Repeated intro
Hey everyone,
What changed
- UI and audio
- Gameplay
- Fixes
Let’s get straight to it. Hope you enjoy this update as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Symphony of Valves
Cars finally know how to sing. All non-electric models now have proper engine sounds, each with its own audio profile tuned for tone, pitch, and overall feel.
Electric cars are still quiet. I could add “realistic” electric audio, but nobody wants to drive around listening to a cordless vacuum, so I skipped that for now. As always, feedback is welcome. Salute to all my petrolheads. 🫡
Music
Around 100 new soundtrack tracks have been added across multiple genres. I genuinely lost count somewhere along the way. The jukebox now offers a much wider range for building playlists.
I plan to add environmental playlists in the future to help set the mood automatically, but for now I’m leaving full control to you.
Quality of Life
Supporter DLC owners no longer need to press the refuel button. (Chat, does this qualify as P2W?) Skydeck already supported color and vinyl switching, but it didn’t have an on-screen prompt. That prompt has now been added. Thanks to MrEniena on Discord for pointing it out.
Fixes
A bug that caused post-processing and retro effects to stop working on certain windows has been fixed. Restarting the game from the menu was also broken; it now works properly. Thanks again to MrEniena and Wightie for reporting both issues.
Notes
Multiple players are experiencing cloud-related problems on different machines. I’m currently investigating the cause. Thanks to Luster for flagging the issue. Thread:
