Update v0.61 - Mar 20th 2017 - Horizontal SplitscreenGP (2P)

Horizontal SplitscreenGP is here!

A lot of players get a little queasy when playing splitscreen in a Vertical set up, while others get queasy with a Horizontal setup. Thankfully you can now switch to the one that's most comfortable to you. Look for the Setup button prompt on the kart select screen in the SplitscreenGP menu to make the switch. List of changes:

added a Horizontal splits option to SplitscreenGP
added more vibration events for more rumble immersion
added a check for when single player switched controllers mid race to stop another vibrate-forever bug
added punchier avatar changes in the 4 race position HUD avatars
fixed 3d walls looking dark in mirrormode
fixed costume change arrows sometimes showing up on wrong players character
fixed infinite lives glitch in SplitscreenGP

Besides these changes I also updated my Unity version to the latest release which has had the unfortunate side effect of adding around 45MB to the file size of the game! I'll be doing some investigating in the coming week to find out where this extra bloat has manifested and I'll make an effort to reduce the file size back down to what it was for the next update. One other issue introduced by the Unity update is upon starting the game you might get a firewall notification letting you know the game is attempting to contact Unity's Cloud Service. This isn't an intentional connection attempt, but seems to be happening because the Unity engine has had some new Online Multiplayer code added to it. You can feel free to permanently block the connection attempt (that's what I did here) and the game will still run just fine. I've sent a support request to Unity3D and hope to have that resolved for the next update too. Keep on karting on! 1leggedseagull

Super Indie Karts is a classic retro '90s style karting game with a collection of Indiegame themed race tracks in both the 16-bit Super style and the 64-bit low poly Ultra style. With Time Trials, Grand Prix, Splitscreen GP, Quick Race, and Battle Modes there's plenty of ways to tackle the tracks!

The game was KickStarted late in 2014 and is aimed for completion in 2018/19. You don't have to wait until completion though as you can join in now with Early Access and the Super Indie Karts BETA builds! The BETA currently boasts over 30 characters, with 32 Super tracks, and the 4 recently added Ultra tracks, to play Single Player or 2/3/4 Player Splitscreen in Grand Prix mode (and in Mirror Mode) and in Time Trials. Battle Mode is currently locked out of the game as it's undergoing a serious overhaul. More play modes, characters, and features will be added as the Early Access weeks drift on by.

With one foot firmly in the past, witness authentic '90s hardware limitations such as:

Super Style

shockingly bad draw distance!
fast, incredibly small, almost claustrophobic, tracks!
trees and obstacles that pop up 5 yards in front of you!

Ultra Update

increased draw distance and track area size!
large open antigrav racetracks that corkscrew and loop-de-loop into the skies!
more cranked up than a joypad with a double wedgie!

Retro Sensibilities

World leading watermelon physics engine! (featuring Blast Processing!)
1992 style screen curvature and motion blur! (optional)
Indie Game crossovers you know and love, and some you don't yet know you love!

More info on the final game:
Play as some super Indie Game characters, coming to battle it out in some super Indie Game themed tracks! It might get a little bumpy out there as there are plenty of weapons on the track to spin you out: Melon Cannons, Exploding Pangapples, Melted Gelatos, Heat Seeking Loconuts, Giant Halloween Pumpkings, and 3 different strength Chilli Boosts!

Indie Crossovers so far include: - Runbow - Freedom Planet - Teslagrad - Whispering Willows - Fist Of Awesome - Read Only Memories - Lobodestroyo - Canabalt - Duck Game - So Many Me - Toto Temple Deluxe - Aegis Defenders - Adventures Of Pip - Shutshimi - Gentlemen Ricochet - A.R.E.S. - Holobunnies - Clive'N'Wrench - Cross Code - PowerDrive2000 - Guacamelee! - and many more to come! With over 40 tracks to race on, in 3 speed classes, plus mirror mode, there'll also be plenty of achievements and unlocks to keep you drifting and burning pixel rubber 'till the pixelated billboard sun goes down!
