Make Way News

[p]Hey folks![/p][p][/p][p]It was great to see so many of you jump in and design cars for Make Way, as part of the competition we announced during August, where selected winners will see their designs added to the game in a future update.

Following the 1.3 Patch last month, some of you made us aware of a few issues which we've taken time to investigate.

We've now rolled out a small hotfix which addresses the following issues:

• Ice Drop physics fixed
  
• Adjustments to keyboard vector to improve keyboard handling and physics
  
• A null reference check in track piece selection (Assists with preventing desync)
  
• Game now correctly detects the monitors refresh rate
  
• Ghosted cars are no longer slower than non-ghosted cars
  

This should get things back on track for all players.



Thanks for the continued support. Vroom Vroom!

Players can now face off against five of their friends and rivals in local* and fully cross-platform online races, with all six racers battling to pick up track pieces, build something resembling a coherent track, and smash each other into the void as they fight for victory. It's all the chaos of Make Way, pushed to the extreme!


With six players in the mix, things on the track are bound to get hectic, so why not calm it down a little? Deploy the new Bulldozer track piece to clear away some of the obstacles that your rivals have put down and make yourself a path to victory... or leave space for an even deadlier item.

Players will also have more choice over how they race, with the Custom race mode being even more customisable than before. Increase the final score limit, change how many fails it takes to trigger a checkpoint skip, and more, to create your own racing heaven (or hell). You can even set which weapons and obstacles show up in the game and adjust the rates at which they appear. Tailor your combinations for a balanced game or turn off all the walls and put shotguns absolutely everywhere. The choice is yours.


On top of all that, there are three new vehicles to bash your friends with. Take the kids for a drive in the Crumple Zone, feel like a real racer in the Thunder, or force a daily dose of calcium on your foes in the Milk Truck, modelled after streamer and Make Way lover SMii7Y.

As if all of that wasn't enough, new trading cards, badges and emotes will be available as part of the update.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your friends and get racing!

What a year it’s been! As Make Way crosses the finish line of Year 1, we couldn’t be more thrilled with the journey so far. Watching the Make Way community grow over the past 12 months has been nothing short of incredible. From the epic victories to the hilariously chaotic collisions, your enthusiasm, creativity, and camaraderie have truly made this game something special.

To celebrate, we’re putting Make Way on offer at 50% off for a limited time! It’s the perfect opportunity to invite more friends to the track—and maybe “accidentally” send them flying off it. After all, nothing says holiday spirit quite like Make Way ruining friendships in the best possible way.

And while we’re reminiscing on the past, we’re also racing toward the future. We’ve got some exciting new content in the works, set to arrive in early 2025. Trust us, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next!

Thank you for an amazing year. Here’s to many more races, rivalries, and moments of absolute chaos on the tracks! 🎉

See you on the starting line! 🏎️
