1.5.95c HotFix - Full Controller Support

Also, this patch making loading screens more diverse with instructions in them.
Hotfix 1.4.22a.2: Gameplay Optimisations, Login Fix & Leaderboard Status Report
Hello Off-Road Nation,
The great news is that AD Community getting larger every day.
More and more people submitting top scores to the lists. The situation is intense!
There are extreme competitions for some tracks, especially for the first tracks in Forest Ride Map, there are 826 score submissions, which means so many people have finished in the top 3, to be able to submit a score:
The patch includes optimizations of 116 soundtrack's which are randomly played, while in-game and they were before all loaded into memory, so the overall experience should be smoother since they're streamed now.
Also, the game fixed account log-in Issues to the Steam, which has previous version.
PS. Arizona Derby is not meant to be played on wash machine, at least update wash machine drivers, if you try that and don't expect anything impressive lol
Update 1.3.17c - Controls Remap, Full Controller Support & Menu Speedup
Hi Off-road Nation,
First to say you congrats for hitting the leaderboards in an increased way, over this year, just one of over 30 tracks, has over 800 hits (which mean player need to finish at top 3 places in order to sign the leaderboard at least):
Totally, there's been around 20,000 score submissions to all of 30 leaderboards, which is very exciting news, since it's hard to overtake very smart AI racers at Arizona Derby, even at the lowest levels, but not impossible with training and skills. AI's made to be very challenging all the time.
1) Full Controller Support
and here is how it works: [previewyoutube="FTk3DOTTh0Q;full"]
2) Remapping of the Controls
Based on requests over time, there has been introduced remapping of the car controls, so overall gameplay should be more customized to your needs and you can control much smoother, faster with controls that you use to play other racers. You can remap both keyboard or gamepad control of acceleration, brake, steering, and nitro for now (later on maybe introduced other remaps).
3) Car Menu Glitch
before looks like: [previewyoutube="uOb-AJ2wTcA;full"]
now is: [previewyoutube="a3O5xlThBwI;full"]
Also, I thought about some cool new track's so will see about, although the game has 32 tracks (Dubai has 2 tracks, just there's some issue and will enable both again).
And, don't forget to get into screenshot mode with a drone ('G') and take some great pictures from different angles and apply some of the tens of exciting filters and share it:
AD v1.0 - Full Release Version
Hello Offroad Nation,
We're just getting the full version of 'Arizona Derby', the gameplay gets extremely exciting, all the aspects of the game get ultimately better, in order to reach a great level of immersion and action, all these thanks to your feedback's.
Among many tuning and polishing from the previous month, Arizona Derby addresses hundreds of feedbacks from all players over the previous year in over 44 patches and before that, it addresses feedbacks from pre-early alpha version from thousands of the streamers, content creators and early testers.
The main things that are done aside from some little tunings are loading of the level's textures on start were not raw anymore, but loads in the background: [previewyoutube="psfua06FV_s;full"]
One fresh screen from Siberia for the end (don't forget that by pressing on the 'F' you can take cool screens from current action, apply a variety of FX and filter it perfectly):
Greetings, thanks for the support & see you offroads!
AD Max Speed Gameplay & Leaderboard Progression
Hola Derbians!
Some players asked me and here I posted some random fast speed gameplay with the rig tuned like hell. It's all but not casual racings and don't try this at home's, dudes! :)
[previewyoutube="5XoiKrzTf3Y;full"]
State of the Leaderboards
Btw, there's huge progress in the leaderboards, since a lot of players won top results and currently, record hold the first Forest Ride track, where is submitted 467 top results till today.
On the rest of 30 other tracks, there are average 100 records submitted per track, so estimation is that it's over 3,100 results submitted from all you guys which are great, especially having in mind that AD is all but not simple racer, even on easiest level of AI, so I guess overall it's played over tens of thousands of times so far, or even more. And big congrats to you all guys!
Also, you're progressing through the levels and there are many people who already have a level 20, 30 and more and to not forget few legends, among them Martens78 and Flashbac85, iGame...(sorry if I can't remind now some of many great people who helped to tune game) who devoted a huge part of lives to this game, scoring even level 100.
Overall, AD Community grows larger, there are now 8,310 players and hopes you guys enjoy wildest racings.
Update 2/29:
A few days later on, there has been a rush for the leaderboards and just on Forest Ride 1st track there has been hit almost 500 top players (to hit the list you need to beat the track, to finish in top 3, which is all but not so easy, so congrats to all who did it): Expecting over the weekend this list to grows!! Thanks for playing the game and I work on new updates, which will be for Full Release of the Arizona Derby game soon!
Update for 3/1: Stats spiked over the weekend and it's growing players submitted their score to this particular track, all of the other 31 tracks are being also populated with new scores: Congrats on great and skilled racings! This all get's hotter than I though.
Have ultimate fun off-roads! M1ke
0.99.3f: Near Full Release Update
Hello Off-roaders,
This is a new update that addressing some fine tunings that will make overall gameplay much more intense and as smoothest possible.
First of all thanks for extreme support and positive comments over time, to make this game is very well shape, I read tons of comments, feedbacks and get messages from people in which they told me that game is so great they claim they stop playing regular racers for while, as they dive deep into 'Arizona Derby' and thank you for this guys, sounds really amazing.
We're almost 1.0v with such extended scope of the gameplay and features, that can compare or overtake even world biggest racers on the lists, 87 cars, 32 tracks, 33 avatars, 6 bosses, over 50 custom AI racers, etc. as one of fans explained pretty well, playing it for just one hour:
"its no Forza or the Crew, or a Project Cars/Asetto or Dirt Rally. its a new cool gameplayidear for a racinggame wich is realy enjoyebal and brings alot of fun!
i would say its a ARCARDISH-FUN-RACER with some littel SImulation influence especily in PHYSIKS. i mean noone want a simulation with an 300km/h driving OFFRAODcar on Tracks with more jumps then straight lines, where you spent more time for resseting your car back to track then driving at all......very fun, very jumpy, very offroad TRACKS"
The full release for AD means it's just started, so all main issues were fixed, the gameplay was extremely polished, very hard optimizations done over iterations (just check all previous 44 updates), so 1.0 means that real funny features and addons will start to be integrated over time in AD.
I'm racing fan so fully enjoys working/playing/testing/extending AD and will try to make it as much original and fun as possible in the future (big jumps, car takeover from other racers, controller customizations, multiplayer when there is tens of thousands of racers, etc, etc..)
Now it's time for the latest tweaks:
1) ADriver Countdown time, so you can take care when you looting around to get back fast to the car to continue the drive. Together with the cinematic voice you hear, it's displayed timer so you can calculate your looting actions:
[previewyoutube="zSE7QYLd5fM;full"]
Final this will look like this (timer will be above player, youtube takes some time to upload while I polishing action):
2) Cinematic voices were added on respawn, which will make the overall atmosphere step more intense (in case you didn't get back to the car before time's up etc.).
3) More little polishing and tweaks of the overall system in order to bring high-end quality to every little bit of game
Regards, Mike
0.98.2c: Additional Character Options & Polishing of ADriver menu
Hello,
This is new updates:
1) Character screen, called ADriver, part of Garage where you choosing your avatar, is now additionally customized, you can now take a closer look at your selected character. It's a new button added: Here is how it looks in practice: [previewyoutube="xbi8yHRjDe0;full"] Along with over 33 characters (extended over time from initial 20 in previous patches), there will be more in future, also more female chars and other different types of characters (in latter on updates from 1.x+ versions).
2) ADrivers are now buyable, you starting with the one free avatar, and during the game, when you reach more AD$, you can buy new characters and start collecting ADrivers. In early versions, they are all playable, but now you need to buy them in order to use them.
3) Some design tunings to the Player's Information Overview screen, like better-styled Reward Icon and some other fine-tunings: ;
4) Nitro action was smoothed, in some of the previous updates, there was some issue that prevents the player from using nitro, no matter the tank isn't empty. Now, this is fine-tuned and the player can use nitro any time, for longer or shorten boosts:
5) Character bio's for all 33 characters were written up, so you can find some cool stuff about their history and overall relations to the Arizona Derby competitions and bosses.
6) ADriver selection bug fixes before it wasn't saving correctly if you choose a character and get into the menu and change it and get back. Now all saving and loading exact characters you selected for the race. Also, initial character when you loading Arizona Derby will be your chosen ADriver not one which came by default.
7) Other character polishing and fixing of the ADriver menu, little imperfection since it's way too complex interactions and options.
8) Fixed some tutorial sound at ADrone menu (under ADriver) which makes tutorial voiceover continue playing if you back from that menu and tutorial voice still playing (and interlace with other sounds FX). So now this part will not bring sound inconsistency anymore:
9) Adding over 50 exciting voiceovers for character selection and overall improved ADriver menu looks and sounds like this (with chararacter bio's included): [previewyoutube="BcPTMwSfD2U;full"]
That's all for today folks, str8 off-roads! M1ke
0.97.1b: More Features Added and Polished
Hello guys,
This is a fast update, new features are:
1) Game un-pause was before only on >Resume< button, now you can get back to the game with ESC keys or pause button on your controller. Also, while you're in-game you can navigate options simply moving up-down your controller.
2) More explanations in the start menu and revising some information, so new players can understand goals and other important features even easier:
3) ADriver position fine-tuned for Play and Car menu, to be in focus and visible to the player:
4) Now, you can see your ADriver relaxing at level selecting menu's: Also some other polishing of the text positions for levels, for tracks names, for boss names and other fine-tuning's was done in order to have a perfect visual overview before racings.
5) There were some issue on Dubai Level's, as there was left more options and that bonus level has just 2 tracks, so that is now sorted and you can play 2 Dubai tracks:
More cool screens with photo filters, patched from the previous update:
