v0.1.1 Patch Notes

Patch Notes:

  • Reduced build size by around 50% by crunch compressing many large textures and removing some unused lightmaps.

  • Improved game performance. On my GTX 1070ti PC, I'm seeing double the fps improvement (~60fps > 130fps) on Ultra quality settings, so I hope this remedies some issues on low-end hardware.

  • Cats should no longer fall through the floor when crashing at high speed.

  • All cats should now be easier to control. Turning should be much less sensitive and drifting now requires less effort to start, but more effort to keep going.

  • AI opponents should now be more merciful. Their rubberbanding is more intense on lower difficulties.

  • Updated the Controls screen. It is now called the "How To Play" screen.

  • Added some more directional arrows, specifically to the technical City Park section of the Big City track.

Known Issues:

  • There may be some flickering lighting when racing in Big City. This is due to low-quality lighting combined with LODs, which are both part of the performance improvements. If this becomes too annoying for some, I will fix this in future.

  • There are LOD issues on lower-quality settings, but tbh this is expected to help those on low-end hardware.

  • Still no pause menu. There will be one in the full game though!

This will be the final jam build as I will focus on creating the full game!

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
