Three major updates are on their way which includes a variety of new features and improvements to familiar mechanics. These updates are scheduled to be available in the coming months with version 1.12 releasing in Q2 of this year and 1.11 releasing as early as THIS COMING WEEK.

Although we don’t have a lot to share in regards to version 1.13 at this time, we are happy to announce that the theme of this update is “Greener Pastures”. We’ll let you deliberate on what this may look like but in the meantime, from the rolling hills of the homestead to the picturesque mountain tops of the Swiss Alps, there is a lot to be excited about in the coming months of Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition.

Update Version 1.9

Hi Everyone

A few months back we released a statement in our community stating we would be sharing news about the future of Rival Stars Horse Racing Desktop Edition.

Well, as promised we are back with an exciting update for you!

Starting RIGHT NOW you will be able to find the following features in the Desktop Edition.

[h2]Ranch Logo Customization[/h2]
Create your own custom ranch logo and name. Choose from a variety of wood engravings and colors. Choose the name of your ranch or let the random generator choose a unique name for you.



[h2]Horse Management option and choosing your favorite horse![/h2]
Stable management allows you to rearrange your horse stalls to your heart's desire. Players will also be able to view, compare, and see the base/current stats of their horses! Favoriting a horse will make the selected horse the main horse on your home hub!



[h2]Hidden Genes.[/h2]
Hidden Genes give you insight into exactly what genes you could potentially pass down to your foal. From the Coat information tab, you will be able to view the base color, dilution, and coat pattern of your horse, as well as characteristics such as head markings and eye color. As well as being able to view your horse’s visible genes, you are now able to enlist Sophie's help to conduct research into the hidden genes your horse is carrying. These genes are not visible to the human eye but can potentially be passed down to any foals in your horses’ pedigree.



[h2]Screen Saver Mode[/h2]
Watch and interact with your favorite horse without the UI clutter.



[h2]13 new horse coats[/h2]
Variations of New Roan, Overo, Pinto, and Appaloosa coats.

We are committed to keeping Rival Stars Horse Racing Desktop Edition updated with the most desirable features, and we appreciate everyone's patience as we work towards this goal.
