Directly to 1.0
I love the track in the version I currently have and I will love it even more with the update, outstanding work
thanks.
I'm still wondering what kind of features people expect for 1.0.
I'm leaning towards uploading a version 0.9 in a couple of days and work on it for a few more weeks / months to make it complete and then call it 1.0.
For additions to the originally planned content, sure. Extra ribbons, track lights added, bug fixes, optimisations etc. What sometimes seems to happen is an unfinished mod is released as a 1.0 even though the author knows it still needs work, but in a 'good enough' state for release. Those should by definition always be sub-1.0.There can always be a 1.x
That's hilarious. I'll be using that first chance I get.My last release is heading to the sea.
well, there's the to do list on the website ;-)I'm going to have to go around this track slowly this weekend to see if there is anything I can think of to suggest before this track goes v1.0...I certainly can't think of anything off the top of my head.
That's hilarious. I'll be using that first chance I get.
Planned for 0.9 (the "make it prettier" update)
- add some plants to all empty planes off-track
- add little dents in guardrails to avoid ugly texture filtering
- improve surrounding landscape
- arrange new sponsorship deals
- AI: fix occasional crashes at bridge 2
- add fans
- find a final solution for the tire walls
- improve 3d grass LOD
Planned for 1.0 (the pit area update)
- make square loudspeakers for the pit lane (save polys)
- add tents
- add trucks
- add cars
- add storage building near the pit area
- add flag pole(s) in pit area
- add food stands
- add crew stands in the pit lane
- add further details to the pit lane
- improve pit building's look
- add pit lane grooves
- add reverb zones
I'm taking a different approach on the billboards. Since this is a fantasy track there's nothing really to mimic, so I'm using the billboards as actual ad space. That means I'm putting up banners based on sponsorship deals. Not necessarily monetary, I'm currently mostly looking for promotion of the track.Maybe add some more Swedish brands as billboards, to give some more authentic race atmosphere?
