Development Update #33
Hi guys, today's update shows; new garage, new car storage, a ton of Stagea zenki+kouki bodykits, as well as some S13 coupe and F360 ones.
The garage pictured is the first garage of the Private Alpha, it has 1 car storage spot and all the same features as the Prologue garage.
The single car storage spot doesn't matter anymore, since we now have the "24/7 Car Storage", featured in pictures 5, 6 and 7. It is a parking garage where you can store as many cars as you want and access any one of your cars from any garage instantly. Storing cars here will cost you a daily fee per car. Video will be shown of it once I finished the SFX.
You can rotate the platform around when viewing your car and open all doors. You can use storage as many times as you want in a night but it does progress time a small amount.
In the Stagea bodykit pictures some kits may be missing rear photos; this is because they share the same rear as the kouki/zenki version. The kouki/zenki Stageas will be separate cars.
Development is going well; S15 is fully playable with only a few small fixes needed, New QOL fixes to customization menus are currently being worked on and will be finished before the end of the week (jump to store option, faster transitions, wheel/handling adjustments in main menu, ect.), races and AI are working but still being tweaked along with new shortcut which allows you to jump back to PA from end of race menu, map and traffic freeroam are working well.
What still remains is;
Gas station menu
New Parts unlock tier system
Import other new garages
Import and rig new wheels
New Crews
More race routes
Importing of new Cars for AI
Importing and rigging of new engines
Private Alpha scripted intro
Many small fixes
This is the minimum to release the Private Alpha, but it will need to go through closed testing before that. It will most likely enter closed testing in November, which will mean an end of December release.
You will be kept updated about when it enters testing, at which point the release date will become concrete. The most active among you will get access to closed testing.
See you all in 2 weeks time!
