Rival Stars Horse Racing News

We are proud to announce the latest game mode in Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition — Cross Country!

That’s right! You've been training your Jump and Agility stats for a few months now and it's finally time to put them to use!

[h2]Let's get into it![/h2]

What is Cross Country?

You've already had a small taste of Cross Country with the addition of jumps in the free roam area, but now it's time for a true challenge. Cross Country is the ultimate test for your horse’s speed, endurance, and jumping skills. Scoring is kept true to real life, which means to land the medal you are after, you have to navigate your way through the tracks, execute those perfect jumps, and complete the track as close to the set time as possible!

Nail all these elements and you’ll be well on your way to being a Cross Country champion.



Accessing Cross Country can be done in the Race and Ride menu once you have reached Prestige 4. From there, you need to select your course and the horse you wish to compete with.
By completing each event within a certain time frame, you will begin to unlock new tracks. Every track has eligibility criteria that are dictated by the horse's level, meaning the higher you train your horse the more tracks it can compete on.



[h2]Pro difficulty[/h2]

Pro is a second difficulty level for those who really want to challenge their Cross Country abilities.

You can access Pro difficulty by changing the difficulty toggle on the Cross Country course select screen, but it will only become available once you have unlocked and completed all the tracks on Normal difficulty.



[h2]What’s coming up?[/h2]

We are continuing to expand and develop Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition and today we are excited to share a sneak peek at some of the updates we have coming soon.



These updates are scheduled to be available very soon, with version 1.14.1 arriving in a few week’s time and 1.15 releasing in late October/early November.


In the meantime, we'll let you discuss what these new updates might include.


Don’t forget to check out the community to keep up to date with the recent news, and competitions. Until next time, happy Racing/Riding everyone.

Hello, and welcome to the Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition, Greener Pastures Update!



The Pasture is a brand new beautiful plot of land you have recently acquired allowing you to transport and store your horses. You can move your horses from your stables and into the Pasture for retirement reasons, or maybe you just need to free up space in your stalls.



The Pasture is not just a storage box for your horses! Starting from Prestige 6, you can move your horses to and from the pasture! This can be done by clicking on the Pasture button in your stables, here you have the opportunity to view your horses interacting with each other and enjoying their time rolling in the grass, but that's not all, the Pasture allows you to have full camera control to get the best angles on your horses.

It is important to remember that If your horse is placed in the pasture you will not be able to race, train or breed with it until you return the horse to your stables, However, you are still able to take your horse out on a Free Roam adventure!



Moving your horses to and from the Pasture is simple! Start by selecting the horse you wish to move from your stable and click the “manage horse button” on the top right of your screen (this appears as a horse/gear icon) From here you will see the option to “Move To Pasture” button, clicking this will successfully move your selected horse to the Pasture.

Bringing a horse back from the Pasture is much the same. First head to the Pasture from the stables, Select the horse you wish to return, select “Manage Horse” and confirm the transfer back to the stable by selecting “Move To Stables”





No longer do you need to consider how many stalls you have available when breeding or purchasing a new horse because your Pasture space is able to hold up to a massive 60 horses at one time.





We have some exciting features making their way to the Desktop Edition later in quarter 3 that we can’t wait to share with you. Shortly we will release a Roadmap covering the remainder of the updates for 2022.

We are constantly working to improve and expand the world of Rival Stars Horse Racing, so please keep leaving your feedback so we can continue to build on and help make Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition the best Horse Racing Game, not just on Steam but in the world!


Change List

• Players can send horses to pastures starting at prestige level 6
  
• All 60 pasture slots are unlocked by default!
  
• New horse manage popup allows users to easily transfer, sell and rename horses from the same screen

Hello from the Rival Stars Horse Racing Desktop Edition team!

Welcome to the 1.12.1 Update notes. In this round of notes, we will be covering, Stat Training, Photo mode, and the highly requested feature….

[h2]Max Betting[/h2]

We have seen a high number of requests to add a Max betting button to the game, and we are excited to announce that it has finally made its way to the Desktop edition. No longer will you have to scroll to reach the maximum betting amount, now you have the option to set the maximum bet amount at the click of a button. Like always, this can be found on the Betting Party screen, Quick Ride mode, and Story Mode.



[h2]Training Stats[/h2]

Now that Jump has made its way to Desktop Edition, we can get into the nitty-gritty of enhancing your riding experience.

Making those tight turns in free roam is inevitable but the Agility stat is here to help. Training the Agility stat will allow your horse to make those tighter turns without having to compromise speed.

The Jump stat is the key to regaining your sprint energy. Nailing a Jump successfully instantly regains a portion of your horse's Sprint Energy. The higher you train the stat the more sprint energy you will recover, preparing your horse for the next jump.

To train the Agility and Jump stat you will need Agility/Jump Feed, this can be purchased in the Marketplace or gained from successfully completing story races



[h2]Photo mode[/h2]

Since the launch of the title, we have loved seeing the creative and amazing screenshots of your horses enjoying their time in the Free Roam environments, and in this update, we have made this easier for you!

Introducing the Free Roam Camera! A single button click will hide any on-screen text and allow you to capture those incredibly special moments between the rider and horse.

Once Photo mode is active all you need to do is take a screen capture and you are set! The Free Roam Camera is available in both Free Roam locations, we can’t wait to see the stunning photos you take!



[h2]Looking to the future[/h2]

Our next update is called “Green Pastures” and while we can’t give away too much at this stage we hope the name provides a hint at what's to come.

We want to thank you for the support as we continue to develop and support Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition, and hope you’re excited to try out the new features! Have fun and we’ll see you next time!

~The Rival Stars Team.
