The Xenodome, designed mostly in 2019, has had a nice 2022 refresh with improved ramp positions & a new bowl corner ramp in the Southwest corner that lets you drive upside-down. The ramps are set up in a far more functional manner than the original arrangement, and the whole stage has a better flow to it than before as it is now easier to reach the more remote areas like the Upper Plate.
Back in the v0.12.1 update on June 10, we also improved tire traction, especially when driving on terrain... you can hug the hills of Volcanica far better than previously. We have now also implemented a vert ramp guidance system to help the physics engine out on vert ramps; when cars have gone off a totally vertical ramp (quarterpipe), as long as they are within 5 meters of the lip of the ramp, they are subtly guided towards lip alignment so that the landings are likely to be smooth (barring any of the many other things that can happen to prevent that... 🙃). Because it cuts out when a player exits the guidance band, and because it only operates when a ramp is going perfectly parallel with gravity, nothing else in the game is adversely affected. We're still doing some fine-tuning of this new system, but it it working pretty good already.
Lastly, we made some massive reductions in lightmap size for all stages, resulting in a smaller game and less textures to store in memory. This optimization will go a long way in helping our release on Android devices, but is also nice for the PC side; the reductions haven't resulted in noticeable reductions of visuals. Changelog is below, and as always, let us know what you think. Hyperwheel Overdrive just keeps on getting better!

Alexandra and her Honduran Bat familiars
I would like to formally present you to the first possible character you will be able to be best friends with.
Alexandra is a very sweet and kind apprentice who enjoys quiet times reading books. She is very shy by nature and will hesitate to approach you for the first time, but she will be very happy to meet you and have the chance to be your acquaintance. She always carries her umbrella shaped like a hat to protect her from the sun, where the tiny cute Honduran Bats spend most of the day sleeping or fluttering around at late hours.
She has extensive knowledge of ancient magic history and will be of most help if you need to find some facts about a spell or potion.
Home sweet home
You might remember that we showed your several times your cosy home where you will have your bed, a cosy firepit, and books, and don't forget your companion cat will be there waiting for your pets and treats.
And here is a surprise for you, your room is part of a larger cottage outside the academy, where you will cohabit with other apprentices and will be perfect for relaxing or, if you prefer, practising what you've learnt during the day!
The cottage has a common area with chairs, a table, and a basement where you will have some of the workstations you can use to practice potions, a kitchen and other small rooms that will be revealed in the future!
