*EDIT: Steam seems to be taking a while to process the update so you'll see it eventually.

This is a small update; I have attempted to add a Controls menu in CARNAL, where you can change 7 of the game's button configurations. These are movement keys (4), jumping (1) and firing keys (2).

Changelog:

• Added a jank Controls menu
  
• Added hit impacts when shooting enemies with the Plasmagun

You can change the following keys:

• Forward
  
• Backward
  
• Right
  
• Left
  
• Jump
  
• Primary fire
  
• Secondary fire

As a safety mechanism, whenever players want to use/reassign Mouse buttons they will be prompted to confirm with Enter or any key.

Whether or not this fits the needs of the many and whether or not players think it's enough customizability is open for debate, to be honest I almost didn't get it working in the first place, mostly as a result of Unity's lacking infrastructure. I have been very critical of Unity as an engine during this whole development cycle, but it is an unfortunate reality in that inexperienced game developers such as myself have to write complete systems for basic stuff that players expect and take for granted. I have had better experiences to say least, mostly involving Chai Latte (-ᵥᵥ-)

So this is what I could manage in a short amount of time. The nature of having custom keybindings has also removed the nuance to player movement you may have gotten used to in CARNAL, where it now reads input in a somewhat binary sense. Basically movement feels a lot more snappy is what I am trying to get at.

Anyways long story short I hope this is more or less okay. If you prefer playing differently like oh I don't know, using Mouse 0 and 1 to move forward and back, LCTRL for fire, and S and X for strafing left and right, well then I think it will work for you. If you need more exotic options though I unfortunately can't help you, and I'd say you may have bigger problems than not being able to use WASD.

As always heckle me some feedback if I fucked up somewhere, it's VERY possible ;)

- Added 3 championships
- Cars now have different characteristics

Monthly update 1st of June 2021
This Month we have been working very hard on the beginning of the game and now we are in the final art stage of the Level, we have some images we would like to show you, this has been a lot of work as we have no levels in the game that are set in the day time, so we had to create a new skybox and then tweak with the lighting and the fog in order to get the right feel, we are now in a place where we feel happy with it but some of this could change later on so don’t take this as absolute.

Unexpectedly EPIC have released an early version of their new engine (Unreal Engine 5), and we also have an option to move our game over to Unreal engine 5, however this isn’t going to be as straight forward as clicking a button then making the switch, we need to ensure we can do this and the plugins we are using are also going to work in the engine if they don’t then we will have to make a hard decision do we re-write our plugins again and make the switch or do we stay in Unreal engine 4. Hopefully in a month or two we will know if it’s worth the change as Unreal engine 5 does have some amazing tech that we really could use for optimization.

On a personal note I am currently in the process of moving house so this will mean that development might be slow for the next 2-3 weeks but once I am all fully moved in then we should be up and running and will finally get this game finished and in your hands!
