Devlog: Latest on College Update

Track Star · published 31 Jul 2026, 13:16 UTC

Just wanted to share another short video on where I'm at with the college update.

Here's a rundown of what's been added:

  • Team Colors - Definitely want to add more color to the game and am stating by including the team colors everywhere team text shows up.

  • Updated Meet Scoring - In first pass, meet scoring was just random number generator, it has now been dialed in so it responds to the meet simulation and is aligned with how T&F really works.

  • Team/Coach Effects - This is in its infancy, but in dual meets your coach now provides you a gentle instruction (take it easy this week; we need this win; etc.) and you'll get a small mentality bonus or penalty for both the meet result and following instructions. Whenever I add a feature like this, I make the bonus a bit trivial to start. More to come.

  • Last But Not Least - Balancing - After some helpful playtesting from the community and many automated sim runs from me, I think we nailed the game balance so that high school to college freshman and college freshman to senior year feel natural in terms of performance gains and competition.

To that end, I've been experimenting with a feature I wanted to add and I think we're ready to go live. Let's get into it.

Track Star was built with laptop players in mind but more than a few players with nice, large monitors have noted the game was not looking its best on those setups. That has been addressed with this update. Key updat…
