Last week, the multiplayer code was released to the upper tier members.
Last night, the number of eligible players was increased to "Full Member"
and above. Although still fairly bare-bones in terms of features, the
actual netcode is surprisingly good. I've had lots of good side-by-side
racing with no associated net weirdness.
I addition, the first iteration of the new tire model (STM, "Seta Tire
Model") has been released. Although currently mainly applicable to the
Formula cars, it will soon be specced out to the remaining vehicles.
(Actually, any vehicle with racing slicks will currently benefit.)
So, things are moving fairly quick now. When I posted on Oct. 3rd, the
total funds were 3,064,350. Now they are at 3,141,270... an increase of
almost 77,000 euro in only nine days. Once it gets to 3.75 million, it's
gone So if you're still sitting on the sidelines, you don't have too much
longer to make the plunge. The break-even point for getting your money
back is projected to be 250,000 units sold. Since the game will be
offered on *all* platforms, that 250,000 figure should be easily
surpassed. So if you want to:
- Be part of the development
- Have fun now playing an awesome game
- Make some money at the end of the day
then you should get involved now. The clock is ticking. :)
