Bought myself a new laptop, which means I can FINALLY play this game for a bit longer.
Well, I don't know how to play this game, so I just choose tyres and strategies at random in the hopes of it working somehow (which didn't, but oh well). Turns out, it's a bad idea. Until now, I still don't know how to properly play this game.
The game feels somewhat smoother than before (duh). Even then, performance issues still arise during races (particularly in Le Mans, for some reason) where lag spikes usually occur and sometimes races slow down and speed up periodically which kind of annoys me.
It's no longer possible for smaller teams to acquire good staff (so far) except for scouts, which is an improvement that I quite like. The date is now next to the CONTINUE button, which is also nice.
I still have a few other minor issues since the last version, including:
- I can only scout one driver at a time which is still annoying.
- Entering and exiting the start menu sometimes turns on the sound automatically.
- Entering and exiting the rider setup menu resets the race speed.
- Speaking of, I still think the available options for race speed (> and >>) is still a bit lacking, perhaps a >>> option would be a nice addition.
- Speaking of, I also feel like the game is progressing a bit too slowly (because I'm used to fast-paced games) because I can't just skip race weekends and such, but that's not as big of an issue as eberything else, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm still quite excited on the future of this project, especially after the changes made in the latest demo.
The game is functional, so that's a great start. So far, things have been working as they should be, though with a bit of issues in the performance of the game (my laptop is so fucking shit it killed itself mid-game several times lol.) The circuit design, while blocky and somewhat weird-looking imo, works fine. No issues on that one.
Still, I have a few minor complaints for this game, such as:
- The amount of nationalities in this game is severely limited (I think, or maybe there are more countries that I can't access somehow).
- I can buy the best staff in a terrible MGP3 team (which is fun but kind of unrealistic, I think.)
- I can only scout one driver at a time which is kinda annoying.
- The sort driver by age in the rider market resets when I enter and exit a rider's profile (a bit inconvenient, to be honest.)
- The sort (and filtering) feature in itself is severely lacking.
- Took me a little too long to notice the date and time at the bottom right screen. Perhaps moving it next to the CONTINUE button might help.
- Loading the game in the rider setup menu and letting a driver out causes a fatal crash and renders the save file unplayable.
- Loading the game nearly broke my laptop somehow.
- You can't move around in the circuit. You can only zoom (and sometimes zooming moves the centre of the camera a little bit). Or maybe I just don't know the controls. EDIT: turns out, I am an idiot :)
- A comprehensive tutorial on how everything works in this game might be helpful.
These are the issues I have while playing the game so far (because my laptop keeps dying and I can't continue past the test race let alone testing the entire game). Literally.
I'm excited on the future of this project, but for now, I can't really say that this game is close to being ready (it's a demo, after all).
