Horse Racing Manager · published
Added
- A position hint overlay, that gives the player a general idea of where to run based on their running style. This is turned off by default and can be enabled under Options -> Race & Simulation -> Show position hints when taking the reins
Improved
- Horses get stuck behind slower horses less often. Based on tests, these incidents fell about 95%
- AI-controlled horses run out of stamina much less often
- AI-controlled horses start moving aside earlier to avoid slower traffic
- Balanced running styles so that AI-controlled horses are now much more even at all distances. Picking the "right" running style for a certain distance is now much less of a win condition. NOTE: Tested in laboratory conditions with a perfectly equal field. Your mileage may vary
- In home screen added more stuff the assistant manager/intern warns about
- In race settings you can now turn off the mode that when you are taking reins it replaces the jockey with your character
- In horse details, highlight the quick actions like auto training etc. so it's clearer what is pressed and what is not
- In standings for racecourse also have a track record table
- Crime is now based on the relationship with staff, staff with good relationship with you wont steal
- Improvements to pedigree tree, where you can also choose what is visible on the cards
- Changed how betting works in the background a bit to make it more efficient
- In market there is also now a shelter tab where you can quick buy horses in the shelter
- Extended demo playtime from a month to a year
Fixed
- Some scaling issues for extremely big worlds (150K horses)
- A bug that caused the player's target speed to jump to 100% under certain conditions during a race
- A bug that sometimes caused a healthy horse to slow down to a crawl
- If the user had race day on same day as horse got sick, they would get a withdrawn email even if there was a possibility for the horse to race
- Retired horses was counted in the eligible horses that the assistant manager told
- Player got toasts for emails that they did not do decisions for (when jockey)
- Removed unused mood column
- Buying horses from horse shelter should work a bit better
