Time for another "regular" update!!!! Since the last update, Unbound: Worlds Apart , the game I previously mentioned, was released! If you haven't already, go give it a try! Now, let's get back to PalmRide! Release date No, I don't know for sure what the release date of PalmRide will be, but it will most certainly be in september (late september). So yeah... stay tuned for the announcement with the precise date.
CRT Screen This one is a minor feature, but now the game looks like it's being played on a CRT monitor. Something like:
Of course, the effect can be disabled in the options menu if you don't like it (notice that there is now a frame that covers the game... that one can be disabled too).
[strike]Taranasus's[/strike] Vecter There have also been improvements to the "Vecter" gamemode since the last update (the one with the wireframe mountains and the retro sun). Lots of game mechanics added to this gamemode were [strike]stolen[/strike] inspired from Vecter\ Take a look:
(you know the story... Steam doesn't let me upload better gifs... also, please ignore the UI for flying in this gif, since that recording was made, the UI has changed a bit... the bonuses for flight also changed..)

Custom music As some of you requested, I implemented the ability to import your own music into the game, so now all you got to do is drop your .mp3 files into a folder and the game will take care of the rest. I must admit that my implementation for this is not the best, it uses too much memory and may even crash the game. But whatever, the game is not finished yet, I'll fix this before the game is released.

General bug fixes and polishes The game is close to release, and now I am actively fixing bugs and polishing game mechanics. Now, I can't really show screenshots or gift of them because you know... you can't see the polishes and bug fixes, you only notice them when they are present. New website domain Story time. The domain for PalmRide (palmri.de) expired on July 15 and I didn't notice that. I found out that it was expired a few days later. I tried to renew it, but it was in "redemption mode" so I had to wait a month to buy it back. I waited a month... and when it got out of redemption, it was immediately bought (I don't know by who), so I had to buy another domain... and so, I bought this new domain, palmride.online. Now this is the official website of the game, here you will find the leaderboard for the game after it's released.
Also, I have tweaked the website a bit and updated the "about" section. I will also add some lore for the game on that website after the game is released, so keep an eye out for that. I've added some donation links to the website (mostly crypto), so if you're feeling generous and want to help the development of the game, you might consider making a small donation.

That's about it for this update Thank you for reading this (or at least looking at the memes/ screenshots/gifs)! Expect an announcement for the release date!
