Super Toy Cars v1.0.5a
Hi,

It's been a while since last update, so I think it's about time we added something here :o)

So we've implemented quite a few fixes and minor features that have been requested both in the forums and by people either personally, through mail or in youtube videos. Here is a list of the features:

- Changed start grid FX to be 'after' the start gate, not before it so that they are more visible. We have fixed the issue whereby it triggered every lap in replays too.
- Added a new step in the tutorial explaining the different camera options.
- Sensibly improved collisions using 'invisible walls' all over the game to replace per-object collisions. The cars now behave a lot better after crashing against a wall.
- Fixed audio bugs in the engines due to sudden rev changes.
- Added the possibility of revving the engine in the count-down (although it has no gameplay utility yet)

As always, we're open to more suggestions and if you find any bugs or issues with the new (or old) features, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix them ASAP.

Thanks!

Windows Release Candidate 1.0.0a
So I think we've reached a point where we can call this version 1.0. It doesn't have everything we would like it to have, but it has everything we think it needs. That doesn't mean we don't want you to give us your feedback or give us suggestions, quite the opposite. Please, keep them coming we'll do our best to implement them.

Anyway, here's a list of the last fixes and features added since last build:

v1.0.0a:

- Moved Input code to use XInputDotNet which may help with controller compatibility
- Implemented option to wipe progress (in Extras menu)
- Option to change the number of laps in quickrace races (not other game modes)
- Fixed issue with never ending races
- Added deferred lighting for High quality settings only.
- Fixed a few engine sounds
- The tomato cans now have the see-through property
- AI players can now use Matte and Pearlescent paintjobs
- Fixed episode unlock notification when it was already unlocked
- Other minor bugfixes

Thanks!

Hope you like them. There's a few less than usual because we've tackled some of the most importante feedback and some other we tried and couldn't this week. Expect next week new improvements to relate to achievements, the editor and some extra graphics stuff. From there on new features will be a lot more scarce as we focus on porting the game to other platforms.

Weekly build 13/3/2014
A new build has been published on 13/3/2014. Here's the list of new features:

- Fixed bugs with Achievements (Fun with Friends and Obsessive Collector) [Mantis 316]
- New HUD
- Using R instead of Alt for some button presses to avoid issues with Alt+Tab [Mantis 293]
- Fixed issues with some ramps [Mantis 321] like the one in Babyroom 3, Kitchen 1 or Garage 2. If there are more, please report them and they'll be fixed.
- Implemented more 'traditional' hold-to-drift drifting mechanic [Mantis 329]
- Improvements and new can tunnel in Kitchen levels
- Implemented option to look behind using the keyboard (Tab key by default) [Mantis 334]

The more 'traditional' hold-to-drift mechanic has been widely asked for. I'd like to know your opinion on the implementation so feel free to voice it in the forums. I'm planning on adding the accel + brake as an alternative for the drifting button (so you can use either) but it's not yet implemented.

Oh, and I think you'll like the new paintjobs :o)

BTW, since we didn't do an announcement for the first build, here's the list of features in previous build (6/3/2014):

- Fixed bug [Mantis 307] whereby you couldn't access 2 different leaderboards in a single game. It may have caused other issues too.
