Hello Racers, More cool stuff to improve gameplay:

Wild-Ride Mode

-its Slow Motion actions have been added in the game, so you can check them on and have cool cinematics while jumping:

Anytime, you can uncheck them.

Here you can see slow-mo and camera cinematics actions with Wild-Ride Mode turned on:

Polished braking sounds at off-road terrains

Braking sounds wasn't working pretty well, so it's been polished, both hand brake and normal brake now works much cooler:

Also, a very important thing is that no more too much of raindrops VFX

overlay for the mud/dirt effects (wet puddles actually on roads) since too much rain VFX impacting gameplay, it's cool to have it from time to time when crosses waters and that's it (in the previous video, it's with many raindrops, you can see how unclear screen is, as of many spots of rain, so that's now fixed).

So this is now balanced and you can enjoy the clear picture since some of the levels with a lot of mud/dirt were ruined as like 50% was rain VFX over the screen.

No more Motion Blur effects

No matter I polished it into smooth actions they are definitely doing too much damage to the game, since they making too many visual distractions, so I turned them off and you can enjoy a smooth ride.

I concluded this, as I saw that many of the recent racers don't have these effects like before decades.

Too many VFX can create contra-productive effects. This is also a follow-up on some previous feedbacks, even some of them lasting from game publishing (before I put option to turn off Blur), so hope you'll play and enjoy the cooler game.
