changedHyperwheel Overdrive has moved beyond Early Access to full release on 2022.07.20!
changedWe are so excited to have moved beyond Early Access on July 20. The Early Access program was great for helping us refine the product with player feedback, but Hyperwheel has matured significantly over the 28 months since Early Access launch and is now ready to be considered a full-featured game and reviewed as such. Of course, we will continue to improve the game in major ways from here; leaving Early Access should not be taken to mean development is complete. In fact, we have plenty of unpublished Hyperwheel content that we'll be adding to the game going forward, along with stuff we haven't even created yet. We are also working towards an AppLab release which will improve online sessions a lot.
addedEnjoy the Brand New Demo!To celebrate our launch, we published a brand new time-unlimited demo that includes all power-ups and vehicle types! There's tons of sandbox fun to be had in the FREE DEMO. Download and play it now if you don't own the game yet! Here's some demo footage:
changedAnd the Updates...Lastly, the v0.12.4 update is live now! In v0.12.3 published on July 19, we made some big improvements to the auto-braking system, allowing players to more smoothly auto-brake and for it to activate at low speeds as well as the usual "when the menu is open" situation. Vert ramp tire traction also got revised a bit. The other big thing with v0.12.3 is the new voice instructions in our revised tutorial system. We also included instructions for the thruster controls which previously wasn't covered in the tutorial system. The rest, plus the new v0.12.4 update, is mostly a bunch of bugfixes of various flavors. Things are now set up great for our next content update! Changelog as usual:
fixedAnd the Updates...fixed bug that auto-armed recycled grenades when taken from pool
