"Let's play" Videos, Steam Achievements, and more!
Ahoj everyone!
We have some exciting news for you!
FailRace, a very popular Youtube Gamer and Reviewer, has made a great "Let's play" video of VSC which has received over 11,600 views in the past week. The video was very well received and many people are asking for him to continue on and make a series which we would love to see! It could be something to exposé all the latest and greatest additions to VSC and to measure how well the game is being received and viewed to better guide our progress. If you want to have FailRace make more VSC videos, one way to influence that is to click the like button next to those youtube viewers that have asked the same thing in the comments section, there are a quite few requests there already, or write your own!
The final Steam Achievement Candidates have now been posted and we are getting ready to publish. Now is the time to speak up on the forums about them if you have something to say, we would welcome any input. Below is a mock up showing how some of them will look in Steam.
VSC has seen a 66% boost in average player time versus August 2017. This is proof that more people are playing and enjoying VSC, and hopefully it will result in more multiplayer matches taking place. We are thinking about creating a discord server for easier coordination and communication between players for organising matches - tell us what you think!
Our forums are looking a little empty recently, why not join up and speak your mind, show your works or share your ideas and experience, and help us make VSC better. Please join up at the forums. We will hopefully be adding a Modding download section soon so people can share their creations easier.
See you on the track...

Ahoj everyone!
Our latest update fixes several larger issues such as Steam Screenshots (black screen) & In-Home Streaming (green screen), Broadcasting, start up failures on certain machines, one incorrect OpenGL identification and increases overall compatibility mode in general. Then there are modding tools fixes, and AI improvements. Thanks to all who are submitting bug reports with their log files, it makes our life much easier to identify and remedy such problems – keep them coming!
We are also incredibly heartened seeing interest shown by the community in the modding potential of VSC, and we are really looking forward to seeing some body creations, so get modelling guys! :) The sooner the tools are tested, the sooner we can fix any potential bugs found with them.
In other news, we are currently working on a fairly large update at the moment regarding the AI, it's very exciting, so stay tuned. Finnish language localisation is half way there, the Steam store page was updated to include Czech, and VSC has endeared itself to a popular Youtuber who will hopefully be making some “Let's play” videos soon ;)
If you have not written a review yet, and feel you have something to say, then please get writing. We need more reviews to help shape VSC and spread the word!
