Hey all!
A good amount has changed. We've got a brand new track to race on, as well as three more cars to race against!
Now, at the moment, each one of the AI racers has the same behavior. In the future, the AIs will behave differently, each in accordance with their character's personality. But for now, at least the race track isn't so lonely.
And speaking of the new race track, it's more interesting than the boring square track from before.
This was meant to be a relatively beginner friendly track. I included a number of different types of turns to better prepare players for future tracks.
I also wanted to test some visuals for this new track. I added striped lines on the straightaways and circular barriers to the track edges (a la F-Zero).
These are specific visual changes added for the express purpose of better conveying speed. Each stripe and circle that the player passes by is another reference point to help communicate just how fast they are going.
That's all for now.
Thanks for reading!
