Hey Racers, long time! Have you been cravin' a race or a little ramen?
Big Changes
- Added Gun Shop - You can now purchase new guns at any point while in New Olympia
- 3 New Podcast Episodes added to the Record Shop
- Halloween Update - Starting on October 1st, this update adds Halloween decorations around the city of New Olympia, and transforms all the enemies in the game to ghoulish monsters
Minor Changes
- Updated End-of-race summary screen to be easier to understand
- Records can now be sold back to the record shop to remove them from the soundtrack
- Updated walking animations in New Olympia
- Gun models are now animated in Weapon Selection Screen
- Weather effects have more visual variety
- Water glistening looks more realistic
Bug Fixes
- Kangaroo herding now pays out correct amount based on how many you killed
- Smoke from hoverbike in Act 1 Hub now flows correctly
- "Nice" Achievement sometimes wouldn't activate, this is fixed
Also previously we had implemented an unlockable weapon, Enzo's 'Soopa-doopa Laza-Bazooka', and New Game + mode with harder racers - so if you haven't seen those yet, more good reasons to come back to New Olympia!
