So what's life been like recently? Well this:
I've made this announcement on the Vecter discord but I'm going to forward it on here as well since it didn't generate as many emails as I expected:
If you are experiencing the issue with YouTube not playing, but instead getting a full white background or just the video never starting, can you please immediately exit the game, go to this folder
"%userprofile%/AppData/LocalLow/Taranasus/vecter"
Put everything in there in an archive (zip, rar, 7zip whatever you like to use) and send me the files to taranasus@vecter.online
The issue is still happening for some people but not for me and I need to collect and analyse data to see what is happening.
Thanks @everyone
Okay onto what's changed
- This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhfTBVRoRU0 Now plays with audio as well. There will have been a few other videos that suffered from this bug. I absolutely hated this bug and it took 2 hours to fix
- Road would loos transparency if the youtube video was removed from your clipboard, this has now been fixed
- Added a Halloween achievement, more details closer to the event
- Youtube Playlists were failing in some circumstances. This has been fixed
- Skyway transparency issue with the road bellow it has been fixed
- Added a learn more button to the tv on the main screen someone complained that it's inconvenient to have to go googling whatever's on the screen afterwards, which is fair enough
- Bug in multiplayer where for keyboard it would say [Button 7] instead of [Escape] has been fixed
- Fixed a rare but annoying instance where the game wouldn't play youtube, but instead would show a white screen that people would fix by restarting the game / their pc / deleting logs. Hopefully it never comes back.
- In case the fix above doesn't work 100% of the time, I've added some extra logging to help me figure out what's going wrong
- Video fade from nothingness and between eachother when playing a playlist has been quickened, smoothened and overall feels better
- Video will now fade to content when video actually starts playing as opposed to when video was requested to start playing. People with slow internet would get a few good seconds of white screen waiting for the video to buffer, this fixes that
- If you give it a link to a video that's been deleted, the game will now just cancel playing the video and proceed as normal rather than showing you a white background
- Made another fix for videos not playing sometimes for no seemingly good reason.
- Default controller mappings for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and DS4 have been added to Linux
- Fixed a ridiculous ammount of YouTube playlist-related bugs including:
--- Playing the audio from the previous video
--- Crashing when transitioning between videos
- Fixed a bug when the audio wouldn't pause for a youtube video when the video would pause.

🎮 Full Controller Support
- [326.53 M]
There are obstacles, there are enemies, there are power-ups and there will be plenty more to come! I hope you're good at staring contests because you will not have the luxury of blinking!
Compete with your friends and with strangers for the top spot of the daily leaderboard. If you're top dog for that day, you remain top dog for that day on that track forever! It's all you, you did it!
And you don't need to be in-game to show off your position, you can also take it to your friends house and brag about your greatness while everyone is awkwardly ignoring you for boasting about something nobody's even heard about. Here's the link in case you need it
One important thing to note is that Vecter does not have a road-map, or a planed out future. There is a trello board with features that I plan on implementing and the feature request channel on the Vecter discord server.
I'm a one-man dev team, and I'm making this game purely out of passion around all of my other IRL commitments, so development sometimes may be slow. It's a hobby and a damn fun one at that but at this stage it's still just a hobby.
Among other things I'm also making an arcade version of vecter complete with it's own cabinet.
