Tuesday Update - May 26, 2026

Yo! We're a day late because of Memorial Day. Hope everyone had a nice long weekend (in the US at least).

We're coming off a strong playtest run — six builds in six weeks — and now we're shifting gears. The playtest is wrapping up today, and we're turning our focus toward some big-picture stuff: rider customization, UI overhaul, modding support, prox chat, and environment art. No new build this week, but there's a ton happening behind the scenes. Here's what we are focusing on this week.

Michael

• Porting the modding tools over to the current build and fixing issues with lighting, skyboxes, and a pink texture bug on mismatched platforms.

• Setting up the foundation for our new UI system using Unity's UI Toolkit. This will make it way easier to build out menus and screens going forward.

Joe

• Complete redesign of the game UI. I'm starting with some design mocks first. I'll implement them in Unity once they are all ready.

  • Here are a couple of previews of the Main Menu and Settings Menu.

• Adding trails to the map and setting up racing on a bunch of new trails.

Maggie

• Starting work on the rider customization system.

• Environment art assets.

Damien

• Finishing up vegetation assets — grass and ground plants — and distributing them to the rest of the team so we can start filling out the world.

Cedric

• We're up to 55 trails now! He's continuing to finish out the current open-world map.

Julian

• Back on daily community management — catching up on comments and DMs that have piled up.

• Planning content around the playtest wrap-up and what's coming next.

Bryan

• Continuing international outreach, focusing on France and Ireland.

That's all for this week! If you want to continue playing after the playtest ends, consider becoming a paid Patreon member for full access. Have a great week!
