Hey! It's been a minute... roughly 4 years, a pandemic, and a studio name change later... but we hope there are still some players interested in Space Ribbon. If that's you, hi! We have some gameplay improvements that may interest you.

Updates we have made to the latest build of Space Ribbon:

Improved vehicle handling (you should fall off the track less often - if you do find the track difficulty too difficult, play more often!) [/olist]
Hope this reaches the far reaches of Steam and a few Space Ribbon stragglers. Our next update will be within a more reasonable timeframe if we spot any problems or if players would like to see anything added! Get involved with the community and just let us know. Thanks for sticking with us all this time, CGA Studio Games (previously Onteca)

Numerous small fixes, the highlights are ... - VR comfort improvements - virtual screen for replays, better camera positioning and better ui placement, fewer uncomfortable camera motions, single pass rendering for higher frame rates. - Track recovery times - strict limit on the amount of time you spend out of the race if you fall off the side or back of the track. - Car handling improvements - Track generation improvements

Hi all, Tentatively we announce V1 and bring the live game and VR inline with the Switch game release. We are sorry it has taken us longer than we expected but now it is inline and the VR is radically improved.

Some more small fixes.

• UI Displays Current CC Difficulty Selected
• SteamVR doesn't boot up when game is launched in Non VR mode
• Bug Fixed with Firing blank missiles

Quick patch release to improve the driving model and the balance of the levels New shoulder button system for firing offensive and defensive pickups. Known issues:

• We know there are a few problems with the VR and the way the menus appear, the game is still fun though and we will be fixing in the next day or tow.
• The yellow speedup bar represents the slipstream you are picking up from other vehicles. We are going to make that clearer in the next releases.

V 2.26 Accelerate moved to Z key, it was causing problems on Shift We have heavily optimised performance for laptops and old PCs, we think the game will run on pretty much anything if you select "Fastest" from the quality drop down.

V 2.25 Big improvements to the procedural track generation, much more interesting and challenging tracks Lots of little bug fixes for the VR particularly on Vive Improved driving model with better collisions Slight reordering of screens to incorporate the garage in game flow Fix most of the attract mode messing with car select screen bugs but one more fix to come tomorrow Don't forget we are nominated for "Best Race Game" and "Best Arcade Game" by TIGA. You can vote for us as "Game of the Year" at http://tiga.org/awards/game-of-the-year. We are not super confident we can beat Batman: Arkham Knight but you never know if enough people vote.

V 0.21 It is still experimental but we have included a special weapons cup which allows for pickups and firing of weapons (A and LB) Also shields allow you to bash into people much fun and chaos. Plus performance optimisation and bug fixes and in-game localisation of over 20 languages

Virtual Reality arrives in Space Ribbon We are pleased to announce that Space Ribbon supports Virtual Reality on both Oculus and Steam VR. We have been playing Space Ribbon here in VR for the last 6 months and really enjoying it. Racing through space in VR in Space Ribbon is super cool and is so far one of the best VR experiences we have found. Check out the quality of the car models, they just look great. Gaze in awe as you chase the giant Tiger. There are no screenshots that do this justice you just have to play it and say WOW

Roll up of the days fixes based on player feedback 1 - Fixed the end of race position errors, now appears to be consistent and correct 2 - Added a Win32 target. 3 - Thanks to @hup for confirming that Steam Link works. 4 - Controller d-pad fixes. Coming Soon VR Support, we have it playing nicely on our test builds and are aiming to make it public this week New cleaner user interface

Update containing minor game fixes since launch and responses to player feedback 1 - Made the Panda Cup slightly harder 2 - Sorted some visual errors in 4 player split screen 3 - Improved Race Replay to be easier to use and prettier, you can now hide the GUI with the X key, good for making videos etc. 4 - Move to Unity 5.4 (the game engine) this brings speed ups in performance for some users Known Issues We are working on a fix to the race rankings, occasionally in tight races the wrong finish order is reported
