🚨 PRIVATE BETA IS LIVE — Next Big Editor Update 🚨

We’ve just opened a private beta for the biggest Track Builder update so far. If you own Speed Rivals, you can jump in right now and help us test everything before the official release.

This beta is especially important because we’re building a better tutorial for new players — so your feedback directly shapes how we teach the editor.

✅ How to Join the Beta (Steam)

  1. Library → Speed Rivals → Manage (⚙️) → Properties

  2. Go to Betas

  3. Under Private Betas, enter this access code: SpeedRivals26

  4. Select: betatrackbuilder

  5. Let Steam update the game and launch it

🆕 What’s in the Beta?

🌍 1) Build in 4 Scenarios

The first thing you’ll do in the editor now is choose one of 4 environments to build in. Each scenario changes the vibe of your track and diorama.

📍 2) Move the Start Piece Anywhere (including elevation)

You can now move the initial piece across the whole scenario — not only on the ground plane, but also up/down in height for bigger, more creative layouts.

⚙️ 3) New Settings Menu (Track + Room + Camera)

A brand-new control panel that lets you configure:

  • Number of rails

  • Laps

  • Difficulty

  • Track visuals: rail + curb textures

  • Room look: atmosphere + filters

  • Camera options / visual feel

🛣️ 4) The Classic Track Builder (still here)

The core track building flow you already know is still included — now better integrated with the new systems.

🧩 5) NEW: Decoration Editor (Diorama Mode) — the big feature

Decorate your diorama like you’re building a miniature model:

  • Place props and miniatures

  • Fine-tune position

  • In the edit menu: rotate, tilt, and scale

  • Create almost anything — we can’t wait to see what you build

🧪 What We Need From You (Tutorial Feedback)

Please tell us:

  • Did the new flow make sense? (scenario → move start → settings → track → decorations)

  • What felt confusing or missing?

  • Any bugs, weird behavior, or friction points?

If possible, include steps to reproduce + a screenshot/video.
