Screw Drivers News

Hi everybody,

It has been only a few days since we announced that we would move to Early Access on Steam as Screw Drivers, and you have already managed to break the main menu by uploading so many amazing creations to the Steam Workshop! This is so awesome, and we can't stop trying all of the new cars, low riders, Formula One cars, and so many crazy vehicles I cannot describe in words.

However, this forced us to fix some issues in the main menu. The sheer number of workshop vehicles caused the game to freeze for 6 seconds when starting.

So, here is the very short changelog of v0.2.14.10:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed, that the game freezes for a couple of seconds when entering the main menu.
  
• Fixed car calculation algorithm, which was faulty when placing the corner gears in some specific constellations.
  

Keep on being amazed while we work full throttle on the new version, which will be available in early access soon!

Please keep the feedback coming!

Drive Safe,

Hey, fellow car crashers… er, race drivers!

It’s been just over a week since we released the Project Vroom Vroom prototype, and we really loved seeing all the creativity you have already displayed! This is a dream project for us, and we are very keen on getting and listening to your invaluable feedback.

Thanks a million for engaging in our game!

Since its release, we have been working hard on updates and fixes for Vroom Vroom. Below, you can find quite a long list of all the stuff we’ve already put in the game.

Please feel free to continue suggesting both changes and additions, as well as bug reporting!

[h3]Full changelog:[/h3] Weekly challenge

• Added the first weekly challenge to the game. You can start it from the main menu.

King challenges

• New Speed King challenge: The looooop (and yes, it contains a loop)

New Building Colors

• We have hidden eight new part colors somewhere on the map. They look like little books. Find them in the free drive to unlock some new colors for building your vehicles!

Minor changes

• The “Dirt Wheel Medium” now only weighs 30kg instead of 60kg.
  
• The current time between checkpoints of the speed king is now displayed with a drop shadow, so it should be better readable even in front of bright, blue sky.
  
• Added a Discord invitation button to the main menu.
  
• You can now enable camera orbiting mode in general settings. This allows you to freely rotate the camera around your vehicle.
  
• The red stones inside the half-pipe now have colliders.
  
• In creative mode, all king challenges can be played now. No matter what level you have.
  
• Instead of showing that unlocking creative mode takes 15 minutes, it now displays 30 minutes as average time to unlock the game mode.
  
• The wings are now colorable. Only the carbon wing is not colorable, since, well, it is made out of carbon, and it is absolutely unthinkable to put paint onto something so beautiful.
  
• You can now switch between automatic gear shifting and manual gear shifting in general settings. If you want to shift gears manually, you have to use the (,) and (.) keys.
  
• In the last five seconds of a king challenge, a slight ticking sound starts, which notifies the player that he doesn't have much time left.
  
• The dirt tires now flip automatically to make their running direction face forward.

Bug fixes

• Fixed “Unity editor” being displayed in the top left corner during king challenges. Now, the own Steam name is displayed.
  
• Fixed missing translation in the parts shop. The Undo-button is now correctly called “Undo” instead of “Rückgängig”.
  
• Fixed where, sometimes, the debris of destroyed objects was floating. Now, they should come to rest while lying on the ground.
  
• Fixed floating stones in front of the speed castle bridge.
  
• The Stepper motor tutorial was never ending, and caused the game to be restarted. Now everything works as intended, the tutorial actually ends.
  
• The orbit camera mode now also uses the sensitivity set in the general settings.
  
• Fixed UI having overlapping elements in some screen resolutions.
  
• It was possible to get an immense amount of points in the Stunt Queen, by just driving outside of the map.
  
• When using the stepper motor to power wheels, the car no longer has immense power.
  
• Fixed the terrain collider behind the crash king castle.
  
• The kings and queens don't do any reactions anymore after the challenge has ended.
  Stepper motors had some weird behavior, if W, A, S or D was assigned as the actuation key. Now, you cannot assign these four keys anymore since they are used for the driving logic, and thus, these won't interfere anymore with each other.

We will contiune to improve the game so keep the feedback coming!

You can either join our community discord and talk directly to us or you can submit your feedback through our Feedback Form.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season and thanks again for playing!
