This weeks update is the most major of the Alpha so far, so read ahead to see what's new, and what to be excited for. New Damage Model The new damage model has really stepped up the feeling of the game. Calculations are made as to who hit who, and then appropriate damage is done based off of the relative velocity of the collision. It means less damage done to you when you hit someone, so it feels better to play. This still requires tweaking, and will be addressed in hot-fixes. Multiplayer This patch hallmarks the release of Multiplayer for the game. It will be Peer-To-Peer based, where players host the games themselves, in a similar style to that of Minecraft, Terraria. This does require Port Forwarding for now (8421 for those who are interested), but hopefully in the coming weeks we'll move onto a system which doesn't require that. The current system is purely an implementation to test the Networking, and to enable people to play with/against their friends for now. It will defintely change in the future. Multiplayer will no doubt have many issues, so expect several patches and hot-fixes addressing any issues that crop up. This will be pushed later on tonight!

🎮 Full Controller Support
Project Taurus is an arcade racing game crafted in a voxel art-style designed around a group multiplayer experience. Built with the idea of playing with a small group of friends, you can all jump in easily together, play against each other, strangers, AI or even on the same screen! Split screen support allows you to play with friends on the same screen from the comfort of your own living room, chairs are overrated anyway.
With several game modes ranging from a standard race to a demolition derby, constant entertainment is guaranteed. Even if you have only 5 minutes, you can launch up the game and have fun without the need for commitment. Practice against AI in singleplayer, or exclusively play against them. Taurus is yours to make your own. Play it how you want, when you want and with whoever you want.
Add your own taste to your vehicles with car customisation, didn’t you always think your bright pink Tiny looks even better with a spoiler? Let’s not forget the skull that you’ve kept hidden away for all those years, that’ll look brilliant on the front. Add your own tastes and let other people bask in your hideous/beautiful creation.
Built for fun over realism, the gameplay represents both a charming and enjoyable experience. Crashing into friends with an insanely powerful car pinging them miles off is all part of the game, and something intended. Realism is out of the window, fun takes full view.
