Update 0.9.5 Now Available!
Wacky Wheels HD Patch Notes — October 8, 2016
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Who's ready for an update? Version 0.9.5 is here and it has a number of important updates, including:
- Online multiplayer support!
- Tighter steering with new manual drift button*
- Boost after drift! The longer you drift, the bigger the boost
- Three game speeds (aka difficulty) available in Settings
- Higher contrast railings
- New mappable keys including shift, control, command and more
- Minor track revisions
- Various bug fixes
** To drift, hold the brake and gas keys simultaneously.
Online Multiplayer
Two game modes now support online multiplayer: Practice and Shoot Out. This is very much barebones multiplayer. You can host a game, join a random game, or join someone by their IP address. Once the race is over, you need to start or join a new race. While eventually the plan is to build up features around multiplayer, for now we simply need to see if this mode works out in the real world!
Just as an FYI, when in an online match, AI players will show up as semi-transparent.
Next Steps
The goal is to get to 1.0 this month! So please report any issues that come up with this build.
Thank you again to everyone who has participated in beta and Early Access!
