A few handy things would be a zeroeth order checkpoint that needs to be crossed but in no particular order, and if crossed checkpoints changed color, dulled, or otherwise displaying that they've been crossed.

Developer

Unordered checkpoints aren't planned for now.

Changing the checkpoint color after passing it sounds like a good idea though!

Also good idea to show witch checkpoint is next so u know where to go

I've seen on previous posts that you don't want to make your game a track mania copy, but I think potentially adding difference between surfaces could add a lot more to the game. For example, the dirt could slide more. Also the addition of slanted curve pieces, like a 45 degree bank would be nice. I hope you still plan on updating the game. 

Developer

Different surfaces aren't planned since the physics wouldn't really work well.

Banked track pieces will most likely come next update!

I have no plans to stop working on this game as long as it remains popular and people keep playing it.

kodub u should pin totw

(derzi and taco both know about it and co-run it with me) 

The new bug is not drifting

There could be a way to make teams or Clubs. In those Clubs you share the Code and people can join. 
Like this there could be a tab at every track where you can see the times of other people in the club. So u can race against friends without having to make own maps. There also could be a limit to how many people can join (10 or sth like that). Also could there be a feature where everybody in the club can select 5 (just an example number) maps and now they will be displayed under the standard tracks. Now there is for every member a track which fits there skill. 

Developer

Would be cool! But a friend feature would probably be added first

Im trying to import my profile from one device to another but I keep getting the message that it failed to download the user profile from the sever. Any ideas why that might be happening and what i could do to troubleshoot?

Developer

It's not possible to import your profile if the leaderboard server is down.

It's also not possible to import profiles from illegal versions of the game since those versions can't upload the profile to the server

I think the leaderboards were just down at the time. Just tried again and it worked! Thanks for the reply.

Your car can keep grip on the track, even when sideways... You could possibly patch it out and make it work for only a specific range of blocks as a feature though

The track below demonstrates this with the different blocks in the game

I also can't view leaderboards for some reason or import my profile; for the leaderboard, it says Error: Failed to load leaderboard and for the profile it says Failed to download user profile from the server

I have the same problem, Leaderboards are down at the moment of typing atleast

I've noticed the leaderboard issue specifically on sites like pizza edition. It hasn't been a problem for me though on the official site or app.

Developer

It's not possible to import your profile if the leaderboard server is down.

It's also not possible to import profiles from illegal versions of the game since those versions can't upload the profile to the server

Developer

This is intended! This is how it works in real life too as long as you're driving fast enough

Hi Kodub! I currently am hosting polytrack Jacky and I have a script to grab the leaderboards for 10 maps using the web requests. Am I allowed to do this, and if I am, what is the limit on how often I can do it?

Developer

This shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't do multiple requests per minute.

Also depends on if this is something running continually or just every once in a while

Planning on doing it ~ once per hour so it should be fine 

At the moment, if you go into spectator mode when racing and look around, it seems to glitch and bug out... I'm not too sure if it's just my computer, although it didn't used to happen before...

Developer

Hm... I think I would need some more information to be able to fix this

Please Note in my Last post in Suggestions:

  1. Adda  Stunt Mode
  2. Add a More Track Parts
  3. Add a Car painting with a Images
  4. Add a Checkpoint, Start, Finish and Multilap Sloped/Banked
  5. Add a Boosters and Effects
  6. Add a Usual Games

When exiting tracks it should go to the page with all the tracks, same with exiting from track pages with the list of times. Also, a quick play button would be nice.

Developer

This will be changed next update!

I'm not sure about the quick play button though

Editor copy paste. Like using a special block to mark 3 corners of a cube and press copy and then paste as one big block somewhere on the map. It would be REALLY helpful when building big containers but only having to build one side before copy paste. Also it would be much easier building like lakes or oceans when you need to switch the rotation all the time. 

Thanks :)

Developer

Copy pasting will definitely come at some point!

Not next update though

Also does anyone know roughly when 0.5 will come out?

based on the patterns, end of winter/spring?

northern hemisphere or southern?

Developer

Probably sometime around april!

BUG! Hi....I create a very big track...but when i go to play the car dont move...why?
