addedNew achievement
addedThere's a new achievement which was added to the game. However, it is hidden, so good luck achieving it (there are some hints in the game though).
removedThis game uses MonoGame, which is great for a pseudo-3d driving game. But, it is pretty terrible for dynamic sounds. So far, the music and the engine of the car were using dynamic sound effects. For the engine, this solution works relatively okay, but for music it's not a very good idea. I have changed the systems, and now, the music no longer uses dynamic sounds.
fixedThis fixed the music stuttering and distortion problems. I think this fixed some crashes too, although I'm not 100% certain.

Now, let's get to the updates:

Patches

This game uses MonoGame, which is great for a pseudo-3d driving game. But, it is pretty terrible for dynamic sounds. So far, the music and the engine of the car were using dynamic sound effects. For the engine, this solution works relatively okay, but for music it's not a very good idea. I have changed the systems, and now, the music no longer uses dynamic sounds.

This fixed the music stuttering and distortion problems. I think this fixed some crashes too, although I'm not 100% certain.

Now the music system is more stable, but the game may take a bit longer to load (1-2 seconds).

Leaderboard

Now, when you die in the Rad Guy game mode, you are presented with a small leaderboard before the end menu. This way you can see how good you were compared to the others. This feature was requested by you guys, and it made its way into the game.

What's next?

First of all, we'll see if this update broke some things, and if it did, we'll fix them.

We'll then implement what is left on the to-do list. There are quite a few things you people have suggested, and some of them will make their way into the game really soon.

Thank you!
