We appreciate your patience and are thrilled to finally unveil that we've released the 0.9.0. update, which includes 2 new features:
Online multiplayer! This is still very experimental since we didn't have enough players during the closed beta to test it properly. Right now the maximum is set to 12 players, but it could actually be more or less, we just don't know. Please send us your feedback on Discord or on Steam so we can improve this game mode!
Tunnels! They can now be placed using the Section Types tool in the Track Editor. Can't wait to see new tracks with tunnels shared online! We haven't updated the official tracks yet. This will come with the next update.
This update also includes the usual bug fixes and tweaks here and there. Let us know what you think!
Now we know that we haven't been very available to work on Super Pilot since it's in Early Access. Life. We don't earn much money from it, we work on it on our spare time. We have day jobs and families. We're still present on Discord and read every single message.
1.0 will be the last major updates. Here's what we've planned so far:
New environments
New musics
Official tracks update
Balancing pass on all vehicles
AI improvements
No new ship planned at the moment, for the simple reason that we don't have a 3D artist in the team and we don't have the money to pay one.
We can't commit to any sort of timeline unfortunately.
Thanks everyone for supporting us!

Version 0.8.3: hot fix
Hi everyone,
We've fixed the connection issue preventing players from accessing shared content.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Online Multiplayer (experimental)
Hi everyone,
We need your help!
We've got a build with online multiplayer working. Please don't get too excited, this is very experimetal and we can't say for sure if it's going to make it into the final game. It's very bare-bones feature wise, but enough to validate the net code and hopefuly to have fun.
Right now we set the limit to 12 players in the same race, but actually have no idea what the limit is. The maximum we tested was 4 players.
We need more players to test it and send us feedback in order to decide if it's worth spending more time on it.
How to switch to the Beta branch?
In your Steam library, right click on Super Pilot
Select Properties
Select Betas
Enter superpilotbeta as the access code and hit the Check Code button
You should now be able to select the Beta branch in the Beta participation list!

Version 0.8.1: server migration + minor tweaks
Hi everyone,
The last 6 months were a bit tedious for Super Pilot. We've been using GameSparks for our online features since the beginning of the project, but after Amazon bought GameSparks, we learned the services we were using would shut down on September 30, 2022.
We had no choice but to recode all our online features and migrate all our data to a new platform. It was a lot of work and time not spent on the rest of the game.
The good news is that we managed to do it in time, just before the deadline!
The 0.8.1 update runs on a new backend. The transition should be seamless and there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. But you never know! Please reach out to us if you notice something strange.
We also did some minor tweaks:
Renamed "Favorite" to "Like"
Playlists tracks can now be Liked directly in the pause menu or at the end of the race
Earned Grand Prix Cups will be transfered to lower Classes (for instance if you earn the Alpha League Gold Cup in the Expert Class, you'll automatically get the Gold Cup in Standard and Beginner Classes)
Fixed a soft lock in the track editor while playing custom music
Stay tuned for the next update!

Server maintenance
Hi everyone,
We are in the process of migrating all of our sharing and leaderboard features to a new service (since Gamesparks is shutting down).
Unfortunately, we have to disable all the online features for a few days. You can still play the game but won't have access to online tracks, playlists, leaderboards and ghosts.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi everyone,
We're glad to release a new update to introduce the following features:
Playlist editor & sharing
New game mode: Custom Leagues (playlists shared by other players)
Earn trophies by completing the different Leagues in Grand Prix mode
QOL improvements:
Updated the Leagues, Classes and Ships unlock conditions

Fixed a crash that could happen with the recovery track
Fixed a bug where a ghost would explode while it shouldn't
Hope you enjoy this update!
