This is one of the biggest maps yet, whole 768x768m, and it's the first to have room for multiple circuit layouts for different racing disciplines. Coming to the demo soon!

That's the first house asset that I've made for a racing circuit.
I'm currently working on creating more time-attack maps into the game. Could be related to the fact that I've just implemented pacenotes... But tsss! That's a secret!

Graphics development tip:
Never develop on Nvidia GPU. Driver is too forgiving, and the moment you test your perfectly functional code on anything else it just break into pieces

Don't know why but I'm really proud of this handbrake cable model xD
New items coming to the game: Brake cable, wheel bearings, and brake hoses. You can guess what can break down now!

More split-screen screenshots

I've repurposed multiplayer lobby UI for it. Compared to multiplayer though, it doesn't use cars from your garage, you're free to choose any car you want, but there's no damage or tuning sadly

I've managed to bring back split screen support. It was rotting away for months now, with ghosts of its existence creeping around the code. Took a couple of hours to get it to render all the new features

This is the first track in game that isn't off-road. It does take a lot more patience and precision to make these more precise curves, specially considering that my level editor is not exactly suited for that

More cars now have different color variations

I haven't posted for a while since I'm preparing the game for the demo release, and that involves a lot of bug fixes, stuff I can't showcase.
Speaking of which - I'm in search of testers. Write me a DM if you're interested to try out the game

I had to implement 3d text rendering just for this results screen.
I don't think I'll use 3d text anywhere else, but I think 4 hours spent on it are worth it
