ARC_the beginning changes
I’m a solo developer who loves games and cars, and I started this project with a simple goal: “Let’s build the kind of arcade racing game I want to play!” Your reviews and feedback have been a huge help — thank you so much!
Below is the current fix & improvement roadmap (by priority). I’ll tackle the biggest gameplay blockers first and keep sharing progress through updates.
✅ Top Priority (Hotfix-focused)
UI Improvements (more user-friendly UI) Improving the always-visible UI across the game (Main Hub / World Map / Photo Mode) to be clearer and more stable.
Localization Optimization (fix broken text) Fixing font rendering and text display issues in some languages (including Chinese/Japanese).
Performance (stutter / FPS drops) Investigating and fixing reproducible stutters and FPS drops in specific areas.
Core Driving Feel Tuning the driving feel to encourage more active downshifting and better overall response.
Race Restart UI/Flow Making restart behavior and the UI flow more intuitive and reliable.
✅ Secondary (Play Environment & Difficulty Tuning)
Gamepad/controller support & improvements
AI improvements
Difficulty/balance adjustments
Reduce inconsistent spin-outs
✅ Later (Handling Feel & Visual/Audio Polish)
More drift-friendly handling
Stronger drift/downshift VFX & SFX
Reduce getting stuck after collisions
Camera movement improvements
I can’t promise an exact date yet, but the hotfix is my top priority and will ship ASAP. Thanks again for your support — and please keep the feedback coming! 🙏
