Update 6.61, Cleaning up-date
April Fools was around the corner, and because we were going to make Thinking available and clean up the festivities anyway, might as well go the full length and push out an update to remind you nerds we exist! While you’re up here reading this, I’d like to remind you that this entire log contains some very useful stuff, so reading the entire thing is 100% recommended!

NEW STUFF

  • NEW MECHANICS! You can now do some epic trick-looking things! You can dive/lunge in the air by pressing CTRL, and back-lunge on the ground by sliding, holding CTRL, and pressing space!

  • NEW STAT! Dive Power! This determines the power at which you dive/lunge in the air.

  • NEW TRACK TYPE! Gravchange! Whenever you touch this track, it’ll change the direction of gravity to the track face’s direction.

  • QUICK RESET! Hold G for 0.5 seconds and you’ll reset

  • DAILY MISSIONS! When you start playing, you have 24 hours to complete 3 missions. You can’t get new missions after completing them until the timer runs out. When you complete a mission, you will receive 100 cash ! There are currently three mission types:

    • RACE: complete races
    • BAND: complete races using a specific band
    • WIN: take a top 3 spot using a specific band

  • REVAMPED STATS SCREEN! The stats screen is now split up into 4 sections, and even has a new section, called “ADVANCED MECHANICS”, which provides useful info on mechanics such as diving!

  • VECTOR TOKEN COUNT! You’ll now see your current Vector Token amount below the money in the shop!

  • CUSTOM CURSOR! yeah that’s right we got a fancy new (technically old) custom cursor

  • MAP CREDITS! YAY! If it’s a community map, you’ll see a fancy “BY | ” label next to the map name.

  • NEW SKINS! buncha new skins (lost count, silly me), made by

    • Dec_ade
    • TriDrops
    • kraftedkiwi2468

  • aaaaAAAAAAAND NEW SEASON! Season 10! double digits pog

CHANGES
  • Lighthouse got a bit of a makeover, trackwise and lookwise
  • /dsrank got fancied up, now confirms whether or not you want to change it to that, and whether it was filtered or not
  • If you’re in the queue and in the shop screen, you can now just click the exit button if you want to return to the main menu. Gone are the days of tediously clicking “EXIT QUEUE” before returning to the main menu.
  • Camera mode now swaps to movement or mouse depending on what device you’re using and what option you picked for that device type
  • Camera mode now saves
  • UI color now saves, and can be loaded in the same place it can be changed (Rank 21s, you know where this is)
  • Rank is now displayed alongside the display rank if the player has one
  • The record path is now recorded 2x as often as before! This will affect any records after this update has come out.
  • Band records now sort by name, like a true gamer’s game.
  • Grassland Canyon start and end checkpoints made wider
  • Not very noticeable track cleanup on Air Temple
  • VIP Server map selection should now tween properly
FIXES
  • You can boost on controller again! No longer are you controller players permanent no-boost challenge players.
  • VIP server “temporary ownership” has been fixed! Now you don’t need an epic friend to join if you want the map selection menu! But I hear games are more fun with friends…
  • Camera mode no longer different before and after you die whenever you start a race on mobile and console
  • Usernames containing underscores are now displayed properly in the Stats page
  • Heartbeat delta is no longer used in the jump power equation! (basically, your frame rate does not impact the power at which your jump starts off with, framerate still affects falling)
  • Patched skips on <insert basically ever map with skips here>
  • Hole patched in sandbox
  • Void Gears are usable yay
  • Bounty is no longer lost when you head back to the race finish screen after having left it once already
  • Rank 22s can now change color
  • You now fallout whenever you get stuck in the Carbon City center thingamajig. No more Esc, R, Enter over there.
  • /dsrank fixed
