Here are some ideas that I think would be great to add into the game:
Hi Kodub, I really love your game polytrack. As I see the game, this is a way to have something similar to trackmania on any device (including my laggy & terrible computer) and enjoy racing online without needing the computer that is strong enough to handle trackmania. I have some suggestions - major and minor ones that I think will go very far in improving your game. (Sorry if I'm being a bit blunt in advance!)
1. I think that you should make the track parts a bit wider. By track parts, I mean the parts with a red and white curb and black border. I've been experimenting, and I think that the track parts (straight track parts) should be around 1 - 1.5 quarters of a full tile bigger (as in 4x4 tile that looks like its made out of cubes when you place parts in the editor). You might say - well, Coco, you can just set the grid to extra dense in the editor and then put half track pieces overlapping, but the thing is, its hard to do turns, and the overlap causes lots of lag...
2. I think the freedom with the "tech" style of mapping is a bit lacking in your current game. Part of the joy of tech is the angles of the pieces for flow and variety (and ease of drifting). I would suggest adding a 25 - 30 degree angle slant for each piece, not only the straight ones (which polytrack already has), but curves and turns and bends and stuff too. This would allow drifting and mapping variety to be better.
3. I think if you could add some scenery items, just a simple tree, or if you want bigger, a huge metal curve (just ideas) to make scenery easier to create, it would go a long way with the community, who loves their scenery.
4. Maybe add banked curves? I've been trying to make these in the editor, and the only banked turn I found was a 90 degree high curve that turned 90 degrees. Specialized pieces that allow you to make banked curves would be great.
5. Maybe add different turning angles? The current turn pieces only allow 90 degree turns. Having something like a 45 degree turn would be amazing.
6. I think this could really be great: add an evening or cloudy mood to the game. For the evening, It would be cool if we could choose our own light sources.
These are my top 6 recommendations for your game. I think at least some of these should not be too hard to implement. It would be amazing if you could do these. Again, thank you very much for reading this.

Here is my new tech map named the Wave, enjoy:

Kodub can you make the track parts a little wider for smoother drifting? Also can you make more dynamic track angles? Like a roll pitch yaw advanced selector for each track piece? This would make it better for tech mapping. Thx.
