[Update v0.76]

• Added NEW CUP - The Knight Cup is the first Advanced Cup!
  
• The Knight Cup includes fancy new tracks of Duck Game, Teslagrad, and Knightmare Tower
  
• added a bunch of detail to RunbowRoad64 (skyline and torches) to give it a more finished look
  
• added ability for CPU karts to be able to take alternative routes through a track, only in the Knight Cup right now - but I'll be adding this alt-route ability to older tracks soon too
  
• added more friction to the new suspension wheel physics added in the previous update
  
• dampened the kart steering ability when a driftboost is fired, helping the driftboost to feel a lot more controlled in those initial moments
  
• made changes to the camera while drifting so that it looks in the direction you're travelling more
  
• weapons that fire forwards like Meloons and Pangapples go in a more forwards direction when fired while drifting now
  
• smoothed out some of the camera movement when going in and out of a drift
  
• fixed a rare bug that caused the kart to get stuck in first gear after a collision
  
• fixed kart not fully facing in the direction of the grid positions on some race starts
  
• fixed a recently introduced bug where the kart would reach full engine speed before being put back on track after a track fall off
  
• fixed a bug that made your kart sprite vanish for a splitsecond on contact with the new outdoor glare material shown coming out of indoor track sections
  
• fixed a glitch that was preventing CPU karts from releasing any orbitting meloons
  
• fixed the 3,2,1,Go vanishing too soon
  
• fixed the lighting reflection maps getting unloaded when switching between fullscreen/windowed during a race
  
• fixed a whole bunch of random mini bruh moments
  

[Update v0.758]

• added some suspension physics to player karts to stop them occasionally having overly exaggerated responses to the smallest of divots in the road's collision mesh
  
• added a small sideways camera tilt when drifting, making it look a lot more dramatic (also planning on making this optional this month in case anyone has a problem with it)
  
• fixed a recently introduced bug where the kart would reach full engine speed before being put back on track after a track fall off
  
• added white outlines on the Ultra and VRtrax cup icons so that they match the Super cup icon style more
  
• wall deflections will now check that your kart is grounded before attempting to deflect you
  
• fixed a few minor bugs
  

[Update v0.757c]

• fixed cpu karts not hopping over pits in Runbow Road 64 (bug introduced in previous build)
  
• fixed cpu karts never showing their kart 100% from their back
  
• added turning status to cpu kart sprites, now you can see them tackling bends more
  
• stopped walls on mode7 races interrupting the Drift Boost buildup
  
• fixed the Gold Rush particles not facing the camera correctly
  
• smoothed some possible camera judders on turning or drifting around bends
  

[Update v0.757]

• fixed karts being put back on track twice after dropping off track in the Tesla Tower Super track
  
• cooled down the cpu kart's aggressiveness on 150cc Super races a little
  
• changed the way camera FOV works in splitscreenGP to match how FOV in single player behaves
  
• cleaned up the winner's race-end camera that follows you around in splitscreen
  
• fixed it so each player's speed streaks will only be shown on their own camera in splitscreen
  
• the fast forward button on the podium scene now gets faster the longer it's held
  
• patched a hole in the wall's collision mesh of the TJnE track behind the start grid that let you fall through into space
  
• added a 2nd ramp to the Starr Mazer:DSP track, it was always an area that could be jumped as a shortcut if you were going fast enough, but now it's a little easier to pull off! The CPU karts won't attempt it as it's a little dangerous. (Pros only!)
  
• fixed internal view not going gold when collecting the GoldShroom using Pip's kart
  
• increased the volume of some of the custom invincibility music
  

[Update v0.756]

• fixed wrong number of Gold Shrooms being shown in splitscreenGP
  
• added a 12sec lifetime to Pumpkings
  
• made Pumpkings destroyable by a Gold Rush collision
  

[Update v0.755]

• added an explosive deflection to strong wall collisions in Ultra races, which knocks and turns the kart a bit away from the wall. This is something Super races already do.
  
• light wall scraping in Ultra races will also now turn the kart away from the wall slightly
  
• added some rough ground surface over half of the lava on the Knightmare Tower track, making things a little easier there!
  
• fixed camera sometimes dropping below the road geometry in Ultra races after it gets dropped when the scoreboard slides on
  
• TimeTrials and SingleRace menus will now remember which character you previously raced as
  

[Update v0.75c]

• increased performance of the ground material checking code leading to a huge drop in memory garbage collection, giving big FPS increases in single player and splitscreen!
  
• also reduced the load on the ground material checking function in SIK Stadium by splitting the road into 2 separate sections
  
• fixed bug introduced in the previous update on the podium scene causing the karts to be invisible in splitscreenGP, and the end podium menu auto selecting Restart Cup
  

• fixed an issue, introduced in the previous update, where drifting wasn't as effective on dpad as it was with a thumbstick, it was flat out broken on keyboard and dpads! (sorry!)
  
• added sideways physics forces to steering (should remove more of those slippy kart feels, could take a few races to get used to the extra grip!)
  
• slowed down the game speed on Super/VRtrax to match the speed of the Ultra racing more closely
  
• fixed rare bug that left CPU karts with a solo melon orbiting them
  
• fixed bug that caused the Trailing Weapon to be dropped if the button was let go on the Pause Screen
  
• trailing weapon particle system mess now inherits player velocity
  
• trailing Gelato now also drops the Gelato when it's collided with
  
• you can now see the trailing weapon when looking backwards in First Person View
  

[Update v0.74]

• culled some obstacles from 50cc and 100cc races (down to about 25% on 50cc, and 50% on 100cc) - making everything way less cluttered while trying to learn the basics of the game - some of those tough Super tracks are a lot less frantic now!
  
• moved the 150cc Gold Shroom on the Fist Of Awesome track to between two barrels on that last bend
  

[Update v0.73i]

• fixed a GoldRush bug where your kart wouldn't smash through a CPU kart if they had a triple melon powerup spinning around them
  
• cleaned up the powerup icons in the powerup lottery window
  
• added a middle of the road guideline to a couple of the Super Cup tracks
  
• added a wall to a tricky corner on Canabalt's Super track
  

[Update v0.73h]

• changed the speed class labels from 25,50,100,150 to read 50,100,150,200 to bring them in line with new players expectations of how those speeds would feel
  
• rebalanced the CPU kart speeds for each speed class some more
  
• moved 2 of the Gold Shrooms on Teslagrad64, removed the floor spikes in the tower area and reversed the direction of the floor travelators making them something you need to avoid
  
• removed a ghost obstacle on the startgrid on the Whispering Willows track
  

• changed how analogue thumbstick steering feels, giving a less slippy feel if you're a thumbstick flicker
  
• drifting has been tweaked to give a more controlled feel
  
• all speed classes on Super mode7 style racing have been balanced out, and it's now much less like a game of pinball!
  
• camera FOV values in 3-4 player splitscreen now match what 1-2 player modes have
  
• the Teslagrad ultra track was shrunk down a little, and shroom 2 moved to an easier to grab spot
  
• fixed ToeJam&Earl track billboards not showing correctly on 2-4 player cameras
  
• fixed a bug causing a player to endlessly fall into the abyss below Dragon Valley in splitscreenGP
  
• added shadows to the spikeballs in the MutantMudds track, making it easier to judge where they are
  
• fixed sky vanishing on Fiji VRtrax when in First Person View
  
• collecting the GoldShroom on Super tracks will no longer be a scary time as the speed increase and FOV changes now have more sensible values
  

• added rez 2560x1080 (for 21:9 monitors)
  
• added ability for camera to look up a little when going in and out of upside down transitions on the ToeJam&Earl track (for external camera only, internal camera in a later update)
  
• reversed the polarity of the gold shroom card reveal effect added in the previous update
  
• added some optimisation to the Ultra Podium scene which might prevent a crash some players were experiencing
  

• cleaned up the cup icon scales on the GP Cup Select menu for each supported resolution for 1:1 pixel ratios
  
  
• fixed up some audio effects that were sometimes getting lost like the powerup jar collection, the powerup lottery spin, the gold shroom collection sound, and more
  
  
• 
  
• added some extra polish to the gold shroom cards in the top left corner of the HUD, a nice ghosted BG so it's easier to see which ones you haven't collected yet, and a little outline pixel animation when the card is collected (still needs a bit of work)
  
  
• 
  
• added a light reflection that moves across the powerup window when the lottery ends
  
  
• fixed audio volume bars all setting to zero after wiping all of the player times and ranks (all data is deleted when pressing key "D" + key "0" (zero) together on the main menu - also, doesn't ask if you're sure.. so be sure!)
  

Change List:

• added the Ruby Cup, featuring Ultra race tracks for ToeJam & Earl, Mutant Mudds, Burrito Bison, and ROM 2064!
  
• added new crossover characters ToeJam, BigEarl, Max from Mutant Mudds, and Burrito Bison!
  
  
• added a Sega Megadrive / Genesis style fade to black when falling off and being placed back down on the track, more retro feeling than just a straight cut

• fix to stop Pangapples and Gelatos sitting in mid-air
  
• Some HUD improvements like ghosted GoldShroom cards so you can see which ones you haven't found yet
  
• Podium scene race info pages need to show which Race Stars you got on each race
  
• Better race position calculations
  
  

Yo! Sup?
