Christmas Announcement

Hey!

As the Christmas is here, I think it's time to share some news about the upcoming version Alpha 0.2. It will be coming soon!

Most important fix!

First of all, probably the most important thing that happened - car physics got fixed! This has improved client interpolation&prediction aswell. You can see how it works here: 

What else? 

As you know, Christmas is in December, and December is in winter.  And what does fall during winter? Snow! 

Snow on roads, or on empty parking lots, is one of the best things - you can easily drift or just slide your car, without damaging it (if you're careful). Sadly, in many countries drifting is illegal, what makes no sense, but what can you do... 

That's why now you can enjoy drifting in a Dacia, in a totally legal way, using only your computer!

To drift, you need a handbrake. There was a "handbrake" before, but all it did was just brake all wheels 10 times stronger than normal brake. This has been reworked! Now handbrake brakes only back wheels, while normal brake will affect only front wheels (as in a real car).

There have also been some changes to how the engine works. I won't go into detail, as I don't want to share too much, but let's just say it also got more realistic ;)

Last thing I'd like to share, is the UI rework. The new interface will be based on the tile system, as shown below. I think we can agree it's much better than the previous one. 

Something for the end :)

Finally, I'd like to take some time, to wish all of you happiness and joy for this Christmas time, whether you do celebrate it or not. 

Merry Christmas!
