Hello racers, here is what we have in this third update:
Weekly challenge
Starting now, we’ll have some weekly challenges for you! Each week, participate in a worldwide time trial on a selected track with turbos. We’ll post the winner’s race replay on our youtube and twitch channel. On the main game screen, you can access the week’s challenge, or see winners from previous weeks. Later on, we may consolidate the scores into an on-going championship leaderboard.
New weapons
We added EMP to your weapon arsenal! Coming next is a killer drone, that you can send out to slow down the race leader.
We also added an energy bar to up the tension during combat races. You can now “eat” options with the left controller’s button to regain energy if required.
More tracks
We added HPG Australia Circuit for simracers, and Kovas Prime Reverse for combat mode fans. You now have ten tracks to choose from. More tracks are in the works, and we are experimenting with bends and jumps for sensation hungry players.
News Feed on main screen
Steam community news are now displayed on the main screen, so you don’t have to go to the site to check out the latest posts about the game.
Various other tweaks…
We tuned the engine sound a little, added distorsion to get something closer to a bike engine, as requested by several of you.
We also added some shake effects to the bike when racing out of the track or getting hit by weapons.
There are also weapon icons on the HUD, providing visual feedback about which option you currently have.
Have fun!
