Hello everyone, It's time for another update! This one adds a new vehicle class, Busses! These are big, heavy vehicles. Slow turning, slow moving... just slow at everything really! They're pretty long too, similar to trucks, but not articulated, so they're tougher to manoeuvre around tracks. A pretty big memory issue was also fixed, meaning the amount of RAM used during a race is much reduced. Here's the full patch notes for the past 2 versions, as they released close together: 2020-037 (04/12/2020): CHANGE: Changed location of the wheels on Busses. CHANGE: Changed the particle effects for Busses. CHANGE: Made collision box a bit smaller for Busses. 2020-036 (03/12/2020): ADD: Added a new vehicle class: Busses CHANGE: Done a large optimization on how the terrain is placed, drastically reducing RAM usage. FIX: Fixed a potential memory leak linked to the shop. I hope you're all enjoying the game, thanks for the support so far! - 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!
