NOTES

The Halloween 2021 mini-event is now over! Those who have completed the Graveyard track alive and earned the badge now have access to this year’s skin set. Unfortunately, Psycho’s shirt currently uses the default as the edited version was moderated and we do not have access to the file at the moment. This will be fixed sometime in the new year when Rifo is back from school.

For the game’s new logo, I’ve decided to push the change back until after the Christmas event is set to end. I was originally going to have it changed for this update, though because Rifo is currently away we’re unable to have finishing touches made. Though the blended revision of the logo won the community finals last month, we ended up deciding on using the Train version of the new logo as this was the one that was preferred by a large majority of the team as it looked less busy.

This version of the logo is the one we’ll be switching to though currently is a bit outdated and missing a couple of minor changes other revisions had.

In other news, we’re also currently working on this year’s Christmas update which is planned to include voteable train types and first person viewmodels. I’m expecting this to be finished by early December though I currently have no confirmation on that. After Christmas, I plan on catching up on all the accepted track submissions while also starting some work on the BETA update.

stay tuned :skier:
