changedRace in Async MultiplayerBeat the ghosts of other players and be the fastest on the leaderboard. Race on 20+ handcrafted stages.

changedMod SupportThe game already support for player created maps** The plan is to release a comprehensive package for Unity which will allow creating custom maps and races. All of the races will also support leaderboards and in this way popular community made races will have ghosts and one fastest racer!

changedMod SupportSteam Workshop integration will follow after the mod support integration is in place and functional

addedInteractive TutorialThis is in the TO DO list for a long time but is also a time consuming challenge in order to get right. This will be useful for new players and probably not that much for veterans of the game but hopefully it will bring more racers and would make the leaderboards a bit more challenging.

changedCampaign ModeCampaign mode will consist of challenges which have to be completed on each location. Challenges can include Races, Tricks and Freeride tasks and you as a player will have to beat a challenge set in order to unlock the next one. This can also unlock the way for daily challenges.

addedCustomizationYour Ghost can live forever being chased by noob riders and I know that you would like to put some style to it. This will start small with things like customizing the colors and can expand to adding different accessories. Community feedback will be listened and one of the things to add is a basket for the bike :D

Bug Fixes

Although listed in the last place, making sure that there are no technical issues which prevent people from playing the game will always be first priority.

Thank you!

Thank you for giving Down Fast VR Early Access a chance and for your patience!

You can join the Down Fast VR Discord to get in touch with the developer and share your suggestions or just hang around with other Racers.

Stay Safe and wear your helmet in real life! (Better disable it in Down Fast, though ; ) )

Yours truly,

the dev guy
