New Mode Added - World Tour


This is how it works,

  • 3 random tracks are selected to kick off the tour, each with predetermined race conditions (Laps, weather, AI difficulty) also a persistant set of 4 AI drivers are selected to compete against.
  • Race on these tracks until you get enough driver points to unlock the next set of 3 tracks, while earning cash, fame points and putting in the miles for car upgrade points.
  • This will allow you to purchase Tracks and Cars for free race events & time trial races further increasing your rewards. Best time trial times are uploaded to the online leaderboards to compete against other player.
  • Fame points allow you to unlock new drivers each with their own set of driver stats.
  • Engage in hand to hand figths with other drivers to receive additional rewards from 'Headz Boxing Federation' (this module is still to be developed further)
  • World tour continues until the last race has taken place on the last track. Hint: Dont race the last race until your happy with your driver position in the leaderboard. Then you will be able to reset the world tour for a different set of race conditions. (This final step is still being developed and will be added in a future update)

  • All the Retro Racer cars are now unlocked from the start, currently 8.
  • Reworked the menus for easier access to game modes.
