Minor Update (Build 4139), New Workshop Highlight

(community level "Striker" by Phimeek) Happy 2016! As you may have noticed we've removed the Christmas decorations this week with a new patch. While this update is relatively small, we did toss in a few improvements.

Build 4139 - Jan. 7th

Modifications

Reverted Christmas-themed loading screens back to the old ones
Removed "Reindeer Car" option

Level Editor

Added Tool "Subdivide Track" which adds a track node in the center of a track segment, making it two segments
Added the TestFromCheckpoint tool to the level editor that will move the car spawner and jump into the level to test from that point
Added Ancient Sideless Road object (Roads > Ancient > Sideless)
Changed "LinkID" on the TeleporterEntrance to "Teleports To" to help clarify its functionality
Pressing "Enter" in the level editor when the color picker or a popup list is open won't try to run the snap track nodes tool
Pressing "Escape" now cancels color change when color picker is open
Pressing "Enter" now closes color picker
Pressing "Enter" now confirms change when using move / rotate / scale tools
You can now type in numeric values when using move / rotate / scale tools
Snap Track Nodes tool can now be run when nothing is selected (it prints a line explaining how to get it to work in the level editor)
Removed extra spacing in level editor tab tray layout
Trigger colliders are now displayed in the level editor both visually and in the properties
Meshes are now combined when entering play mode in the level editor (should improve performance when testing levels)
Removed the ability to set the colors of the wheels on the CarSpawner in the level editor

Bug Fixes

Fixed issue in Aftermath where the gravity toggle could get hit unintentionally while in the gravityless zone if just missing the teleporter
Fixed bug where SnapCarSpawnerToStartZone tool wouldn't undo/redo properly
Fixed bug where the level editor would lock up if a Directional Light was apart of a group (only affects older levels that had Directional Lights)
Fixed bug where color picker could stay open when testing the level
Fixed bug where properties tab would sometimes fail to update
Fixed flicker in property tab when selecting different objects

HELLO TO NEW PLAYERS!

If you're one of the many to pick up Distance during the Winter Sale, thanks for supporting the team! Distance has been in development alongside a passionate community since our Kickstarter in 2012. We wouldn't be where we're at without players' encouragement and constructive feedback. If you'd like to dive deeper into our community, I recommend checking out Speedy Saturday and the community-run Discord server. Speedy Saturday is a weekly community-run meetup where fellow players race the latest Workshop levels and chat on Discord. It's a friendly group, and I do my best to join in when I can. Read about it here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233610/discussions/0/528398719786414266/ As 2016 fires up we're constructing our tentative plan for the year. We're also doing our best to read through all of the feedback generated during the holidays. Keep the great feedback coming, and stay tuned for our next major update. - Jordan (@torcht for more frequent dev updates)

Distance is a survival racing game that combines the intense action of arcade racing with the exploration of an atmospheric world. You control a unique car that allows you to boost, jump, rotate, and even fly through a chaotic and twisted city. The world has a mysterious history, and as you explore you'll be able to uncover pieces of its past.

The roads are treacherous and unpredictable with obstacles around every corner. Instead of doing laps on a loop, you'll be trying to survive to the end in the quickest time. Since your car has several abilities, it allows you to not only drive fast on the track but also upside down and on buildings and walls! You can also fly to discover new shortcuts and paths. You'll be able to take on the roads alone, or in multiplayer with your friends!

The game is a spiritual successor to the multi-award winning game Nitronic Rush, created by ourselves and 5 others at DigiPen Institute of Technology. It was widely praised for its innovative mechanics, visual style, audio design, and atmosphere.
