Update Speculation thread

Awesome thank you so much for taking time for us to respond. You are the best Deb team ever. I hope you have a amazing day/night

And yay so update soon ish ( can't rush fine art )

 

Are there any news regarding the removal of TorqueScript?
The last mention with date of this in the game files is from 08/09/2021. Has there been more work on porting TorqueScript code over to lua?

 

Well sheesh, usually I'm just in here to read the madness. But given your answers, especially the last one, these are some significant news!
When I read deformable ground, I immediately thought of games like Spintires/Mudrunner. Can't imagine what kind of headache that must be to figure out.

Although I do try to keep my expectations low and rarely get 'hyped' about something, it is refreshing to read some of this stuff.
Huge levels is something that would be nice even if I'm not sure how much that would impact the performance (probably heavily).
But imagining career mode, it would probably get annoying quick to have a loading screen every 20 minutes.
Pedestrians sure sound amazing, yet again, imagining the performance impact... it'd be enough for me to have drivers/passengers in vehicles for now, hehe..

I don't know much about game development but I wish you guys all the luck.
Some suggestions may not be possible due to technical limitations so don't break yourselves on those.

The transparency is much appreciated!

 

What about the UI? Will it be more stable and faster in 0.25?

 

I secretly wish that this WIP map has some snow/icy stuff in it, since ice physics are a thing already.
But that's just my desires, it's ultimately up to you guys what the new map would be like.

 

That would be really cool and interesting to see. Like a little look into the development progress

 

Rather late into this but I've always been curious on how the team decides on a brand identity (color palette, fonts, general guidelines), do they do it like a normal company and a designer with various meetings to decide upon a general direction or is it different?

 

Hey @tdev when is the new update expected to come?
(sorry if im annoying)

 

When its ready

 

^ This, I really hope so.

 

I said "expected"

 

It is great to see you guys doing some Q&A

There are some things that I wanted to ask:
1. As you might know, we haven't got much news about any new map level in development since the end of 2018 (release of Italy), besides awesome re-masters of the old. Do you have any plans to bring more and new environments to the game?
2. Do you ever plan to have a blog post about the process of naming of the vehicles, deciding what kind of cars to make, concept arts or something similar?
3. Will we see more engine options in the upcoming new vehicles and/or re-masters? For e.g. V10, V12 and some others that are yet to be represented in the game.
4. Do you have plans to add RHD across more vehicles?
5. Finally, will the new supercar affect the changes to the driving model, such as aerodynamics?

Thanks for the answers! Keep doing the great work!

 

When it's ready

 

Read everything Tdev posted today on this thread, there are answers for all of your questions

Thank you very much, would be great to have some answers on this topic if possible, keep up the great work on this awesome game!

 

Im more interested in this 'deformable terrain' tdev mentioned, would this refer to things like knocking over signs and street lamps, driving my car clean through the windows of the car dealership, or deformable guardrails? any idea of what you guys consider the cutoff point for what you want to deform and what you want to remain rigid?
