New Track Editor Released!
[ 2021-03-29 15:55:07 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello everyone!
It's been a month since the last update, but I've been working for hours each day to bring you this new feature!
The track editor is getting a new "advanced" mode. In this mode, you can place "nodes" to define the track shape, rather than placing pre-defined track pieces. The new mode also lets you modify the terrain, allowing you to add water to your tracks, without making them entirely water.
The old editor remains, and is now listed as the "basic" editor when you open the track creator.
Here's a quick timelapse of me making a simple track in the new "advanced" editor:
This will hopefully allow the creation of new and interesting tracks, definitely it will allow you to make tracks that closely represent what tracks would in real life.
There are still some things I would like to add and refine with the editor, so stay-tuned for future updates to it.
That's not all that's been added in this months update however. A new mutator has been added, which can be purchased for 5,000 coins in the in-game shop. A few people wanted a more "realistic" experience with the cars, and for them to be less drifty. I don't know if I achieved what they wanted with this, but I had fun making it!
The mutator will basically add weight to the cars, make them accelerate/decelerate slower, and make them turn slower. It means you may need to start braking to handle the corners properly when you have it enabled. The AI have been modified to take the extra weight of the cars into account, but they might still have some oddities while I work this out.
And with the 2 main features of this update out of the way, here's the full patch notes for your enjoyment!
2021-010 (29-03-2021):
ADD: Added the ability to create tracks using splines.
ADD: Added the ability to alter terrain in the track editor.
ADD: Added a choice of which editor and environment you want to use when first making a track/arena.
ADD: Added "Settings Applied" text when saving and applying settings in the options menu, so players have confirmation their settings are saved.
ADD: Readded Delete Progress and Delete Ghost Data buttons back into the options menu.
ADD: Added a new mutator "Sim-ish Racing".
CHANGE: Terrain graphics for the environments have changed.
CHANGE: Environments in the track editor are now set when you first make a track, and cannot be changed afterwards.
CHANGE: Fonts have been changed slightly.

FIX: Fixed various sound issues with Zen mode.

As always, please report any bugs you find and any suggestions you have either in the forums here on Steam, or over on the TRF Discord server at: https://bit.ly/2OIgGPq
Thank you all so much for your support, TRF has had more support the past 2 weeks than it has since launch, and I'm grateful for that.

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!
