STOUT KAYAK <—> UPDATE 2.7

CreekBorn Games

Physics Overhaul

One of the biggest changes in this update focuses on the kayak physics system . It has been reworked to provide much more stability, especially during sharp direction changes and technical maneuvers. The previous “wobble” effect has been eliminated, resulting in smoother and more precise control.

Result:

More responsive handling Better stability in technical sections A more natural and controlled feel

This also greatly improves the visual experience . Movements are smoother, the kayak feels more grounded in the water, and the overall flow looks much cleaner and more immersive.

This is a major upgrade that truly changes how the river feels.

Online Race Improvements

The race system has been fixed and optimized for online play . Timer issues resolved Each player now has their own independent timer Improved race UI for better clarity

Truck System Upgrade

A new system has been implemented for exiting the truck: Prevents issues when the truck is flipped on its side Avoids clipping through the map Works for both sides and rear passengers

Improved camera positions for all passengers → more natural and immersive views

Main Menu Rework

Conclusion

The game continues to evolve with every update, with one goal in mind:
