Noice. I can see a flame there!

[Camel]

:hmmm: I want to buy it now. >.<

:hmmm: I want to buy it now. >.<

I would defiantly recommend it. Im only a junior member atm so only get monthly builds but want to upgrade to weekly builds.

 

As the community owns most of the project you get money back from each sale if you buy into it now (Y)

[Camel]

:hmmm: I'll wait till after Christmas so I know where I'm at with money.

[T3hReaper91]

Fair enough :') Worth a buy though whilst its pre-release though (Y)

[Ryzza5]

lol, it'll be pre-release for about another year yet. Do you only have 2 tracks (plus test track) in that build? New one has WIP versions of LA, Bathurst, some karting tracks and more cars.

[T3hReaper91]

I have bathurst but its like really rough as the walls you can just go through them etc also have imola and another one + one or two go kart tracks xD

[Ryzza5]

Cool. Yeah Bathurst is in very early stages - I was amazed that they even released it to us that early

[T3hReaper91]

Yeah can't wait till i get the next build.

The new build is quite cool actually, including the Caterham R500 and a 'hot lap event'. Unfortunately I'm not very good at finetuning so I can't get past 1.19,995. How are you guys doing?

[The Compensator]

Me gusta.

[Ozzmcom]

hmmm I might actually get into this , looks great.

Woah - Ben Collins finally found the 'Ben Collins Questionaire' thread on the CARS forum and started answering a few Q's:

 

WMD Forum

 

 

 

Here's a taster:

 

Which cars were the most "deceiving". That is, cars that you figured would be fairly docile but turned out to be animals? Or cars you expected to do well around the track, yet when put onto the track, was just rubbish?

Quite easily the Alfa Romeo 8C - looked like Elle MacPherson; drove like a wheelbarrow

[T3hReaper91]

Yet another video from me. Loving the Caterham but i feel like i can't push as it just looses all grip.

No wonder you were so good at Imola last night

One of the team members made a trailer and Ian Bell was more than happy to use it on their front page:

 

 

 

I'll try to be concise:

 

For the next few weeks up until Christmas we will continue the design input phase as well as working on core essential tech. The game design document will then be updated and agreed by everyone, followed by a detailed schedule. By mid-February or so we should be fully started on the main implementation phase which will follow the design document and schedule closely.

 

Up until that time our core tech and art focus will be on the following, to give you an idea of what to expect from upcoming builds:

 

1. Continued work on physics and handling.

2. New input system to eliminate lag.

3. Dynamic environment system (time of day and weather).

4. Comprehensive leaderboard system.

5. New cars and tracks.

6. Continued work on making the GUI more usable.

7. Minor features/options suggested by members which have a low cost.

8. Ongoing bug fixing (focused on major issues only).
