I've spent the past few months rewriting the vehicle architecture from scratch, both to massively improve the physics (especially for the bike) but also in preparation for the Steam-exclusive features like customisation and manual transmissions. While there aren't any new vehicles yet, and the interiors are still lacking detail, this rewrite has been a huge and important hurdle to clear. It should be the last big refactor needed before release.

This update is now live on the web version at slowroads.io - give it a try and let me know how it feels.

Version 2.1 also adds a handful of quality-of-life upgrades, including improvements to controller support, autosteer/autospeed modes, one-pedal driving, and a mouse-draggable camera.

Next up, I'll finally be getting back to work on some of the highly-requested visual features - in particular:

  • Improved weather effects and rain

  • Improved time-of-day effects, including a day/night cycle feature

  • Improved vehicle art, including interiors

...after which I plan to focus on some Steam-exclusive features, put out a demo, and then follow through with the full release.

I'm afraid I'm not able to estimate dates for any of these milestones, but I'm regularly posting day-to-day development updates in the Slow Roads discord server - check in there for the latest!

Much appreciated,

Anslo
