Wreckfest: Dezember-Update, neuer Partner und gute Neuigkeiten von Bugbear

Bugbear stellt eine neue Steam Early Access-Version von Wreckfest bereit. W�hrend viele Verbesserungen den Spielspa�funken neu entfachen sollen, gibt es noch weitere Neuigkeiten.

Wreckfest: Dezember-Update, neuer Partner und gute Neuigkeiten von Bugbear ZoomF�r die Ank�ndigung und den Start des neuen Projekts Stuntfest w�hrend die Entwicklung von Wreckfest aus Sicht der Gamer alles andere als abgeschlossen ist, hat Bugbear Entertainment jede Menge Kritik einstecken m�ssen. Das finnische Studio legt kurz vor dem Jahreswechsel nicht nur eine neue Version seines Action-Rennspiels vor die mit vielen Problemen aufr�umen soll und zahlreiche Verbesserungen in den Bereichen AI, Gamecontroller, Fahrhilfen und Physik enth�lt. Dazu gibt es mit dem "Rammer" eine "Banger-Version" eines klassischen amerikanischen Wagens der als Besonderheit ein alternatives Handlingmodell besitzt und eine �berarbeitete Kies-und-Schotter-Strecke.

Die vielleicht beste Neuigkeit ist aber nicht das neue Build, sondern die Nachricht, dass man bei Bugbear eingesehen hat zun�chst Wreckfest fertigzustellen, bevor man sich auf andere Ideen einl�sst. Dies unterstreicht die Information, dass ein namentlich nicht genannter Partner gefunden wurde der es dem Team erm�glicht sich voll auf Wreckfest konzentrieren zu k�nnen. Au�erdem wird man die eigene Entwickleranzahl vergr��ern. Ab Februar 2017 soll es regelm��ig Updates im Monatsrhythmus geben.

"Wir n�hern uns der letzten Etappe der Entwicklung und ben�tigen eure Unterst�tzung, indem ihr Wreckfest spielt und uns durch euer Feedback bei der Ausrichtung unterst�tzt. Neue Features und Spielinhalte werden in den kommenden Monaten folgen", erkl�ren die Entwickler die einen Fragebogen aufgesetzt haben und sich �ber R�ckmeldungen, auch im eigenen Forum, freuen. "Wreckfest ist immer und wird weiterhin die erste Priorit�t bei unseren Projekten haben. Wir f�hlen uns zu 100 Prozent verpflichtet ein Spiel zu entwickeln das uns alle - euch, unsere treuen Unterst�tzer, und uns, seine Entwickler - stolz macht."

Wreckfest: Update 22.12.2016-Changelog:
CONTENT
-Replaced Gravel track with a new, improved version with cleaner geometry, more rolling terrain and generally just a lot better gameplay. While not yet polished, the reworked track also gives you a first look at our new environment set called Fields that will also be used for some other tracks. It represents a US Mid-Western environment will rollling hills, fields and some urban structures. All in all, we think it will be a perfect match for bringing our kind of high-action racing stateside!
-Replaced the main route of Tarmac 3 with a shorter, rallycross inspired route.
-Added a new American 2 banger variant.

ART
-Improved art Speedway 2.
-Improved art on Sandpit 2.
-Improved art on Mixed 1.
-Added more trackside objects to many tracks.
-Implemented animated spectators among static ones.
-Added spectators to many tracks previously missing them.
-Implemented more vibrant post-processing.

DESIGN/PHYSICS
-Improved gamepad controller: the steering rate now fluctuates significantly less in different driving situations, and it's now easier to countersteer even when Speed Sensitivity is applied (by default, 75% for both gamepad and keyboard). We recommend that you start by resetting your in-game advanced controller settings and tweak from there.
-Tweaked keyboard controller for more responsiveness. Likewise, it's recommended that advanced controller settings are reset.
-Stability Control assist now correctly detects vehicle slide angle, making cars less vulnerable to over-correcting when counter-steering, a sympton that often resulted in the car spinning in the opposite direction or rocketing out of track. Note that as a result you may need to adjust your Stability Control strength, so please play around with the setting.
-Improved Traction Control assist for reduced bog-down effect.
-Far Chase Camera is now higher and further away.
-Light dynamic objects like traffic cones no longer cause damage to the car.
-It's now easier to shatter small wooden structures, making it easier to get back into action after spinning out and stalling behind them.
-Steering wheel no longer gets dislocated when the car has deformed (it too can deform, however).
-Improved surface dynamics, so rollovers are now more violent with less sliding around when the car is on its roof or side.
-The car no longer bottoms out as easily on heavy landings, something that earlier on resulted in the car being bounced into air due to collision penetration.
-The car no longer drifts around in garage and elsewhere (may still occur on angled surfaces).
-Arm-cos and other heavy trackside barriers are now less prone spin the car around in light contacts.
-High-speed crashes involving cars with a significant speed difference are now more violent.
-Tweaked gameplay damage to encourage more tactical gameplay: health damage from being hit is lower with 100% armor sector and higher with 0% armor sector, so you need to eyeball the opponent in order to hit them where it hurts (and of course try to protect the damaged sections of your own car).
-AI is now less likely to cause harm to the player in light contacts.
-AI is more aggressively trying to overtake.
-AI no longer keeps pushing on after bumping into another car but depending on the situation eases throttle and/or applies brakes.
-AI now reacts in a couple of different ways when bumped into, depending on the strength of the impact.
-AI now yields a more appropriate challenge dynamically for various levels of players.
-Player can now choose AI class from pre-made sets.

TECHNICAL
-Server no longer crashes when a race event comes up after a derby.
-Optimized foliage and clutter shaders, improving performance.
-Optimized culling, improving performance.
-Fixed horizon draw order.
-Additional notes for content creators:
-Some very old textures were removed or moved around, so in case you've used any of our textures in your creations please check them for missing textures (purple assets).
-The game no longer crashes when no bend is detected for AI logic, an issue with certain custom oval tracks that had very long sweeping bends.
-You can now create a custom AI set for your modded vehicles and/or a cup mod that the user can pick (located in property/career/ai_sets).
-All camera modifications will need to be updated, otherwise your users won't have the new Chase Camera Far.
