race: lap count, opponent count, turbos, weapons? You decide!
Localization
The game is now available in spanish and chinese. If you want it in yet another language and can help with translation, please contact us!
Next update is planned for end of may.
Have fun!
