Week 3 of Mid-Engine month gets scary as Mid-Engine Monsters take the track.

Career Mode will have you running in the likes of a Saleen S1, Lambo Diablo, Maserati MC12, among other Mid-Engine beasts.

This week's Spotlight car is the 2003 Porsche Carrera GT which you can get for a 30% discount and race in the Spotlight Rivals and Featured Multiplayer events.



Race S Class production mid-engine cars in the Mid-Engine Series.

Beat Jenson Button's best time on the Mobil 1 Rivals challenge starting today!

Today we wanted to give you a brief look at what content you can expect in the next update. We plan to release this update to the beta branch hopefully within 3 to 4 weeks.






This update will include a brand new point of interest to find: the Sea Fortress. This fortress is a multi-level dungeon that's built and inspired by a more grid-like medieval style dungeon, rather than the more natural caves you can find currently. You'll have to fight your way through multiple dungeon levels avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and killing difficult enemies. At the end you'll be challenged with a boss fight and some unique loot. There will also be multiple variations of this fortress to discover with different enemy types and layouts.






We're also happy to announce that you'll now be able to create and customize a character when making a new game and by visiting an NPC in-game or buying a mirror for your ship. You'll also be able to see your character in the equipment screen, along with gear you have equipped such as your hat, tunic, boots, and your weapon.





As with most updates, this patch will also include new quests, loot, and bug fixes. We are also consistently making balancing changes to things like level/skill progression, loot rarities, difficulty, and other gameplay elements based on your feedback.





We're happy to report co-op is moving along great and we've recently hit some major milestones, bringing cooperative play closer than ever. We're still in the stage of early internal testing but hope to get it ready for beta testing soon. We'll have a better update on when you can expect that within the next few months.


As always we'd love to hear your feedback and hope to see you on the high seas!

Another JDM exclusive makes its way to the Horizon Festival with an engine mounted on the front and the drive put in the back, the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo is now available to unlock for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.

Sporting a 1JZ-GTE engine, this car produced 276 bhp and could run from 0-100 kph in just 5.7 seconds. If that amount of power was not to your liking, worry not! You can get on the case of how to go faster due to this car’s incredible customization potential.

However, this car was not only famous for its ability to move forward, but also for how good it moved sideways. The Chaser GT’s rear wheel drive and potent power made it an ideal choice for street drifters from all over the world.

Street racer, star drifter, grand tourer, the choice is yours to make as you unlock this car starting September 26 and until October 3.

Heylo y'all,

Releasing a demo for people to play has been a big thing for me. I feel I really dropped the ball with the initial reveal so I've been hard at work to bring it up to a more appropriate level.

What's new:

• New area: Volatile Volcano. This area has some new enemies that have both explosive and fiery personalities. Comes with it's own new boss as well.
  
• Bosses updated. Bosses now have triggers associated with things like damage taken and can enter a second phase that changes how they behave. They also drop an item called Magnet that will allow players to quickly gather scattered exp and coins.
  
• Quests. Quests can be accessed from the new Quest Board once unlocked and are a great way to make some extra gold. Rescue quests are now the primary method of unlocking NPC facilities. The other two quests are called Defender and Exterminator.
  
• NPC Facilities. Specific NPCs now offer services once brought back to camp via Rescue quests. There are currently two available as of this update.
  
• Badge System. Brand new feature. Allows equipping up to four different badges that modify various aspects of combat such as granting a revive, increasing speed, and even doubling exp.
  
• Dash Ability. Brand new feature. Performs an intangible dash through enemies in case players get surrounded.
  
• UI update. The menus have gotten a bit of a glow-up and streamlined. This includes a new responsive input method that currently supports keyboard, mouse, and Xbox controller layouts.

Thank you for reading and to everyone who's been supporting me with this game.

Probably the biggest update yet - New maps, new secrets, new weapon visuals, new skins, new challenges, full controller support, and so much more!

I've made a new level called Junkyard!
It's inspired by a map from a very popular franchise, let me know if you see the resemblance!
It is roughly the same size as the slaughterhouse map yet less open.


The game now features full controller support! (not much else to say, but it was a big task haha)

Every single weapon in the game has been remade (by an awesome user on Discord, @CPU) - and to go along with it I've remade all the reload animations!

Alongside this, I've decided (followed by a community poll) to entirely scrap weapon attachment unlock in favor for fully fledged weapon skins.
So now also, every weapon has skins you can unlock for them! (Ofc also with fancy reload animations)



I've added a secret level - let me know if you get to play it, though don't go too insane trying to look for it.. maybe just a little manic is all

Hey all!

First of all we’re extremely happy to announce a bundle with our newly-released puzzle platformer Fowl Damage, and a bundle with the extremely popular deckbuilding masterpiece Slay the Spire! It's really exciting for us to be able to support May's solo project any way we can, and bundling with Slay the Spire (which clearly inspired a lot of Peglin's overall structure 😅). Being in these types of bundles means you get a discount on either game if you already own Peglin (and vice-versa!). The bundle discount also stacks with any other sales! We'll include links below the patch notes for our v1.0.4 update :)

• [New Boss Relic] Heavy Hand - Makes orbs hit pegs an additional time (like Orbsium), but drastically reduces the length of your aimer.
  
• [New Rare Roundrel Relic] Effective Criticism - Whenever a crit is triggered, apply a random debuff to the targeted enemy (matching Roundrel class relic intensity).
  
• [New Common Roundrel Relic] Sprouting Spinvestment - Increase your held gold by 4% when entering a ‘?’ node.
  
• Sealed Conviction Rework - Now adds 3 Ballance at the start of each battle, and on each reload instead of adding flat damage.
  
• Multiple activations on crit pegs (e.g. from Orbsium, Spinpoint, or the new Heavy Hand relic) now triggers multiple crits instead of just adding damage.
  
• The navigation orb falling into a black hole now makes you navigate to the left or right, depending on where the black hole is. If the black hole is in the middle of the board, then the navigation direction is random. This is to discourage the optimal, yet tedious, task of hitting one gold peg then bouncing into a black hole over and over during navigation.
  
• Black holes now increase in strength if an orb is orbiting inside them for over 5 seconds. This is to stop a softlock where an Infernorb can orbit around a black hole indefinitely, and shouldn’t affect normal gameplay.
  
• Refactored the aiming prediction system to remove the performance hitches happening while reloading.
  
• Malevolent Portraits now visually fill with color as they draw energy out of the board.

• Pigment of Imagination’s pegboard has been changed to reduced orbs becoming stuck, boss’ health has been reduced on all Cruciball levels.
  
• Ballanx’s splash is now buffed by Alien's Rock.
  
• Spinpoint orb at level 3 buffed to have more crit damage, and activate crit pegs an additional time.
  
• Several enemies added to invisible miniboss battle.
  
• Ball Lightning num zaps increased by 1 at all levels and made uncommon on Spinventor.
  
• Change Potion Ballt to only fireable once per battle.
  
• Beleaguered Boots Ballusion cap increased from 300 to 999.
  
• Memorb base damage increased at levels 1 and 2, memory effect increased at level 3.
  
• Highway Orbbery’s base stats increased by 1/1 at all levels.
  
• Branch of Ember blind intensity increased from 2 to 8.
  
• Haglin's Hat now heals 15% of your max health rather than a flat 10 health.

• 2x speed is now the default speedup option for new players. This is to reduce the amount of people asking how they get to 2x speed.
  
• 3x speed was causing many physics issues -- we’ve attempted a few fixes but are still seeing errors being reported. Because of this, we now display a warning when selecting 3x speed on the options menu.
  
• Added better failsafes to prevent crit and refresh pegs from disappearing.
  
• Fixed the long pauses in the Slime Hive fight.
  
• Fixed crits and refreshes disappearing in the Slime Hive fight.
  
• Fixed Orbelisk and Ball Lightning not being able to hit the slime hive and slime under it at the same time.
  
• Fix bob-orb still making inverted bombs on the brick slime peg layout.
  
• Fixed not getting Ballusion from Debuff Distractor for the Exploitaball that Stacked Orbacus applies to starter enemies.
  
• Fixed being able to press main menu buttons during the transition out of the encirclepedia.
  
• Make dull pegs that are revived when killing a painting correctly have the crit peg sprite when a crit is active.
  
• Fixed orbs not getting destroyed when getting stuck hitting a dull peg repeatedly. Also reduced the number of single orb bounces before timing out from 100 to 50.
  
• Improved the performance of shuffling many crits and refreshes at once.
  
• Fixed Slime after Slime achievement counter not resetting between navigation shots.
  
• Fixed a bug where many Ballwark status effect icon breaking animations could play at the same time.
  
• Reduced the height at which pegs can spawn in the Mirrorb event navigation layout so that your navigation orb can never spawn inside of a peg.

Peglin + Fowl Damage!

Peglin + Slay the Spire!!
