DESIGN/PHYSICS
  • Visual damage is now more dynamic and gives a better impression of sheet metal being deformed.
  • Collisions between light and heavy vehicles are now better balanced, with light vehicles not appearing as feather-weight in collisions.
  • Decreased the sector protection effect of the visual customization parts and/or increased the weight of selected parts.
  • Removed the effect of vehicle body panels absorbing damage, so all damage goes directly to the chassis health.
  • Tweaked gameplay damage for Normal and Realistic Damage to match the visual damage more closely.

  • In Custom Race, the player start position is now randomized to the second (latter) half of the grid.

  • Added a placeholder Credits item to the Main Menu Misc section.

TECHNICAL

  • MP: Player stats overlay is now disabled while spectating.
  • Adding heavy customization parts no longer results in the vehicle acceleration stat being reduced to 0.0.

  • In a Custom Event, AI now correctly uses lawnmowers when the lawnmower AI Set is selected.
  • Increased the amount of mesh particles (the shrapnel-y bits and pieces) emitted in collisions.
  • Mesh particles now use custom vehicle color, matching the car color they’re emitted from.

Eine kurze Geschichte der Videospiele

Die Geschichte der Videospiele beginnt bereits in den späten 1940er Jahren mit wissenschaftlichen Tüfteleien. Die erste bekannte von ihnen war “OXO”, ein Tic-Tac-Toe-Spiel, in dem man gegen den Computer antrat.

  1. Mit großen Schritten geht es Richtung Veröffentlichung. Seit dem großen Update mit den UI-Änderungen habe ich schon wieder fast 100h drin versenkt, mir fehlen jetzt eigentlich nur noch mehr Mitspieler. Hoffe, es sind noch ein paar Kröten für Werbung da.

  2. Unglaublich wie schnell sich das Spiel nun entwickelt seit THQ übernahme. :)
    Wird immer besser, macht jetzt schon Mega Spaß! Endlich mal würdigen Nachfolger zu Destruction Derby :)
