[h3]SDK[/h3]
- Added hot-reloading worlds using command: load_world reload
- Fixed a bug with existing map-making feature 'flip gate exit'
Its obscure; There wasn't any workshop maps using it. Just in case, it works again.

[h3]Future stuff[/h3]
Gonna use this to inform yall that I plan to price the game up by $1-$2 in the future, as I'm working on a content update. If you already own the game you will get it for free. donutFu

Sometimes streaming development of that DLC live on my Twitch channel, if you're interested (In the evenings, Mountain Time UTC-6).

main news:
added hang gliders to mt.zero island, which you can get by completing the regions in at least silver.
(they'll show up on the map once you have them)
its a non-competitive item; just a reward you can fly about with.

- runs now continue correctly if you rewind back through rifts
- fixed rendering bug in workshop tool
- adjusted physics constraint solver slightly

added handslide / handplants
- edited a few animations
- player goes through the ground less when fallen off *and now has active animations to protect themself from getting hurt :)

late flips
- flip trick sound effects
- wind sound for when your going fast
- game loads a bit faster

[h2]Online[/h2]
Multiplayer has moved out of beta into the main game. The global server is connectable from the hub world. The gameserver is located in London but you should have an ok time anywhere in Europe or America. Thanks to those who came and tested!

Online changes during beta:
- added simple chat messages
- friends names show on the map



[h2]Hub World[/h2]
The world system has been replaced with a hub world which lets you switch characters and boards out without losing your place in the worlds.

[h3]Regions[/h3]
Courses can now be completed in silver or gold (no-rewinds) and count towards the region's total achievement. You can see the regions on the map or in the hub.


[h2]3 New Characters[/h2]
A few new people join us including legendary old man skate legend John Cockroach.


Minor Changes (/full patch notes)
- allow respawn when fallen over instead of only rewinding
- world map now shows current lighting instead of grey
- workshop maps show their preview image before you load them instead of point clouds
- added practice world
- added extra paths to Mt.Zero and Downtown maps
- added stars to skybox shader
- improved stability on hard landings sometimes throwing you off incorrectly
- clamped grind speed glitch
- re-added timing strips to the ui (+ gold segment status)
- can sit down in the walking mode
- removed invalid scores from highscore server
- fixed freecam going wonky sometimes
- added spark particle system for grinding in completed regions

To join: right click skaterift > Betas > Beta Participation
set it to beta.

You might need a friend to test if there is no on else online.

Hello guys, I extended the spawn map to have an actual city part for more street skating styles.
There is a couple new style challenges to test out. The modelling is roughly inspired by Atlanta and Nashville.



Hope you enjoy it.

Minor patch notes:
- Fixed workshop tool showing /worlds/ instead of /maps/
- Camera height option
- Adjusted skating animator (related to how the character adjusts balance)
- Extended replay length (I think up to 20 minutes now).

Changed rewind controls
- Fixed jitter on drop in animation (thanks: Fnugz)
- Console now uses the scancode to open it. Should help with euro layout keyboards. Press the one underneath escape.
- Enabled playermodel submissions
- Patched user interface jank in the workshop tool.

Switched rewind system to a replay one. Same button, but you can scroll back and fourth to keyframes to reset there
- Slight animation tweaks

Fixed physics engine crash on some world geometries (thanks: DonkeyKong64)
- Fixed loading screen flickering

Your position, world, and board choice is now saved between playing
- Reset now has the option to go to closest spawn or back to home world
- I was working on another unreleased thing but turns out it allows you to revert -- if you crouch and then stand up you can 'flick' into a revert or powerslide quickly.
- added console command set_time <0-1.0>
- worlds without lights are now permanently in the evening, never goes night time.

this notes:
- Chosen playermodel now correctly saves again
- Enabled map submissions to the workshop

and since the last patch notes went missing i'll include them here:
- Fixed jitter while in walking mode
- Fixed jump input being missed on >60hz monitors (Thanks: JustFredrik)
- Fixed occasional/random startup crash related to audio engine

New map
Visit Understate DIY park in the USA.


Theres a few things you can do here like:
[h3]Visit the board shop[/h3]

No paid skins, lootboxes or anything here, you get access to the workshop for free and can share or download pretty much any design that we can come up with.

[h3]Play with the completed version of grinding and tricks[/h3]


Other
As well as a bunch of updates to pretty much every system, there is of course some improvements to the original map Mt.Zero Island.


[h3]Soon[/h3]
Within the next few weeks the maps workshop will be open, as well as guides on how to make stuff for it.

[h3]Patch notes (minor changes)[/h3]
- There is too many to list, but the most notable is that the controller input system was made more robust to handle switching and finding the right controller.

[h2]The following applies to the beta version:[/h2]

• Added occlusion effect for player (Thanks: Fnugz)
  
• Added console variable fps_limit . set to 0 to enable vsync, -1 for adaptive vsync.
  
• Added timer texts to gates
  
• Updated interpolation method for physics objects (should look a bit smoother on high framerate monitors)
  

Quite a bit has changed, but since this is not the full update yet, some features from the base game are unavailable in the beta (achievements, lap times). The new and old versions are downloaded side by side and you can pick which one to launch when you start the game.

Some new features include: tricks, proper flips and grinds on any surface not just rails.
You can also switch to third person, seems to help a lot if you get motion sick :)

Theres a couple more things planned for the full release of this update, but for now its here to test out the new physics and stuff. Hope you like the changes

added: controller_deadzone
- various map QA fixes. thank you: JHead
- fixed undefined behavior related graphic bug. thank you: lacyyy
- ragdolls now use an entirely new constraint solver - should look a bit more natural!

New feature: Boardslides


If you see a bright yellow rail somewhere, it means you can boardslide it by jumping up to it. You can balance yourself by pushing the control forwards or back.

Tweaks/Graphics

• Added motion blur effect
  
• Water/Sky were improved
  
• Gate rendering fixed glitches
  
• Falling off no longer kills your current run
  
• Physics adjustments (angular dampening reduced)

• Switched to SDL2 for window/sound management
  
• Added features to map exporter
  
• Improved rigid body interpolation for systems running less than 60fps
  
• Added some more detailed checks for physics objects to reduce ghost edges
