August Update Preview
With this update, you'll be able to bind different sets of keyboard controls, to any set of valid keyboard keys. Grab your friends and huddle around the keyboard for some local multiplayer!
Next on the agenda, the first new car since the launch of Early Access: the Truck! This little guy is aimed at providing close racing and a heavier feel than some of the other vehicles in the line-up so far.
We're looking forward to seeing people go door-to-door in it when the update goes live, and we think it'll be a player favourite when online multiplayer launches in the coming months!
We'll be continuing to build out the objects and variants available in the Track Editor with this update. A few of the things you can expect can be seen in this preview image - and you might find a few others scattered throughout the images we post on social media over the time leading up to the release date!
Once again, TuomoH will be working his magic and delivering a couple of new tracks to our default set. These tracks will be aimed at providing a fun racing experience with the Truck, but will be great additions to any championship!
The menus have been reworked, both to improve their visuals, and also to improve their underlying implementation. This will allow for further expansion in the future, and hopefully fix a few of the UI formatting bugs that have been reported.
This is the first part of our rework of the menus, and not many new features will be added with this patch. The second part of the rework will be aimed at incorporating keyboard and controller support in the menus, as well as improving a few other things, too!
Along with the update, we'll be shipping the Russian language (thanks to Paul Kozlovitch for contributing this localisation). In addition, localisations for Italian and Polish are in progress, and hopefully we'll be able to ship those in the upcoming update, too. We hope that this will allow more people to enjoy GeneRally 2. If you want to help us in translating GeneRally 2 into your native language, please get in touch with us!
We'll also be fixing a variety of bugs, and implementing some other small changes and improvements - these will be included in the patch notes when the update goes live!
At the moment, all we can say is that the August update is coming at some point in August. We have quite a few changes that need thorough testing before they can be published, so please stay tuned for a more specific release date!

It's time to take a look at what is coming up in the August update! As part of launching
into Early Access, we said we'd be making one major update per month and this post will
let you know some of what you can expect from August.
Please keep in mind that everything in this post is subject to change - we may find
a bug or problem that prevents us from including certain features - but this is the broad
set of things we're hoping to include.
Keyboard Key Rebinding
With this update, you'll be able to bind different sets of keyboard controls, to any set of valid keyboard keys. Grab your friends and huddle around the keyboard for some local multiplayer!

GeneRally 2 is a friendly top-down arcade racing game - with an easy-to-use, built-in track editor. GeneRally 2 is the sequel to the 2002 classic, GeneRally - one of the most played arcade racing games of all time! Have fun racing alone against the AI; with your friends in "no split-screen necessary" couch PvP; or try your hand at creating tracks and sharing them with the world.

- Experience a wide variety of fun and interesting tracks created by us, by the GeneRally 2 community - or make the perfect track for you in our track editor. With 60+ objects (and more being added all the time); 12 different surface types (from dirt and gravel, to snow and ice); and a feature-packed terrain-editing tool - the only limit is your imagination! Upload your creations to Steam Workshop and share them with the world. You can even import tracks from GeneRally 1 directly into the game!
- Race against the clock (and the ghost car) in time-trial; against the AI; or with friends in couch PvP (online multiplayer coming during Early Access). There's no need for split screen - the whole track is visible at once - so grab your friends and family, and get racing! Compete in single races, or see who's victorious over multiple races in championship mode. Up to 8 players can play together on the same computer.
- Customise your car and stand out from the crowd - adjust the colours and paint scheme for you and every car in the race.
- Detailed car physics take account of many different real-world parameters like drive-train type (FWD/RWD/AWD), suspension travel/rebound, weight distribution and more! The cars are easy-to-learn but hard-to-master, based on a realistic physics simulation.
- Plan your pitstops and manage your fuel, tyre wear and damage over the course of the race - or turn all of those off and enjoy unlimited ability to run your friends off the road!
- With a variety of different cars (5 at launch, more coming later), each with their own unique performance and handling characteristics, there's never a dull moment.
- Tweak the AI opponents for closer racing - choose between multiple driving style "profiles" and adjust their skill level to battle for victory.
