New Feature: Chemistry Bonding

This update introduces bike chemistry, a new progression layer that rewards players for racing with the same bike over time.

After races, your bike can gain chemistry experience. As chemistry increases, the bike’s passive ability becomes stronger. This means your favorite bike does not just stay the same forever. It grows with you.

  • Unique passive ability assigned to each bike model.

  • Passive definitions stored in bike definitions.

  • Passive icon support for lobby, race, and equipped bike modal.

  • Chemistry bonding progression for owned bikes.

  • Chemistry level tracking on garage bikes.

  • Backend endpoint support for increasing passive chemistry.

  • Equipped bike modal data showing passive title, description, chemistry level, progress, and passive scaling values.

Improved

  • Bikes now have stronger identities beyond raw stats.

  • Long-term bike ownership feels more rewarding.

  • Players have more strategic reasons to choose one bike over another.

  • Garage and equipped bike UI now better communicate bike personality and progression.

Gameplay Impact

  • Bike choice now affects race strategy more directly.

  • Players can specialize around a preferred playstyle.

  • Favorite bikes become more valuable over time through chemistry.

  • Passive abilities create stronger counters, synergies, and race-to-race variety.

As always thanks for your support!
