Here you can post suggestions for the game.

This can include new features, bugs I should fix and new track parts!

(+1)

add a discord link ingame

Developer(+1)

For now you could make a thread with the link. Maybe one for the speedrun page as well?

Hi, i am facing a problem and i dont know how to fix it. Im playing from https://www.kodub.com/apps/polytrack and i cant go into spectator mode and i don't know why, is there any fix?

(+1)

not sure if its a bug but on track 6 after you make the first jump onto the big platform when going off it drifting to the right and holding the d key you end up facing left sometimes

Developer(+1)

I think that might just be how the physics work out.

For a moment when you leave the platform only the back wheels will be touching the platform. Since you're in the middle of a turn and the back wheels can't turn like the front wheels, you'll be forced to the left. That's my guess at least.

yeah, that's called off loading. in stadium super trucks they have to be careful about going over a ramp straight, otherwise this happens. not a bug, just physics

(+1)

Can you make this game mobile friendly please with Burton for accelerate and brake left and Burton to go left and right right

Developer(+1)

I'll give it a try!

But I'm not sure how well the game will run on mobile.

ok thanks,

If you want you can also add checkpoint.

Developer

Checkpoints are coming in the next update!

(1 edit) (+1)

Can you pls add an in game Leaderboard for the Tracks???

Developer(+2)

Yes! I'm working on it for the next update.

But it's a quite complex feature so it might take a while.

(+1)

I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

:D

(+1)

Also can you please add more block to the editor

ideas
  • ice blocks
  • checkpoints
  • boosters
Developer(+3)

Checkpoints are coming next update!

Boosters are definitely something I want to add, but other things have higher priority right now.

Ice blocks might come in a future winter themed update perhaps!

(+3)

Kodub u are a legend to me. This is literally my dream come true to play a game like Trackmania. :)

(+2)

Checkpoints would be very good so we can  make huge maps that are playable.

yeh bro my game wont even get the map lol

(+1)

it would be awesome if there were different cameras. one where we could just move around the track and scope out what to do next and maybe anothr one where we can see our pb/ghost (like from behind and tracking). that would also make recording videos of speedruns a lot better.

Developer(+1)

I've been thinking of making this so you could preview other people's runs from the upcoming leaderboard as well.

So I might add this in the next update if I have time.

that'd be awesome, thanks

Thank you Kodub for this nice little game! I wanted to create a game of this kind about 15 years ago. But you did it better than I could even imagine!

Please add:

  • Different time of the day: evening, night;
  • Headlights on the car so you can drive nicely at the night;
  • Best tracks from players to game default levels pack;
  • Multiplayer if possible;
  • Riding together with bots;
  • In-game music;
  • Points;
  • Drifting and additional points for drifting;
  • Levels and car colors cloud save with passphrase (like it's done on DuckDuckGo).
Developer(+1)

I'm glad you like the game!

  • Evening is doable, but I worry playing at night would be a bit dark with just the car headlights. Since I wouldn't be able to have additional light sources without a new lighting system. But maybe I'll give the option anyways. We'll see!
  • Will definitely need some headlights if I implement night maps!
  • In the future, I want people to be able to share tracks directly in the game. I might also have a curated list of tracks in the game till then, but nothing has been decided yet.
  • Multiplayer might be possible, but it would require a lot of time which I need to implement the leaderboard and the track sharing feature in the future. So not anytime soon, sorry!
  • It should be possible to race against ghosts from other players from the leaderboard in the next version. As for AI drivers, that's not possible since the tracks are too complicated.
  • I've been thinking about adding in-game music as well, but I worry it would become annoying in the long run. Would like to look into this a bit more though!
  • I might have some kind of scoring system in the future, but it's not something I've thought about much.
  • I might add a stunt mode in the future, but not anytime soon.
  • Using a passphrase to recover user profiles is a really good idea! I'll look into adding this in the next version, but probably not for tracks since they require too much data.

there should be a way to have laps in tracks

Developer(+1)

There should!

(+1)

very fun and simple game!  I can see a lot of potential in this game you should add more kinds of cars you can use.  one problem I had tho the cars fall down very easy. thx for reading! :D

Developer(+1)

I changed the collision model of the car a bit so you don't get this weird bounce and roll as much when you hit a barrier.

So it should be a bit better next update. If it's still a problem I guess I could make the barriers a bit higher too.

Don't worry about the collision bugs and all, they are part of the game, it adds up to its charm it also makes possible incredible stunts and even more creative maps

Hey, love the game. One thing I would find awesome is a platform in the shape of a triangle, since i like to make big maps with huge turns, like half a tile cut diagonal, so that i dont have to place corners all the time

Hope this makes sense

Developer

It makes sense! I'll add it to my todo.

Keyboard shorcuts

Add keyboard shorcuts for the editor: Going up and down, delete without having to go all the way up to the delete tool and then all the way down

These are things that would make creating maps much easier


Sorry for posting this if there is already shortcuts that I didn't find

Developer

For going up and down you can hold shift and use the mouse wheel.

But I might add some more shortcuts and maybe some instructions for the editor somewhere.

(+1)

You should make it so you can press space to drift.

Developer(+1)

I can experiment a bit, but I'm not sure how the car physics would behave.

A drift function sure will be top-notch, you can do like with trackmania with requirements to activate drift, not a key to press. Thanks for the game, I can finally play a good racing game on my potato computer!

I would actually love it if there was like an in-game tournament against others every once in a while like Cup Of The Day but i understand its very hard to code it. :)

Developer

It would be quite difficult, so probably wouldn't implement this for a very long time.

Would be cool though!

Can you add a cockpit view? It would really help. I love this game!!

Developer

Sure!

add a sign with text in the editor for custom tracks

Developer

Would be cool! But also a bit complicated so maybe in the future.

when you go above 300 kph while on a wall turn block your car goes into the ground and slides out every time this also happens when you are holding w above 270

Developer

Yes, the grip is a bit strange when riding on walls.

Not sure if it's fixable.

This actually doesnt happen for me.

I think its ok if u tap keys instead of holding them

Hey Kodub 

just wondering if it would be possible for you to add like an airbrake since its hard to make long jumps since u land upside-down

Developer

Maybe!

How do you imagine the airbrake would work exactly?

(+1)

The way it  works is that when ur mid air u can tap brake to stop the cars rotation

Itd get a great addition for landing long jumps :)

can you add wasd movment to the editor please? im on my laptop and dont have a mouse

(2 edits) (+1)

oh another thing you could add is a booster piece that goes on top of tracks. it could increse your speed to somewhere around 375 km/h

if the physics get all janky because of it i understand not adding it.

Developer(+1)

Definitely something I want to add in the future!

I believe the physics should be able to handle it without any issues.

Developer(+1)

Sure!

1. I think this might cause some problems. Or maybe I misunderstood what you meant?

2. Sorry! It's already been toned down a bit in the next update. It was never intentional and is just a side effect of the wheels hitting the barrier before the chassis of the car.

3. More customization in general would be really cool! Such as different spoilers and wheels. The next update miiiiiiiight have some more color patterns to choose from but most likely not since I already have a lot of stuff to do for this update. Very likely in the next update after that though!

(-1)

If you change the physics, you may want to reset the times on the official track

Developer

Yes, all records will be reset.

(+1)

Plz don't change it too much
