New Transition Physics and Map Refresh!
Hello!
Here's a brand new update that overhauls transition physics, improves grind physics, and more!
Transition Physics
Transition physics have seen a big overhaul. The assist in jumps is no longer as strong, but is much more accurate all around. This completely fixes all the issue with your momentum getting killed, or the feeling of being pulled somewhere other than where you wanted to land. Instead, transition feels more releastic, smoother, and like you're in control.
Jumbo Jump Island Updates
With the physics changes, the downhill track in Jumbo Jump Island need some refining. So I decided to go ahead and make a completely new track. Because of improvements in grind detection, I've been able to add a couple of ledges that you can grind between some of the jumps, giving you choices on your way down the track. This is by far the most fun the downhill track has ever been.
Clothing Shader
Scoot used to have a pretty cool clothing shader that would apply a wind effect on the clothing. This was broken with the player customisaiton update from around a year ago. Well now I've not only fixed it up, but I've made it look way better than before!
New Camera
The camera for the scooter has been slighty raised, and then offset to help you see more infront of the rider. It was always tricky lining up grinds with the rider being right in the way of your view, this helps that! There's also a new "Scooter Offset X" setting in the camera settings menu that allows you to change which side the camera is on or put it back in the middle.
Grind Physics
The physics for boardslides have been improved heavily. They're now 100% physics based and you no longer get thrown out of them or get weird rotation glitches.
As mention before, grind detection has also seen a big improvement. No more weird momentum changing, or not being able to do an uprail grind.
Well, that's quite the update, huh? You can join Scoot's discord here to see the full changelog and connect with the rest of the community!

January 2025 Update - Patch 01
Changelog:
• Disabled "Create New" button in "Custom Maps" menu while in multiplayer
• Fixed nametags not working in multiplayer
• Fixed buzzcut being above players head in multiplayer
• Tweaks made to sticks in controller overlay
• Fixed manual pivots turning the wrong way
• Fixed steering in manuals
FSR, Fixes, and More!
Hey!
I've got another small update for you that brings a few improvements and fixes!
FSR
FSR 3 has been added to the "Graphics" menu. Allowing you to use AMDs upscaling technology to improve performance if needed. This feature has proven insanely beneficial for people with 4k monitors.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer has been made a lot smoother. A large issue with Scoot's multiplayer was how jumpy some players movement could be. While that issue isn't completely eradicated, it's been iron out a lot. I'm looking to make more improvements to multiplayer in the future.
Hip Movement
The rider's hip movement is now using a spring-like system that gives the player a whole new feel. This is one of the first steps in making Scoot feel less stiff. Now the rider's general movement while riding the scooter is much more fluid and natural.
New TShirt
Some key bug fixes include:
• Fixed vaulting not working
• Fixed bug that would put the hip in the wrong position in manuals
• Fixed ambient sound slider not working after changing map
• Fixed late spins causing you to snap while doing a flip
• Improved side hopping out of slides
• Fixed getting thrown across the map when hopping off of a wall
• Optimised Park Editor input

Scoot Grind Update - Available Now!
Hello!
As I've been working on heading towards 1.0 of Scoot, I noticed a huge issue with playing the game at a low frame rate. This caused issues for a lot of players, so I went ahead and fixed all those issues. While doing that, I decided why not update grinds while I'm at it. And here's that!
Grinds
Grinds have seen a huge overhaul in this update. You're now able to land on a rail/ledge however you want, and you'll grind it. This makes all the slides in the game a lot more physics based. You'll be able to lean forward and back, and spin around however you like. This opens up so many possibilities and makes some lines look so smooth and natural.
Because of the amount of freedom now given to slides, I decided to also add a balance mechanic to grinds like 50-50s, Icepicks, Toothpicks, Smiths, and Feebles. The goal of this mechanic is to add more of a challenge to grinds and makes them more rewarding to do. To balance, you simply use the left stick to counter the scooter leaning too far over.
Coping grinds have also seen a massive change. Instead of being their own thing, they use the base grind system. Instead of power sliding up to coping, you now mini hop (Right stick click) on a quarter pipe and you'll hop into a grind on the coping. It's also possible to just air into a coping grind if you don't hop at all. This also means you're no longer limited to slides on coping!
I know this has been a heavily requested feature, and I hope I've done it justice for all of you. It's definitely how I always envisioned grinds in a scooter game.
Physics Rewrite
As mentioned, Scoot had a lot of issues when played at a lower fps (anything <100). This was a huge problem that had to be fixed urgently as it affected a lot of players and would possibly paint a bad image for new players.
Thanks to me going over everything and making sure the game runs at all different types of frame rates, Scoot now runs smoother than ever before. Even if you've never had a problem before, you should still notice the smoothness. And all those old bugs caused by low fps are completely gone!
Extras
While labelled the "Grind Update", there have been so many improvements in this update that it's hard to list them all here. But here's some noteable ones:
• Improved Wallrides
• Improved Fakie Outs
• New pushing animations
• Better transition physics
• 25+ Bug fixes
To see all of the changes, you can view the changelog in Scoot's discord here!
OH, I also added a 7" deck :)
Cheers,
Matt
