After two years of Early Access and a Very Positive (92.5%) review rating, Turbo Sliders Unlimited has reached version 1.0 and was fully released today! During the Early Access period, dozens of new game modes, features and content were added. With the level editor, vehicle editor, campaign editor, AI editor, and an amazing community creating content, the game is a truly unique community-driven sandbox game with Unlimited possibilities! This doesn't mean it's the end of the development, but a new era has begun! [previewyoutube=5FbIRmHXhro;full][/previewyoutube]

As the Full Release approaches, this is a good time to look back at some of the incredible creations already made by the amazing Turbo Sliders Unlimited community. With so much excellent material, it was difficult to choose which ones to include in the video, and unfortunately, many great tracks had to be left out. However, this video should still give an idea of the versatility of the levels the players have created. [previewyoutube=hwJioCEUlV0;full][/previewyoutube]

Turbo Sliders Unlimited was released to Early Access in April 2022. After that, an incredible number of new features have been added. Last year, 97.2% of the Steam reviews were positive. Now, the time is ripe for the Full Release, which is coming on September 12! Here are just some of the new features added during the Early Access period: dedicated servers, team support, soccer game mode, drafting support, tag game mode, fuel support, Time Trials campaign, tire wear support, collector game mode, capture-the-flag game mode, missile support, weapon battles, triggers, AI players, Quick Game, Race Challenges campaign, campaign editor, AI editor, ranks, achievements. In addition to that, a massive amount of smaller features and new content was added. This doesn't mean the development will end here, but a new era starts! To celebrate that, here's a new trailer now with more explosions than ever! [previewyoutube=XaeUOsJx0LQ;full][/previewyoutube]

The latest game version added a brand new Race Challenges single-player campaign. Also, there are now 11 new race circuits available in all game modes. Other major new features include stats, achievements and a new rank system. The full release is getting closer!

Meet the latest and super-fun addition of the long list of Turbo Sliders Unlimited game modes: Capture the Flag battle. In it, your team wins by capturing and safely bringing home an enemy flag. Alternatively, you can of course just do it in the old-fashioned way, too, and wreck all enemies. There are already many user-made Capture the Flag levels available in the Steam Workshop and they have proven to be great fun. This video shows an example of a 10 vs 10 online Capture the Flag battle event in the example level Flaggerblast. [previewyoutube=H6MSFUpL4Vo;full][/previewyoutube]

This video demonstrates a 20-player 6-lap online team race using Formula TSU and track Circuit de Americas by Liskomies, both available in the Steam Workshop. Most formula tracks that are available in the Steam Workshop now also have global leaderboards for Formula TSU. Event features enabled: teams, drafting, tire wear, fuel and pit stops Physics: added extra collision steadiness, collision balance and stuck avoidance [previewyoutube=yZNu4hB7otM;full][/previewyoutube]

• In shared collector mode, the winner is the player or team collecting the most out of the common collectibles in the level
• In exclusive collector mode, each item can be collected by every player or team
• Added a new physics setting, Collision Extra Stability - when non-zero, extra angular mass is added to vehicle-vehicle collisions

Turbo Sliders Unlimited now natively supports Linux. This fixes some online connectivity issues there were when using Proton (either with Linux or Steam Deck), and also increases the performance. All online features of the game are cross-platform. Join the community on Discord to find others to play with: https://discord.gg/QCHEsuwQwT The game can be launched either with OpenGL or Vulkan. Which one is better for you might depend on your system and hardware.

• Experimental Linux version included, with a better controller support, might work better with SteamDeck

• Added a new "action" control (by default Return on keyboard, replacing "brake2" for joystick), hold it to not get more fuel in the pit (while changing tires)
• Added the possibility to create vehicles with "complex locking" braking: smoke doesn't come immediately - optionally affects grip, braking and tire wear
• New steady collision box for the formula model - with 100% steadiness, fully contains tires (enable Physics / Old legacy collisions to use the old model)
• Added a new experimental physics setting, Stuck Avoidance - reduces some cars getting stuck when driving next to each other (by adding sideways movement)
• Vehicle camber angles can now be tuned separately for front and rear wheels - also inverted the sign to use the standard convention

• Doubled the maximum length of sequences (like walls) in levels
• Session standings can now contain up to 100 players (multiple pages if more than 25), meant especially for multi-day sessions with changing players
• Starting light object(s) in levels now change color based on whether the event is on
• Removed the black glasses of the main lights in the Sport2 vehicle model (was LOD popping, too)
• Made the maximum No ball touches time in soccer tunable, previously it was hard-coded to 30 seconds

• Added setting Respawning / Start Behind When Hotlapping to always start hotlapping from the behind position
• Vehicles being refueled are now by default immovable (uncheck Pit / Immovable Pit Stop to disable)
• Refueling bar now shows the estimate on how many laps the fuel lasts (or percentage if no estimate)
• Levels with pits must now define a pit slowdown area - how much (if any) slowdown there is is defined by event pit settings
• Slowdown area can be defined either by corner points (convex polygon) or entrance/exit points (two checkpoint line segments with directions)
• Added pit slowdown areas and some new decorations to the built-in circuits
• The amount of fuel consumption inside the pit slowdown area can be changed (1/3 by default)
• It is now possible to finalize a circuit without a pit, too
• Editors now show messages on the amount of fuel if fuel is on when testing
• The fastest lap audio sample is now much shorter and played after the first lap, too
• The start/pit templates can now be used more easily by using the new prefabs under the Templates category in Level Editor's Object Editor
• Vehicle editor now has its own event settings, also added a button to edit them
• Fixed equal ghost mode start positions not really being equal if the level had overridden start positions
• Fixed not being able to place paint textures correctly on certain places on certain vehicle models in Customizer
• Miscellaneous other minor fixes and improvements

• Added experimental fuel game mode: when on, cars can run out of fuel or refuel by making a pit stop
• There are lots of event specific fuel settings: how long fuel lasts (seconds of full gas), refueling time, empty tank slowdown and full tank slowdown
• The default drafting speed effect is smaller now (10% vs. the old 20%), also renamed the Viscosity Reduction setting as Speed Effect
• The most important drafting settings are now shown before an event (and the server also shows info about changes)
• It is now possible to save session standings (bottom-right save icon), making it possible to continue a session later - or just check the standings and graphs
• Standings can be loaded at the Session Init state - levels, vehicles and settings are not saved with standings so a session can be continued with different levels, too
• To support loading standings in local games (or to check the standings of an old game), a local game can now also be started with a Session Init lobby (the gear icon)
• Added a new more fair Spread Tag mode in which the first initially tagged player who tags someone else gets untagged
• The new default tag mode is now Spread tag with two initially tagged players, with the first one being able to transfer the tag
• If there are 20 Tag Start Positions in a level now, they are used for everyone when respawning as tagged (previously only the initially tagged used them)
• Added information about the tag mode and start positions to the level editor help texts
• It is now possible to give bonus points for players who survive untagged in Spread Tag (+5 by default)
• Only dedicated servers automatically end a tag game now if there is only one player
• Fixed interleaved team positions sometimes ending a team tag game immediately (if a tagged player position was skipped)
• Cars driven by local humans are no longer shown as ghosts when watching a recording of a ghost race
• Added a warning when trying to finalize a track with unbuilt roads (still ok if really intended)
• Miscellaneous other minor fixes and improvements

The game now includes a fun new game mode, Tag, with two variations: Spread and Tansfer. In Spread tag, getting tagged is permanent and the game ends when everyone is tagged. In Transfer tag, the tag is transferred and the goal is to stay untagged - or get rid of the tag as quickly as possible. There are two built-in tag arenas, but of course, players can also make their own tag levels with the level editor, or play tag in levels made for other game modes, too.
