Reverted an increased sensitivity change on shifting inputs that caused some shifts to be reversed due to stick bounceback · Fixed an issue where the game could lock if alt-tabbing during a scene transition · Updated water lighting in some Vapor City based levels The stick sensitivity is back to the baseline before this update. If you liked how it was before this patch, you can increase your sh…
This is the biggest update for NEODRIVE so far! It contains a giant new area, a completely new car, and new tracks for both the city area and the Lancier specifically. 3-1 Lancier Test Track Depending on how much the community likes the Lancier, I may skew the rest of the campaign towards tracks for it instead of the muscle car. Also new to this update is the base track area of Vapor City. Seve…
I'm still working on the next update, which will be large and involve a leaderboard wipe (sorry, I gotta nerf that nitro rushing/shift spam). Here's a little teaser of something that will be in it, though! A completely new car with very different handling.
This update contains a new track, Water Snake II. It's a slightly tweaked version of the track segments in the Manual Tutorial level. Also, I rebuilt parts of Water 8 with optimized meshes and removed a skip. It's now a 2-lap track, so I had to wipe the leaderboards. All Changes · added a new Stage 3 track, Water Snake II · rebuilt Water 8 · fixed a bug in the Manual Tutorial · made some tutori…
This update improves the replay and leaderboard ghost experience. The shift indicator addition is in preparation for refactoring of the nitro gain to eliminate boost farming, but that will come in a later update with plenty of warning. All Changes · add speed, RPM and gear indicators to replay chase cam · pause game on focus loss · when racing a leaderboard ghost, split comparisons are shown re…
I added a chase cam to the replay viewer. It's now the default for watching replays and will have almost all the effects as the normal race cam. I probably won't add a dashboard to the replay viewer, but I'm going to add some speed/RPM/gear stats in the next update. All Changes · Don't emit tire smoke if underwater · Add a replay chase cam · Fix emission on replay/ghost car brake lights · Stand…

Leaderboard ghosts are here! Struggling to see how someone got a certain time? Want to pace yourself against one of your friends? Now you can. You can now view and play against other people's ghosts on the leaderboards by opening the new Leaderboards menu in-race and selecting their entry. To switch or remove the leaderboard ghost you're competing against, just select Reload Race from the pause…
I added a new track to Stage 0, Windmill Run. It's a long, winding high-speed track that takes you from one end of the desert area to another. All Changes · increased readability of car customization UI · Added a new track, Windmill Run · added keyboard controls for in-game cameras · made the controller vibrate less if the car is hydroplaning · optimized the Lake Tangle series of tracks · made…
I added a new track to Stage 2, Lake Tangle 0. It's a two-lap circuit that winds between the Lake Tangle tracks and their new support pillars. It's technical and requires actual braking, but is signposted and has guardrails. · Improved car stability when bumping walls · Fixed an issue where the car could bottom out and bounce off the track on a concave curve (i.e. a tight turn or the inside of…
Added colored smoke for some wheels · Added colored skids for some wheels · Added the ability to see playing ghosts in a race without restarting · Added basic vibration support for PS5 controllers (trigger haptics are a whole other can of worms) · Fixed a bug where tracks with gold medal override times could change how the author time was displayed in the main menu · Added support for more fram…
fixed an issue where the car could be sped up or slowed down when driving towards the outside of a twisting magnetic track · some internal Steam logic consolidation to prepare for backend switching (which will in turn possibly enable leaderboard ghosts)
Recognize this view? I turned the small level I made for the title track into a Stage 4, based on its existing difficulty level. All Changes · fixed an issue where the car could be flung off a magnetic track if the start or end of the track was pointing at the car’s current position · added a new track, Title Track · uploaded a new build of the demo. no new tracks, but it has the tow hook charm…
This update brings a fun new Stage 4 track, as well as a new type of cosmetics: Tow Hook Charms. I'll let you discover the existing ones for yourself. More are planned, as well as more achievements to unlock them. Camera behavior has also been tweaked to improve lookahead on convex magnetic surfaces, as well as many more things under the hood, as it were. All Changes · added a new multilap trac…
fixed a bug where you could navigate the tutorials without closing the initial shift mode dialog · allowed righting the car by turning left/right if it’s upside down I'll be trying to stick to 1 new track per week (ish) to finish the campaign in 6 months. Hopefully it will go faster than that, but you never know! I will also be regularly fixing bugs and adding quality-of-life things though, and…
made camera snappier when rotating its local up vector to match the car’s up vector · re-recorded the author ghost on Loop Transfer · fixed camera following so it wouldn’t clip into the track if the car was following a convex rollercoaster track at high speeds
0.10.126 - Visibility & Consistency This patch improves lighting and camera behavior, as well as some improvements to handling when landing on boost pads. You'll still need to land with at least one wheel and not bounce the nose off the track, but landings, especially on Second Inversion, should feel much more consistent now. I also updated camera feel. In my code to smooth it, I had accidental…
First Track Update (+Bugfixes) · Added a new track to Stage 2, Second Inversion · fixed a UI bug where time splits would be displayed incorrectly on multilap tracks · optimized garbage collection on frequently-updating timer UI elements · fixed a bug where disconnecting the controller or opening the Steam overlay would open the pause menu when it wouldn’t ordinarily be allowed to open · removed…
