First Playtest Soon!

ESGalore

Hello everyone, just a quick update on the playtest! This was meant to be a public (but small scale) playtest, but it seems it blew up a bit more than I anticipated. So this post is also a bit ad hoc! Currently, I'm just waiting for the playtest to be approved by steam, but the build is ready to go. As soon as that's good to go, i'll just open up the playtest. You won't need to sign up and get approved, the only reason the sign up option went up was because I was messing with it but it'll just be easy sign up instant access when it goes live. HOWEVER, it was very cool to see that so many people are signing up and it's very cool that so many people are excited to try the game! Thanks all for your interest! Obviously this will be the first playtest, and the first time the public gets to try this game so I don't know if it'll be as fun as people expect or not. Also, potentially lots of bugs and issues will be discovered and encountered. Currently,there's no lobby u just join through steam invite The tutorial is also rather old and some features that I added later on are not really explained in game yet. Here are a few things you might get stuck on: -Your impact wrench and shock sentries have batteries, and they need to be charged on the yellow terminal that's by the cubicle. If your pit gun stops working, it might just be at 0% (or it might actually be a bug) -shock sentries only shock thieves, so u can't just park it in the rival pit stalls and shock them all. -the wheels you steel from rival pit stalls are not meant to be persistent, so you won't be able to keep using those rims and replacing the tires. They're more of a plan C type of deal (or maybe ur whole strat is built around stealing all of ur tires for the race?) I probably forgot some other ones, but let me know what you guys think, and if you have any thoughts, suggestions, feedback, etc, come check out the discord and lemme know! Some known issues: -Caution laps are wonky -Lag might make some car stuff buggy, especially if you're driving. Host drivers would have the cleanest experience

-yes the gearbox is not in the right place -the engine is goofy -no rolling starts yet, and the car has 5 gears instead of 4 -starting grid is 3 wide instead of 2 -playtest only has one track variant -Mac version isn't tested -the UI is kinda messed up for certain things (like the championship save points usage) Some of these are already worked on and will be fixed in the next playtest version!
