Hello speed demons, time is melting away! I've done a ton in the last two months but somehow it still feels like nothing! Here are a couple of highlights.

In between races you’ll be hitting up The Wheeling Fool, a small bar frequented by Karting League members.

Initially this was meant to be the interior of one of 5 club spaces but, now that it's shared, carpeting felt a bit out of place.

The carpeted, wood-panelled, claustrophobic, smoke filled version was inspired by what it was like going indoors as a kid. Imagine you're eight years old, people are chugging toppes so bad you can't see faces as you stumble around bowling lanes just trying to get near a light source.

The revamp has a little bit of Le Cagibi, a sorely missed cafe bar from Montreal’s mile-end that had a toilet right next to the stage, a dank, windowless pub in Dublin, the ancient oil soaked wooden garages my dad would drag me to while he dug through boxes of tools and parts; and of course the bowling alley above the BMO my mom left me at for lessons back in Chambly.

The new details add a lot to dialogue scenes, hopefully tying the bar to the outside world a bit more. I also made some more bar junk and gave each character a unique place setting.

On the racing side of things I've revamped how rain and tyres interact. Despite different visual levels, rain was only on or off and all tyres just had their grip lowered the same. Now each tyre's Wet rating determines how they are affected by rain, and each level of rain (drizzle, rain, shower) handles differently.

I may have gone a bit overboard but there are 15 tyres to choose from, and each one changes your center of gravity, maximum rpm, and stability.

That's all for now. My current project is zhuzhing up the end of season. I'm still draggin my feet with the trailer and Steam page... who knows, maybe this is the week it happens!
