  #Son, #Birth

  Development of the game will slow down a bit, because my wife is about to give birth to our second child. I'll be busy changing diabers the next few weeks! Update: this is Vic!... Continue reading

  Latest updates: - New stage in development: Chicago! I took a couple of liberties, and put the Super Hang-On light poles in it (because I still have to rip the Turbo OutRun light pole) and my custom m... Continue reading

  This new test version has a bug fix: - L3 engines should now work properly. (Changed some values in the clutch that made the torque transfer from engine to wheels go haywire.) It also introduces rival... Continue reading

  ----- v0.2.6b ---- My little game is starting to gain a fan base. Awesome! The biggest complaint though is the lacking variety of the scenery objects. To speed up development, I usually put one object... Continue reading

  #lightspeed, #bug, #solved

  I believe I've found the culprit: a text file that represented the tire slip curve had commas as the decimal separator. English systems wouldn't recognize this comma and simply removed it, multiplying... Continue reading
• The Lightspeed bug
  July 03, 2023 by Sk1ds#lightspeed, #bug

  Does your car move at an uncontrollable speed, like in the videos below? Then you're experiencing the lightspeed bug. I don't know why this happens and it doesn't happen on any of my systems. Pretty f... Continue reading

  #damage, #parts

  This is a major step forwards in the direction I wanted this game to go: damage and the opportunity to swap parts! Also, the password system is gone and everything will now be recorded in save files... Continue reading

  
• v0.1.6 test: damage
  June 14, 2023 by Sk1ds#Damage

  ----- Damage ---- Remember the original mode of the Genesis version of Super Hang-On? It had a pretty in-depth damage model, didn't it? Well, I went a step further and made an even more in-depth damag... Continue reading

  
• v0.1.5: flames
  June 11, 2023 by Sk1ds#exhaust, #flame, #turbo

  ---- Little update: ---- On my latest video on Youtube someone pointed out that having 2 exhaust pipes with only 1 flame doesn't look right. So I went ahead and added an extra flame on some cars, than... Continue reading

  
• v0.1.4: records screen
  June 02, 2023 by Sk1ds#records, #laptimes

  Your laptimes will now be stored in an external .txt file and they will be showed after the race. I've left some space so I can add your score later. The idea for implementing this was pretty simple,... Continue reading

  May 29, 2023 by Sk1ds#jungle, #title screen, #gauges

  ----- Little update ----- Finally, a title screen! Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. There isn't an option menu yet, but that's probably going to be the next step. My nephew asked me to make a... Continue reading

  Last week I asked my 10 years old nephew to test my game. By seeing him play and through his emotions I got quite a bit of feedback (finally!). Also, he asked me to build a green car that would be fas... Continue reading

  
• AI improvement
  March 21, 2023 by Sk1ds

  From now on the AI cars can change lanes! They will do this when a slower car is approaching in front of them, or when they are on a lane that's about to disappear. While they will always move aside w... Continue reading

  To spice things up, you will now listen to the original soundtrack of Turbo Outrun and Super Hang-On. Songs will be chosen at random, but you can go to the next one by pressing B... Continue reading

  
• ABS & traction control
  March 01, 2023 by Sk1ds#ABS, #traction control, #TC

  February 27, 2023 by Sk1ds

  ----- Bug fix ----- A couple of days ago I accidentally uploaded a build of an experiment which went wrong (at that point). As a result the road wouldn't render. Anyhow, the problem is fixed and as a... Continue reading
