Let’s get some FAQ out of the way:

How long will the beta run for?

The beta will run for a week ending on March 2nd at 9am PST.

What tracks are available for the beta?

All of the tracks from the previous betas!

• Oceandrive

• Chasm

• Nightride

• Stormdrain

• Quarry

• Estate

I experienced a bug, where should I post it?

If you find a bug, please report it in the bug report forum! That will be the easiest place for developers to locate and track the bugs you report!

Wait, where is the local play option? Where's the private rooms options? Are you removing it?

Don’t worry it will come back! We aren’t removing it. Some of the changes made didn’t work in local play or private rooms so we removed it for the time being. It will be back in the future.

EDIT: We heard you guys like Private Rooms, so we've re-enabled them! To make Private Rooms work, tick "Private Room" option when creating. The name of the room is the password!

So what actually changed since the last beta?

Alright, alright, time to get to the MEAT of this dev log. What actually changed since the last beta? There are quite a few changes from some more QOL features, a new voting system, and more!

Quality of Life

This was probably asked for from the very first closed beta we ran, but I am happy to finally get to get this in your testing hands. Rebindable keys are in this beta!

Voting System

Alright, so this is probably one of the biggest changes you’ll quickly realize is the new voting system in between races. When you open a room you’ll immediately start in Warehouse instead of the lobby UI screen. When the host starts the voting or when the time runs out in the lobby, you can vote on two randomly chosen tracks.

You can vote on which track you want to play by entering the highlighted zone in front of the board. The one with the most votes will be the next track you race on. If there is a tie in the voting, it will be randomly chosen between the two tracks.

Circuits

In this playtest, you will play in circuits! Circuits are 3 races where your points carry over and the person with the most points after all three races win. Now, there is a caveat to this, you must have won at least one race. So, you may be 50 points ahead of everyone but still lose the circuit because you didn’t win the race. The podium is for winners!

If you win you can stand over the competition with a new cutscene. I would show it but as you can see I took second place in this circuit and am still salty over it. I won’t show me in second place. If you take the top 3 in the circuit, you do get a… “weapon?” that you can use to fire at your rivals and friends to really rub it in their faces. I’ll leave that for you to discover as well.

Host Controls

Since you spawn in Warehouse when you start a room, you don’t have the normal menu for you to set up games. So the developers have added a new room or two for the
