Aztec Update


Hey everyone, we are happy to announce a new update for Traction Control! We've added a new level, new challenges and new paint jobs to unlock, as well as quality of life improvements and general polish.

Cars:
-Car jump heights have been increased
-Boost force for all cars has been slightly increased
-Boost spend rate decreased for all cars except The Azimuth
-Updates to car braking and drifting
-Various minor handling tweaks

The Samurai:
The Samurai has received substantial adjustments to bring it more in line with the other cars in the game. Namely, the boost spend rate has been substantially reduced and The Samurai is now much more capable of drifting and earning boost.

The Boar:
The Boar has had its flip sensitivity increased, as well as a greatly increased jump height.

The Whirligig:
The Whirligig has had its drift sensitivity and flip sensitivity increased.

Points:
The drift threshold for points has been adjusted to prevent drift points being awarded without performing a drift. This adjustment is actually fairly substantial as it makes it more difficult to build up points consistently over time, as well as makes maintaining a trick combo more difficult. In order to counter act some of the negatives, we have greatly increased the combo decay timer to 5 seconds. Reducing boost spend rates across the board also acts to counteract the general reduction in points

Temple:
Temple is our new level, its a long, mainly linear path with many tunnels and obstacles. Temple supports Explorer, Trailblazer and Freestyler game modes, and comes with a set of new challenges to complete.

Multiplayer:
Multiplayer collisions are now toggle-able, so you may turn collisions on and off at will. Similarly, collisions have been disabled when players are respawning in order to prevent unwanted collisions.

Tire Tracks:
We have added tire tracks to all cars. An early implementation to be sure, but we still believe they help with definition and perspective.

Challenges:
We have increased the total challenge count to 100! Most of the new challenges are in Temple, but a small few of them have been added to existing levels.

Paint Jobs:
We have increased the total paint job count to 40! Unlockable through Explorer challenge, as before.

Game Version:
We have added a UI element to display the users version of the game. Going forward, only players with the latest version of the game will be able to access multiplayer elements
