Build 5021 - Update to England and menu screen
Build 5021 is here with a few changes.
We are streaming most of the development of the game on my Twitch. Be sure to follow so you can watch and get involved. More people there, the more voices we hear when changing stuff in game. So help shape the future and join in. Twitch.TV/Jackster1337
Menu/Garage Screen
We have pulled the garage screen from Level R build so you are no longer looking at a blank void if you are not in a crew.
England Upgrade
We have ported England from Heat Online build and enabled all the tracks. Total is now 21.
Build 5020 - New hangar, update to Nurgenhoch and oh yea 20 lap races.
Build 5020 is here with quite a few changes.
First of all, we are streaming most of the development of the game on my Twitch. Be sure to follow so you can watch and get involved. More people there, the more voices we hear when changing stuff in game. So help shape the future and join in. Twitch.TV/Jackster1337
Hangar upgrade
Hangar has been upgraded to the Heat Online release. This features slightly improved graphics compared to the original as well as many more tracks including those outside of the main hangar building. There are now 9 tracks in Vs and 3 for drift.
Nurgenhoch update
Nurgenhoch has had most of its art assets added (a few missing still). This fixes a few texture issues as well as adds a few more advertising boards into the game.
Most of the ad boards are disabled but hot air balloons, tent stands and small bear can balloons are back.
This also fixes the firetruck position on the track so no more firetruck sticking out of the barrier on the first corner.
You will also notice the overhead distance markers for corners making it easier to known when to brake.
Lap count update
One of the most requested items to fix in the game was lap counts. Originally lap count was based of the level lock of the track. The higher the level of the track, the more laps you could do.
This is obviously not great for lower level players but also a single lap in some maps is not worth doing due to then the downtime between matches.
With update 5020, all players can now start races with up to 20 laps. This is up from the maximum of 7 for higher level maps.
Event lobbies can now host up to 100 laps too so this should make events more interesting.
We are evaluating this change over the next week or so. Seeing how it effects the game. Do note that finish times should be longer to accommodate slower players. So actual downtime between races for some might be on par with 1-2 lap races.
Feedback is welcome in the discussion forum. Link below.
Build 5016 update & community news
2x XP and RP for the next 24 hours is now live!
Build 5016 has just been uploaded to Steam and will be required to update to from today.
Arcade Vs Braking
As many of you have seen and complained about, playing with a keyboard in Arcade Vs results in instant braking.
This has been fixed and you can expect braking in Arcade Vs to be a little more realistic.
This means you wont be able to go so fast into a tight bend anymore or brake very fast to prevent crashing into a wall.
So keep this in mind when racing from now on.
We will be also releasing build 5017 early next week which applies the same fix (and a few other adjustments) to CTF and maybe slight adjustments to other game modes.
Thunder Alley player count.
We have for a long time believed that Thunder Alley "could" support more than 20 players.
The other day we found out how to increase the player count in all game modes (the code is hard to work with), have have successfully tested a few of the maps with increased player count in Thunder Alley.
Starting positions are still bugged. This use to be okay back in the day, we are unsure what changed as we don't have access to archives of builds from the early days.
But we hope to fix this at a later date.
Expect a lot of crashing in the first lap of 32 player TA...
We are still working on Steam Auth and hope to have a working developer build soon. This will drastically improve the experience for new users, many of which have had issue signing up over the past few weeks due to the forum bugging out.
We are also still looking into the startup issue and connection issue. We have not been able to replicate these issues our end yet so it is quite hard to get detailed analysis of the issue.
Using a VPN does help with the connection issues to Login Server and Game Servers though.
Community update
This week we created a Community Manager role which will take over all community management from GM-Jack so he (me) can focus on game management, development and support.
RacerXNFS has been playing PT for many years, is very experienced in racing games (it is all he plays) and has experience with community management. Over the next few weeks he will be fully taking over community management and bringing on board more GameSages to help moderate the game and Discord.
We are not looking for applications to become a GS (or a GM). Do not send them, we ignore all requests.
That's it for now. More updates to come.
Hopefully see some new cars in a week or two.
Follow me on Twitch for live developer streams where we test out new features, cars and maps.

Have fun and see you on the track.
