Development News #14
CarX Technologies, LLC
Long time no see!
CarX Drift Racing Online 2 development news is here! More than a month has passed since our last news. Four updates have been released since then, and a lot of what we told you about last time is already in the game!
What we're working on
Synchronous TOP-32
Synchronous TOP-32 is already in the alpha branch: the first championships took place on November 6-8. We continue working on the mode and choosing championship times so that as many players as possible can take part. If you haven't told us when it's convenient for you to play yet, check out this post!
Career rework
We're reworking the career mode and want to release it as one big update. Here's what we're working on:
- Smooth difficulty progression
- Several race types: the familiar tandem drift, plus drift shows and touge battles
- Bots retuned from scratch
- Fixes for scoring errors in tandem runs
Touge battle mode
We continue developing the touge battle mode. Here are a few screenshots:
Modded tracks
Tracks from mod.io are already available in the alpha branch, and you can install them right from the game through the built-in browser. We continue working on the system, and the rules for mod authors are collected in a separate post.
Collision physics
The first iteration of the new collision physics has arrived in the alpha branch: cars now bounce off obstacles more softly, so you can drive closer to your opponent. In parallel, we're working on plastic parts collisions.
