Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
Its basically in testing phase but the guts of it are working well and we are scheduled for a big update this weekend to include spectator cam functionality and a Ghost to show your personal best time. (vid of that below..) It's rocket drone racing.. 3D but from a side view. The time trial style of the game is like Trackmania where there are no collisions with other racers and the general control / difficulty is a little like the simplicity of Trials.
2 buttons is all you need but also a lot of Ratchet type skills
All of you will of course be remembered in future.. We have the ability to modify your drone.. IS82 members will of course get something unique for free.. maybe a little stratos hood ornament.. who knows but if you use th esame email address as here to sign up we'll find you.
Well Thank you. Would really appreciate some general feedback on performance of the game and any gfx lag shizzle if any. Should be pretty lightweight but computers are annoying.
ahh great to hear thanks Bryce.. We think its a little bit difficult atm for newcomers.. but does get interesting once you get the hang of it. The tunnels are a bit too tight though to start with. I'm opening things up a little bit.
OD! loooong time...
Nope, no ipad action yet but has been made with mobile in mind.. and at the moment looks like you will be able to play against PC players from ipad too.. !
here’s a little recent vid of testing out the new Spectator camera stuff.. both windows same player.. it’s not me talking on this.. but sharing screen / setting a new world record time. Cant talk and beat records.. too much for the brain..
Were adding something that will show all players the fastest players ghost... so as soon as anyone beats the fastest time everyone see this new updated ghost when they start. Should be epic. General replay functionality all arriving soon enough with some new rail-camera options etc. there's a long way to go on things but if we want people streaming the game... and for it to have any ESL style appeal then cool cam angles and race info essential.
Ive just started to add some basic details like vents etc to the walls. Some steamy fumes around these would be nice.
'Rat Cam' is literally a thing already.. not much more to say on that yet.*CHEESE
We had hoped to get this new build released last weekend but people on holiday etc meant it all got a bit too tight. Will be trying for this weekend instead and a whole lot of tweaks and improvements already made. Either way it's here any day.
So after a few weeks of work we now have xthrust release 1.0.8 is available for download at www.xthrust.com
With this release, we introduce the xthrust launcher.. It will keep your game updated and allows us to update the game more frequently. I recommend deleting any previous version of xthrust you have installed.
Hope you enjoy the improvements and always appreciate feedback.
