Time Trial mode Steam Leaderboard integration
[ 2020-03-30 16:17:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey everyone, The past couple of weeks I've been trying to add some form of competition with other players, as the multiplayer in TRF is local/couch multiplayer only. My solution to this was to add online leaderboards. I'm happy to announce that a Time Trial mode has been added to the game, along with in-game Missions, both of these connect to Steam and upload your best times to the games online leaderboards. Firstly we'll talk about the Mission mode. These are generally short challenges, taking place in controlled environments (off the race track). Think similar to Gran Turismo's License tests. The first few are simple, and are good for getting used to the games car physics, such as going through a series of cones in a slalom, or a short circuit. Later ones present more challenging driving situations. Each mission has a Bronze, Silver and Gold medal time, so try and get Gold on every mission! And now we come to the Time Trial Mode: In Time Trials, you are forced to drive in certain conditions. Firstly, you are put into a Super class car. The weather and time of day is always clear and midday. You will have to complete 3 laps of the track. Time Trial mode is currently available for the base tracks that will be included when the game launches in June 2020. I will look into if I can add leaderboard support for user-made tracks, however I believe this might be a difficult ask, so for now, I can only confirm that the base tracks included with the game will support this mode. The game will launch with 12 base tracks, however I plan to release further tracks after the games release. A shield power-up has also been added, as my private testers felt it would be nice to have a way of defending yourself instead of being at the mercy of weapons. The game entered private beta testing last Friday, the 27th March 2020, and I've been getting very valuable feedback on the game from them. Thanks for reading! - Oliver

The Race Factory is made with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer and the ability to create your own race tracks. Taking inspiration from arcade racing games of the 80's and 90's, featuring drift physics, weapons to give you the advantage over the competition, and plenty of customization, the aim is to have a fun multiplayer experience, with plenty of variety to keep you entertained!
Features:
- Track Editor included in the game. This track editor was used to build all the tracks that come with the game, so you can create an endless amount of tracks to enjoy! This includes a racing line editor, allowing you to fine-tune the AI's behaviour on your track. The track editor is capable of making both racing tracks and custom Battle Arenas.
- A variety of game modes, from Racing, to Drift, to Infection, there's a bunch of game modes for everyone to enjoy! All game modes support AI drivers. All game modes support at least 4 players, some game modes support up to 8 players!
- 12 Race Tracks and 3 Battle Arenas come with the game, so if creating tracks isn't your thing, you can jump straight into the game and battle it out with your friends!
- 4 Car classes, Street, Sport, Super & Hyper. You can take it easy in the Street class, with fairly grippy tyres and plenty of time to react, it's the ideal choice for newer or younger drivers. But when you feel ready, hop into a Hyper car and be prepared to react quickly and get some drift time in!
- 7 Weapons are available to mess with your opponents, from a Bolt that will force your target into a drift, to a Strike that will hit the driver in 1st position, or perhaps a nifty Nitro to boost yourself ahead of the pack?
- Choose your time of day and weather settings! Race on a sunny morning, Drift on a rainy evening, perhaps even play Infection on a stormy night? Be careful though, in snowy weather, the cars won't respond how you'd like! And I've been hearing reports of a meteor shower???
- And let's not forget the mutators! Fun little settings you can change to switch things up, from disabling brakes whilst forcing cars to always be accelerating, to making the ground icy, there's a few little surprises in there to keep the action interesting!
