Hey there, Racers!

Many things have changed in KartRider: Drift since the second Closed Beta back in June of 2020. For this Dev Blog, we’re talking about two of the most important improvements, the tutorial for first-time Racers and License Mode missions where you can improve your racing skills.
The new and improved tutorial helps you find your wheels by teaching you how to play and introducing you to the basic driving controls through more natural gameplay with the aid of a new friend for our beginning players, Joy! You'll be able to experience the new tutorial during Closed Beta 3, starting on Wednesday, December 8!




While the tutorial gives you the basics of KartRider: Drift's mechanics, if you want to get better, you'll need to test and improve your skills through the new License Mode missions!

Undertake various missions to increase your understanding of KartRider: Drift through diverse situations. As you complete the missions, you'll improve your driving and drifting skills. And unlike the tutorial, this isn't a one-and-done deal: License Mode missions give objectives for repeated practice to help you continue to develop your racing abilities!

Experience the new License Mode missions on Wednesday, December 8 during Closed Beta 3!





Make sure you sign up for Closed Beta 3 now so that you don't miss out on the fun week of racing ahead! This is your chance to compete with Racers from all over the world. The Closed Beta begins on Wednesday, December 8 at 4:00 PM PST! We’ll see you there!

Hey guys,

Just a quick update today, a few small bugfixes and adjustments are in this update but the main addition is an upgrade to Monster Modding.



Wow I couldn't believe how many talented artists jumped on our monster modding update. These players created real, full monsters with the custom crossbreeding mechanics you already know and gave them a fresh, totally new sprite. They've been adding them to our pedigree gallery as well, so anyone can grab them using a pedigree code (as long as you turn modding on).

Visit Gallery

I had to drop everything and add full crossbreed support for all these excellent artists!

If you're already a modder or would like to dive in yourself, grab this image and edit it in your favorite image editor to a design you like. The Red means the lighter color of the palette goes there, the Blue means the darker


credit to Ahab's Artwork for this sweet alternate Dracoyle sprite, which is available on the gallery as well.

Once you've created the sprite, you can use this site to set a new base monster sprite OR, with today's update, add a whole crossbreed family! One for each type of crossbreed to make your monsters feel more authentic than ever :)



Jump to Sprite Mod Tool Here

MASSIVE thanks to Modulo on discord for sprucing up the tool and helping me to add this functionality. Without him this would've taken much longer, and probably still not have looked as nice :)

Once you've received the code, copy it and go back to Monster Crown, on the party screen hit F11 and you're cooking, just like Sunday's update.

Thank you so much for all of your passion and creativity this week, I'm in awe, but it's something you guys have made a common thing for me.

Regular patch coming this weekend.

New World Update 1.1.1 will release at 11pm PT (7am UTC) on November 30.

Greetings Adventurers!

This week’s update is focused on resolving some of the issues that have arisen from our November Update. Our development team is continually working on improving the New World experience and they thank you all for your patience and reports that you continue to make on the official forums. A full list of changes and fixes can be found below.

Motes from Elemental enemies:

Fixed an issue causing a large number of motes to drop from elemental enemies.
We also removed elemental motes as rewards from gathering elemental creatures and reduced the amount of other resources acquired from them to account for the number of them in the world and the frequency at which they respawn. The original intention with these creatures was to make them challenging and infrequent encounters in the world. The way we used them in practice resulted in them becoming less dangerous and more frequent which caused an imbalance with the amount of resources they provided, compared to the primary sources such as elemental plants and stones.

MISSING HORTICULTURE GEAR
In our latest update, we made a mistake that treated all tiers of the in-game Horticulture harvesting gear as future content, and unintentionally removed them from the game. We apologize for this bug that has caused you to lose some items you rightfully earned. If you have lost an acquired piece of Harvester Armor you should have an extra Rewards Chest in your Inventory after this update.

These reward chests contain a full set of Horticulturist armor provided at the highest Tier you personally have acquired in the past for any piece of the Harvester set. They are also rolling at the maximum Gear Score for that tier, and will be useable at any level to ensure you can equip them. These items are marked as Bind on Equip like any Harvester armor piece you would encounter normally. Once you open the chest it will provide you 5 items:

• Harvester Hat
  
• Harvester Shirt
  
• Harvester Gloves
  
• Harvester Pants
  
• Harvester Shoes

HOUSING
Re-enabled trading, moving, and salvaging of furnishings/housing items

CRAFTING
Fixed a bug where Jewel crafting recipes were not granting enough trade skill XP
Recently we lowered the amount of trade skill XP provided by lower tiered items when a player reaches a new tier of crafting bases per skill. To use metal as an example, when a player unlocks Steel recipes they earn less from crafting iron recipes. We did this to emphasize crafting higher tiered items as you progress through trade skills and to also improve the value of higher tiered materials. Our intention behind this change is to reward players for crafting higher tiered items as they progress through the ranks of each trade skill. Before this change, we found players were spending too much time crafting low tier items as opposed to pushing their crafting skill up crafting items that they may actually use at their current level.

TRADING
Fixed an issue where players were not able to fill Buy Orders from local Storage Sheds

SERVERS

• Technical groundwork for server merges
  
• War performance enhancements

GENERAL BUG FIXES

• Void Gauntlet - Fix to Oblivion not going onto cooldown if player swapped weapons during skill startup
  
• Void Gauntlet - Fix to consumable status effects being cleansed by Oblivion
  
• Fixed an issue that was causing Jewelcrafting to not award appropriate amounts of XP for higher-tier crafts
  
• Fixed an issue preventing players from earning the Lumberjack achievement

Thanks for your support! We'll see you in Aeternum.

We are going to bring a decent sized update in a couple of days; We recommend learning new fighting techniques for the new combat, Practice fighting against defenseless helpless Bubs while you can, Enjoy no fall damage while you can. Oh and Halloween will be switched out for Winter.

Writing continues on the next major updates, but in the meantime here is a minor update with a few balance changes and bug fixes.

• Changed: Increased the overall chances that personality traits trigger a new event
  
• Changed: Reporter personality traits have much greater influence on the score of an issue than previously
  
• Changed: Greater chance that Kellum Ded will murder a celebrity in chapter 5 of the game, after you feature that celeb
  
• Changed: Unlocked desk element data is no longer part of the save file. Available desks are calculated based on progress.
  
• Fixed: Stories taking more than a day to write, were not registering properly.
  
• Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts for changing the map scroll speed were not updating the meter on-screen.
  
• Fixed: New desk surfaces now unlock properly when you level up, and can be used to customize your Editor's Desk.
  
• Fixed: Backwards compatibility issue with older save games, from before the last update to Challenges.
  
• Fixed: The filler content no longer refreshes every time you reload the office screen but remain consistent for each issue.
