The 6th prototype (again, not a typo!), pre-alpha version Prototype: Airwaves is now out! We added some polish after receiving a lot of feedback from the builds of the previous version. These polishes include:

• Improved steering controls.

  • Default controls has been loosened based on feedback indicating it was too sensitive.

  • A new options menu allows adjusting the sensitivity of the controls.

• Updated track textures and vehicle particle effects to provide more context.

  • Track texture now indicates which way is forward.

  • The trail particle that appears below the vehicle when grounded changes when it’s drifting.

• New track generation features: oscillation. This new feature generates wave-like formations.

• Changed how drift will be interrupted. Instead of canceling immediately after hitting a wall or obstacle, it cancels when either:

  • One hits a wall or obstacle 3 or more times, or

  • Speed drops dramatically.

• And more!

Unfortunately, attempting to update the WebGL build has proved to be a nightmare, so it’s currently on hold. We’re working hard on bringing it back, but we have been dealing with one problem after another with it.
