New Slopecrashers Demo

Of course for this occasion I prepared a new demo version with TONS of things that I talked about in the previous announcements (not all yet, but a lot). Changelog: Content:

• Snowman Slope is now a playable track.
• Arcade mode with 7 different events (no demo tour for now since I am revamping the campaign structure of the game (I will talk about that more soon and also will need your feedback on my ideas)

Gameplay:

• Opponents have different difficulties (still needs more enhancements)
• Grabs can now be chosen via Left Stick + R1 (or use the right stick directly)
• Manual steering considers driving fakie now (no more steering left and going to the right)
• Opponents in pole positions are trying to defend their position better
• Opponents don't have a trigger finger anymore and are a little more chill now
• Slow speedclass is slower
• You cannot snowboard on light cones and fog anymore (yeah that was a thing under specific circumstances)
• Manuals on right stick change direction directly instead of needing to also use the left stick
• Slight steering while charging a stunt is now possible
• Steering while doing a manual and charging a stunt is now possible
• Stunt safety and (Jump button tap) now will also let you do a stunt if it prevents it but then recognizes it is actually possible
• Special tricks implemented
• Added more visibility to the lift on snowman slope
• Reduced wait time on Neon City Lift
• Breaking is faster so if you want you can actually stop in front of the lift
• You can stop the character with the brake buttons (Left stick back or (B) <- or whatever you bind to it)

UI:

• New ingame UI
• New endscreen (I already noticed the layout problems with the points animation)

Menu:

• Returning to the menu brings you directly to the current mode instead of the title screen
• Items don't "randomly" explode (when there are slight bumps in the road)

Sound Effects:

• First character voiceclips integrated

Bugfixes:

• Manuals without any directional input does not make you able to fly up walls
• Stunt safety is not showing up anymore when it actually didn't really help at all
• Removed target practice sound effects from other modes
• Removed infinite rotation inside lift (It was a fun bug... But it had to go)
• Removed a bug where under specific circumstances the player respawned in a shortcut, even though the shortcut has been passed for quite some time already)
• Fixed AI bugs that sometimes disabled them from steering until they crashed into a wall

Options:

• First startup initiates an auto benchmark and should choose settings according to your setup
• Added Keybindings per Player (This was a massive change actually and I am still working on it and ironing out some bugs, it is also now possible to separate prewind from steering for the old school players)
• Scalability Goups
