changedWe’ve released Patch 1.0.5 for Karting Superstars! For this patch, John has put a lot of effort behind improving the general online experience of Karting Superstars. A lot of you will be excited to hear we have added collisions to online play; we’re looking forward to hearing what you think! On the gameplay side, Alberto worked on creating the Aeroduck 🦆 system, previously referred to as Human DRS. This system was inspired by Alberto's and Carlos' karting experience, we all believed this was a great addition to the strategic depth of KSUP.
addedHere’s what is new on the patch:
added🟣New Aeroduck 🦆 gameplay system Your driver can now duck to draft. This resource can be used strategically to gain marginal advantages or pass other drivers at the right opportunity.
added🟣 Improved online driving experience. 🟣Collisions are now permitted in online races. 🟣Reduced load times in general, and in particular when two consecutive races happen on the same track. 🟣Removed vehicle select. You now automatically use the livery you last selected in the garage. 🟣Online races now have a driver showcase as you wait for players to join the race! This is a nice spot to show off your unlocked idles. 🟣6 non-customizable funky Kart liveries.
addedAs Karting Superstars is on Early Access, it’s important to note that a lot of these changes are experimental and we are very much looking for your feedback. Let us know about your experience with these new systems over on Discord .
