Update Speculation thread

I cannot tell you how much i am looking forward to reading the changelog when the update drops

 

I wonder in the background. On the left you can see what I assume is the end of the map with the mountains, but on the right it doesn’t seem to end. I really wonder how they’re managing that. Like is it just the render distance not showing mountains really far, how do they end the map? If they’re really copying the original place it can’t be an ocean. I’m really curious.

 

Maybe I'm still a bit subconsciously disappointed by the map not being set in Australia (which is 100% a "me"-problem) but I'm still not that excited for it. I'm sure it'll win me over once I get to drive there.

As far as the Autobricko is concerned, I'm all over it. I don't even know why I like it this much lol

 

Yes.

 

I'm famous now thanks for using my post as a inspiration

 

That's what I've been thinking, as well. And yeah, I don't think the Piccobuggy's related to the others all that much, but it's still the same sort of idea - take a pre-made engine, build a tube frame around it, and then slap some other pre-made parts on the frame.

Ah, that makes sense. Good to see more re-using of stuff to easily make more classes of vehicles. As far as I can see, we've got every major class of Baja/Dakar vehicle in the game now (aside from the ATV sector), and with how big the map's looking, we could have some proper KOTH-esque events in the multiplayer mods.

The Wendover technically has gone the longest from concept to release, having been teased in 2012 and released in March of 2021 - almost nine years difference.

At this point, the changelog's gonna be more of a novel with how much stuff'll be dropping.

 

Is this unusual, or is this the case for most updates, to have been at least over a year in the making prior to their release?

 

If it's been years in the making as stenyak said, I'd love to learn more about the development process and what led up to 0.27!

 

i think i did it not sure i'm a bit of a noob (don't let my name fool u hehe)

 

The fact that you can hardly even see the camp/ city on the map when looking at it in Twitter quality shows how huge the map actually is! I had to look at it in the development media thread to actually see it

 

Leeloo, you guys are going to make a post on social media about "one last teaser before the update", the day before the update comes out like 0.25?

 

Was it mentioned here that the creator program was updated yesterday?

 

I think so

 

gah damn

 

uhh, I really feel sorry for Wendrover, some of the cars that came out after him, or before him, are more popular than he is. Unfortunately, this car is given less attention than others

 

I'd like to think that we can see the little cclues of these kinds of scenarios, like with tire theramal we can already see some code about it in the wheels but turning them to true still had no effect because they need a lot more than a true or false to work and I imagine this for example has been in the works for far too long, you even improved the tire desing and how it behaves in this meantime

 

I like the Soliad Wendover quite a lot, actually.
