Greetings, Racers!
Update v1.9 is now available!
This update introduces three brand-new tracks, brings two Grand Tour-exclusive tracks to additional game modes, improves the menus, adds a new way to play as the police, and introduces enhanced Boost and Jump mechanics.
Take on three new racing locations:
Greystone Trail
Cliffside Run
Industrial Complex
Two tracks that were previously exclusive to Grand Tour can now be played in other game modes:
Unknown
Auhero Dark
The Challenges menu has been redesigned with a cleaner layout, making it easier to track your progress and encouraging players to complete every challenge.
Players who achieve 100% game completion will now unlock a Trophy Room, where you can proudly display all of the cars you've earned along with your Grand Tour Trophy.
You can now choose to play as the Police in standard races and have some fun chasing down CPU racers.
Single Player: Police can bust CPU racers in 1.5 seconds.
Local Multiplayer: Bust time is 3.75 seconds for better balance between players.
To make chases more intense and competitive, the police bust time in Cops & Robbers has been reduced from 4.0 seconds to 3.75 seconds.
Both Boost and Jump can now be charged before use.
Charging them provides:
A stronger speed boost.
A higher jump.
If you prefer the original gameplay, don't worry, the standard Boost and Jump are still available with a simple tap. Charging is completely optional, giving you more control without changing the core feel of the game.
Additionally, the cooldown for both abilities has been reduced from 5 seconds to 3 seconds, allowing for more frequent use.
These improvements make modes like Ball Game and Battle even more fast-paced, chaotic, and fun.
While I still highly recommend playing with a controller for the best experience, keyboard controls have received significant improvements in this update.
Vehicle handling has been refined to provide much smoother and more responsive steering, making it easier to control your car and far more enjoyable to play using a keyboard than before.
That's everything included in Update v1.9.
Thank you for playing Daily Driven Racer, and I hope you enjoy the new tracks, features, and gameplay improvements.
Peace.
