Hello racers, here is another update to the game!

LIVERIES

We've updated the liveries for all bikes. They were created with the livery editor that we are still testing and plan to integrate in the game so you can go wild and customize your bike to your own tastes, choosing colors, decals and logos that you like.

NEW TRACK - REAH

Reah is the first of a series of space tracks designed to provide more extreme sensations. We started with an "easy" one, with bends and slopes. the next one will be in the same environment but feature loops and jumps.

PHOTO MODE UPDATES

We added the ability to tweak exposure and depth of field after taking a screenshot in the photo mode. Once you have captured your shot, you can now adjust exposure, focal distance, focal length and aperture using the thumbsticks. You can also point at a part of the image and press the trigger to set the focus. We also added more image fx to make your shots shine, including vignetting, chromatic aberration and grain. These effects are also present in the replays of your race.

VISUAL QUALITY TWEAKS

We revisited the tracks to add detail textures, improving the overall visual quality of the tracks. These details also help conveying the sensation of speed while racing. We tweaked the shaders on the bikes and the drivers to make them a bit sharper and shinier.

MULTIPLAYER - SAVE THE DATE: Feb 23rd

You will see in the menus that we are planning a second test week-end for the multiplayer testing on feb 23rd. We've been holding multiplayer back for a while, because we were worried that the experience would be deceptive since the user base is still small. But some of you convinced us that we should just let go and release it, and we listened to them.
