Trackmaster has been updated to Unity 6, which brings major performance improvements, especially for large maps. The physics engine has been updated and the car handling tweaked for better stability at high speed and on moving blocks.

A new coop gamemode has been added, where the player cars are chained together by ropes and have to finish the track together. More blocks and variations have been added, the user interface has been polished and many bugs fixed.

Trackmaster will participate in Steam Racing Fest with a discount, July 28 to August 4.

Also: Trailer 2 is out NOW

• 70 new puzzles in User Pack 13
  
• 30 new puzzles in Brent Pack 02
  
• 45 new puzzles in Xabi Pack 01
  
• Fixed rare but important bug in puzzle creator

This week, we've focused on giving a twist to the story, the Moon character, and her relationship with Omi.

The most noticeable change is that the character "the light behind the tree", who used to comment on the tutorials, has been replaced by the Moon herself. From now on, the Moon will be the one guiding us through our entire adventure.

Also, at the beginning of each night, there's a chance the Moon will share more information about the world.

We've added a counter to keep track of how many nights have passed since the beginning of our adventure.

Other changes

• Language can now be set from the Steam settings.

• Redesign of the language selection, info, and data analysis screens.

• If it's the first time launching the game, a new game will automatically start.

• Fixed the bug in the second tutorial where fruits were picked up instead of eaten.

• Fixed the bug that prevented picking up objects in the third tutorial.

• Fixed the button prompt for changing chomp style in the tutorial.

• Fixed misplaced tiles in tutorial 1 and in the dungeon entrance screen.

• Localization corrections.
