ooh maby phisic based obsicles like boxes

There are really to things this game needs. 

dedicated pipe blocks,-small-big.   and slippery blocks, where you can try not to spin out, or manage slowing down for a corner.

and i'm talking like, smaller pipes you can drive in. i mean, curved pipes would make the game like, 15x better.

small pipes could be very handy actually

I know I’ve already asked for a way of sharing tracks in game and that you’ve said that the servers won’t good enough but there are probably ways to work around this.

1. Only saving the top 10 replays as they probably take up lots of space, and for the rest on the leaderboard, only times. This number may be increased if it get elite or something similar

2. If your track is published and less than 10 people have played it within 1 month, it gets deleted.

3. Getting some form of sponsor to help keep the servers up and running, I’m not telling you to add adds as this will completely ruin the game, instead something like wipeout 2079 (ps1) has with redbull

number 2 will make some people very angry

I get what you mean. 
the main point of this is so that people can’t spam tracks and crash the servers

(1 edit)

maybe instead, all tracks will go into a waitlist if they are above 3000 characters long to be manually verified to not be duplicates of existing tracks and not spam tracks, and then only the tracks that get through will be posted to the servers. 

Not sure about this


or maybe, a cooldown between posting tracks so that you can’t spam, like 30 mins or something (but you can post campaigns in 1 go)


Also, for your suggestion 1, replays don’t take up that much space, and only saving the top 10 on a really played track (like my TMNF campaign) would be very unfair to someone who got a cool trick or a shortcut that didn’t exactly work out, but they would like to share it. 

I was thinking to suggest a timer but you can’t post campaigns and you can also have multiple accounts and post a very large map from each account 

Why can’t you post campaigns in your version?

Bosses*

Original idea by birdpiper was to make a boss with 150hp that loses 25hp every time a player goes ahead of it, dying after 6 people beat it 150/25=6

I’ve came up with a couple of expanded ideas that could be added, the first one is a chaser boss, and there could be one for 1 second, 2 seconds, and 3 seconds. What I mean is that if you want to beat the 3 second boss, you click his record and he starts 3 seconds behind. Same for 1 and 2. My main idea was for somebody to use TAS to get the boss to the theoretical limit, making the early start necessary! Obviously this could be customisable, and the local cabbage guy on summer one shows that young fellas summer 1 record can be beaten by nearly 0.5 seconds, and not much more. To fit this example, given that young fella completed summer 1 in 22.262 seconds, bronze boss (the easy one) would start 1 second the player, and finish at 22.762, (maybe the theoretical limit. I’m not sure. The silver boss would start 0.5 seconds behind and finish at 22.262, tied with young fella, and the gold boss would need even more attempts. 

Could be good, idk!

yes

Can you please add LAN option? looks like getting an invite code requires an internet connection. But I wanna play this game with my friends and siblings offline.

Sorry, this is a browser limitation so it's not possible!

It could be possible to implement in the future only for the desktop versions, but it's low priority because the vast majority of players play in the browser.

hello kodub u should add neo slides if you can but lemme know if I'm being stupid😄

Hey, it would be amazing to have the HTML version of this game available for download in order to use it offline in a browser. I found some unofficial HTML versions, but they're outdated.

Thank you

using inspect, or f12, you can search for different elements by pressing a button in one of the corners (I can’t remember which one, im pretty sure it looks something like a courser and a dashed square) and selecting the game itself, right clicking, and selecting edit as html, it will open up the entire code of the game. Copy it and voila. There’s many tutorials on YouTube on how to do this that have more detail, I’d recommend watching one of those. 

Gee thanks, I'll look those up. Is your YouTube same as your itch username?

I don’t have a yt account, sorry

Developer

The HTML version won't work correctly without hosting a local web server.

I also worry providing this would make it easier for the game to get stolen

Well, it could act like an offline version without the leaderboards or personal accounts. And since you already provide the game for free, you could just put extra credits to yourself in order to preserve copy write.

I have more of  a question than a request or a bug fix,  But how can gameplay become more fun for lower skilled players?  I think its something that should be kept in mind as almost only the pro players ever post or comment on things.  So i feel there should be a way to have like, i track setting to level the playing field.

Developer

The game can be quite punishing for lower skilled players.
I'm not sure how this can be improved, but there are no plans to make it harder at least!

I think you're definitely right that the people that comment are skewed towards higher skilled players, so it's important to keep that bias in mind

I was thinking that we should add a notifier so if your record gets beat, you can see it without going onto the track to see if you have been beat. This will save a lot of time for people like me who have lots of tracks imported and it takes forever to check every track. 

Developer

I wonder how this will work with tracks that have a lot of activity?

You can just add so that you can turn on and off notifications.

I think we need a plastic bounce  and different tracks items such as water, dirt, and more, so it is different 


And also for the new player , im in secondary schoool i play poly track and i show to my friend poly track they play it i look at how they play it and i have to tell them how to drive drift etc the problem is that it is a pain . WE NEEEDD TUTORIAL ABT POLY TRACK  HOW TO DRIVE AND WHATNOTT ITS A PAIN WATCHING MY FRIENDS PLLLLSSS KODUB

Developer

There are currently no plans for adding different physics for different surfaces, but I'd like to add water!

The 0.6.3 update that just released has a new tutorial!

add back alpine descent

Apline decent was never a ct, just shut up

Hi Kodub, I had an idea that it would be really fun if you added a A08 style track info official campaign. So uhh yeah, thats my suggestion.

Oh and another thing that is probably a very far stretch, but would it be possible to eventually add an in game user made track search? It'd be really nice to have something in game instead of having to look for track codes outside.

edit: I was just thinking, it'd be very nice if you could see your ranking on different tracks without having to click into them. I've been grinding out trying to get at least into the top 1% on as many tracks as I can and it'd be nice to see which ones I need to work on still a bit faster.

a comment section in the tracks (moderated obv)

Bug report, game is laggy in the menu but not in game

My game suddenly started being very laggy on the main menu when I opened it today. It used to run completely smoothly but I guess something must have broken, weirdly enough it runs perfectly fine with no issues while on a track. Using firefox on win 11, latest versions for both (as of time of writing).

Customizability for cars

I think it'd be pretty cool if you guys added it so that there are different types of body types for the cars not just the F1 type of course keep it low poly but what about different body types like sports cars or even trucks I think it would help everybody stand out between each other mainly because a lot of the cars that I see most of the time use the similar color palettes or similar designs it would also be nice to have more rim options and customizable spoilers just to make everybody feel more like themselves rather than everybody just having slightly different cars okiii byeeeee :3

can we make a rocket league Mod for Poly track
