A few updates to the race assets - New start/finish line (with a bobbing up and down animation), checkpoint markers move back and fourth (inspired by Midnight Club), and updated the colors of everything to be more cohesive. Still want to update UI stuff, audio and other things.

I think I'm mostly done with the trees now. Kaido Genkai looks a lot more lush, and I fixed some performance issues that resulted from using Material Billboards (rotating all the sprites at a material level instead now - way less expensive).

The updated trees really improve the look of the game! Still WIP. Thanks for the suggestions, ya'll!

Which tree do you like more? Left (3D) or Right (sprite based)?

Items now spin and bob up and down (and sparkle a little bit). Thanks for the feedback!

Adding collectables & items to the game! Testing a peach first as a nod to Road Trip Adventure (my beloved). I want items to be flat/icons to fit the PS2 style, but.. should I also make them spin? Not sure if its fine or if I'm overthinking.

Racing kei cars is kinda ridiculous and I hope you're here for it like I am. (Also don't worry, there are plenty of bigger cars in the game too..)

This is still my favourite area in game. You won't get to drive here till later, though.

A big part of the game is driving up to other cars and talking. Kinda like.. an RPG.

I added a randomized delay to the lights, so at night they don't all turn on at the exact same moment. It was super jarring before and this way looks much better! Was really simple to add, don't know why I didn't think of it before.

Delivering tofu would be a little on the nose, so... Dango deliveries?

This was the original concept if anyone is curious. I opted away from the log book since making illustrations for every objective would add too much scope.

I think I'm mostly done with the objectives menu! It populates from the game's completion structure, so I don't have to update it manually, which is awesome.

Been months since I worked on the objectives screen, but I did some updates on it today! Still rough around the edges, but this is the new concept.

Did a little banner trade with our friends @mach1game.bsky.social! You'll find KG's advertising in their game, and vice versa. Pretty neat futuristic cel-shaded racer they have going on. Here's pics of both~
