Gauntlet mode is complete with all worlds available. There are seven worlds to fight through while upgrading your vehicle to fight increasingly difficult enemy vehicles, turrets and drones. I hope you enjoy it.

Scraps itself is now almost done as well. I'll make another post in the next few days that will detail what's still to come. Much of it is actually already done in a separate branch, so we're not too far off now.

Thank you for your patience, truly.

Changelog

- All seven Gauntlet worlds are now available. Gauntlet mode is complete - Added Gauntlet mode option to test a vehicle build before deploying to the next level - Gauntlet high score list now automatically slots in high scores from any of your Steam friends - Small Capacitor is now unlocked from the start - Drone enemies shoot a bit more accurately - Barrels and ExplodeBalls do a bit less max damage (same damage radius, and same force though) - Did a balance pass on all weapons, various changes, nothing crazy - Disabled edit and new vehicle options when selecting a vehicle for an AI player in the lobby. Fixes the human player's vehicle selection getting cleared as well - Gauntlet progress now saves at the end of a world as well as when deploying into the next one, so if you quit during Build you'll still be able to continue - Gauntlet mode no longer stores scores of 0 on the leaderboard - Gauntlet mode saves now only permanently store the highest score achieved using that particular save on the leaderboard - Increased the range from which AI will start shooting, some other minor AI tweaks - Clearing progression no longer clears unlocked cosmetics. Particularly important as the "Alpha Crown" for completing Gauntlet mode while it was still in development is no longer possible to earn - Increased max suspension spring setting from 62500 to 80000

Bug Fixes

- Plasmanator now ignores proximity firing mode, so moving out of the radius doesn't cancel a held charge - Clearing user data or progression in the game options now clears Gauntlet saved progress as well - Leaving Gauntlet mode from the Build screen now goes to the Gauntlet end-game screen instead of straight to the main menu - AI vehicles now try a lot harder not to drive off the cliffs on Gauntlet Wind - Improved AI aim calculation with projectile weapons vs. moving vehicles - Fixed transparent shader rendering order issues, particularly laser weapons appearing to be behind grass - Fixed smoke damage FX decreasing with health lost instead of increasing - Fixed a couple of bugs with how AI drives in close combat - Fixed a bug with AI close combat where cars could think they were stuck on what should be good ground - Fixed audio bug when using multiple Plasmanators

Scraps: Modular Vehicle Combat is a vehicle combat game where you build your vehicle from parts, and where success lies just as much in designing a well-crafted vehicle as in your combat skills. Design from the chassis up, then pit your creation against humans or AI in a combat arena. When you take out other players, scavenge from their wreckage to repair or upgrade your own vehicle in-game.

Scraps lets you create a vehicle that’s great or a vehicle that sucks. Maybe your vehicle falls over when it corners or doesn't have enough power to fire its weapons – that’s okay. Maybe it doesn't need an engine because it moves by firing its cannons backwards. You decide what you drive.

Your design choices aren't just cosmetic - they're truly functional and at the very least affect the weight and balance of your vehicle. Battle in single-player against the AI, on LAN, or over the Internet. Easily host your own LAN or Internet games. Using the Scraps demo version, your friends can join a LAN game even if they don't own the full game.
