Build 25702558

0.6.0

Live on Steam now. Update to play.

Handling

- Drifting is rebuilt on simple rules: tok-tok and cuts share the same physics on every kart, U-turn drifts swing past 90°, and a New cut keeps you drifting while you hold Shift.

- Every race is now two laps.

- Time Attack and Drift boards start fresh, and rivals are retuned.

New courses

- Salt Depot, Gallery Run, Spillway, Pumpworks and three solo mazes.

- Wormhole, Rewind and Gauntlet online, under Prototypes.

Modes

- ITEMS: race rivals with item pickups on any course.

- TEAM SPEED: fill your team meter for 5-second team boosts.

Online

- Chat from any menu, top-10 Time Attack announcements, and Steam friend parties that follow the leader into rooms.

- Rooms seat 16 and fill to eight with bots. Hosts can kick, turn bots off or hand the room over.

- Build a course in the track editor and race it online (unranked).

- R keeps you on the road, and stray karts reset themselves.

Garage and looks

- Press U to tune your kart or load a mod (records are off while one is active).

- Fresh looks for four courses, lit karts at night, Cinder and Pulsejet boosters, and more songs.

- Recent races, online ones too, are saved as replays.

Performance

- Full races run much smoother on CPU-limited PCs: on our test PC at Low, Neon went from about 64 to over 90 fps.

- Low turns off shadows and volumetric fog, courses only draw what you can see, and kart models are lighter.

Fixes

- Block edges no longer launch you into the sky.

- On a Windows crash, a window offers to send us a report. Nothing is sent unless you press Send.

0.5.0 and 0.6.0 can't race each other online, so update to play together.
