Hi everyone! Today we released a new build on the experimental branch. It includes new editor features, several new decoration objects, and best of all our new dynamic particle system.
Before we launch the particle system officially we wanted to give the level creation community a chance to give feedback. It's opened up some amazing possibilities for Adventure mode content, but I'm even more excited to see what some of you can do with it.
Warning: For those new to Distance, experimental builds are unstable builds with the latest features for early testing. Read about accessing it here.
Experimental Build 4183 - Jan. 30th
- Added ParticlesGPU, a particle system which moves all calculations to the GPU
- These particles are highly adjustable in the level editor
- 27 example presets are in the Decorations->Particles folder (e.g. Snow, Rain, Sparks, DiscoDanceFloor, NeonTower, etc.)
- Added the ability to use TurnLightOnNearCar and PulseAll
- Made it so when creating a road piece while selecting a road piece, it will copy the colors of the selected road piece and add it to the end of the selected road piece
- Updated PulseAll component to be a bit more user friendly and made it an addable component
- Added new "Irregular" simples category

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.
