Patch Notes

Version EA-3.0

With this update we're introducing the first pass of our unlocking system, we've added a swamp-tastic Chapter 5 to Career – er, "Adventure" – and we've got 2 new levels for you in quick events.

WARNING


This build resets everyone's save progress. We had to reformat the Adventure data, and also introducing the locking system scrambled things up a bit. Sorry for the inconvenience; this may still happen again during Early Access, but we'll try to firm it up as we get closer to shipping.

Welcome to the Collection screen


Here you can browse the cars and drivers (and more!) you own, and track the criteria that you need to earn the locked ones. There are a few things you should know about this:
  • Most cars are locked at the start. Since we didn't have an unlocking system before, the cars we released previously in EA were unlocked…but now that's all changed. We're sorry in advance if Twister was your favorite car. Going forward we'll be adding cars in their locked state, along with Challenges you can complete to unlock them.
  • Drivers are unlocked at the start (for quick events). We want to allow players in quick events to be able to pick any driver right out of the box. (Well OK there might be a couple of hidden characters who show up later). But you still need to unlock them in Career mode. Is this confusing? Weird? Awesome? Perfect? Please let us know.
  • You can unlock special skins – but not yet. Once you've unlocked a car or driver, you'll eventually be able to bring up a new list of Challenges which unlock a special skin for that car or driver. But this isn't implemented yet.
  • There will be more. So far we've released 22 cars; the final total will be closer to 35. Also we're trying to add 1-3 more special characters, which will probably be locked or hidden at the start. And we have other ideas about other collectables – but more on that another time.

Other new stuff in this release:

  • Career is now Adventure. Yeah we're still figuring out what to call stuff.
  • Chapter 5 added to Career (I mean Adventure, doh!) Explore swampy temple walls, battle Oog Oog, and uncover the secrets of the Tiki Temple.
  • Two new cars. Rally Pro and Lunar Rover are now available for unlocking.
  • Two new levels. Tiki Temple and Aquarius are now available in Quick Race and Championships (Random)
  • Wipe your save game. Actually we added this last upate, but we didn't call it out. You can now clear your save game by selecting "Reset Game" under Settings from the main menu. You'll be prompted "are you sure?" a couple of times, because yes this really does wipe out all your progress. Please tread lightly.
