Version 0.9.8 - Quality of Life improvements


Version 0.9.8 is now available, with many improvements based on the feedback we received.

Improvements/New features:

  • The title screen and menus now have music
  • Sound effects (motors, etc) have been added
  • Added an in-race menu, for restarting or quitting the race, or merely pausing.
  • When falling off-track, players/AIs now respawn nearby instead or returning all the way to the start.
  • The "results" screen now has a "next level" option.
  • Thanks to using Compression and slightly better data structures, the ROM size is now < 512kB.

Bug fixes:

  • Correctly handle cases where the player jumps off-screen (respawn instead of disappearing forever)
  • Display "1st" instead of "1th" at the beginning of the race.

TODO / Being considered for next release:

  • The AI still has issues to be addressed (stuck on a wall), but at least for cases where it fell off-track, it's already better now since it respawns nearby.
  • Less blocky trees
  • Tweaking the kart sprites for less jerkyness
  • Tire animation?
  • End sequence (ATM, even with all princesses, nothing special happens)
