Added Races to the game!

Happy to announce a new big update for Troskias Island, after lot of work in this past few months I'm ready to release a new game mode, get ready to RACE, up to 12 AI opponents and with support for 4 local players on split screen.

This update was a blast to work on, there is a lot of new stuff added to the game and I learn a lot about creating a game with split screen, I have to say that Unreal is amazing when it just works, and split screen is one of those things.

So what's new?

 let me add a small changelog

• New Race game mode accessible from main menu.
• New track more suited for racing.
• 3 new cars available for selection.
• Tweaked handling of the car for this game mode.
• Shortcuts and Nitro mechanics.
• New UI for the race.
• Full joystick support (UI navigation and gameplay).

Future of the game

This will be probably the last update of the game, I'm a little bit tired of this project at this point, it was amazing to work on this and see all the things I created, but is probably time to jump and work on other more interesting ideas. Nonetheless these are the things I would add if I wanted to continue with the development.

Music and Sound

At this point I'm pretty piss off with this, I'm just no audio guy, and doing this right is HARD, but music and sound will improve the game %100 no doubt about it.

Tournaments

Right now I think the best I could add to the game is some kind of tournament mode, it shouldn't be so hard to add it, as the base game already have 90% of the functionality needed, what should make most of the work is creating at least 3 new tracks, that could take something like a month, and more if I want to play test every map and do revisions afterwards.

General Polish

I would love to have a better presentation of the game, the 3d environments for the main menu and the car selection are simply blank, the idea was to make some kind of garage, and all the buttons and UI could look better, I know.

Also on the gameplay I would love to add more sensation of velocity, adding some shake to the camera and improving how the FOV works, the boost don't have any visual feedback when activated, except for the UI. I think this would add a lot the the game feeling.

The AI could be so much more Intelligent than Artificial :S

That's all folks, fell free to comment with feedback, I would really appreciate it.
