Street Legal 1: REVision News

Audio

• Reduced maximum simultaneous ambient sounds.
  
• Higher playback priority for player/racer engine sounds - cuts are much less likely now!
  
• Lower volume for some city object impact sounds.
  

Pedestrians

• First pedestrian dialog seen during the career now always uses generic naming & response lines, rather than supporter submissions.
  
• Added a visual hint to interact with pedestrians, shown after a little aimless driving in the city, if no pedestrians have been interacted with yet during that career.
  
• Removed gameplay impact warning previously shown when applying VERY LOW pedestrian density setting.
  

Part shops

• Fixed a way to crash the game related to exiting photo mode.
  
• Dynamic lighting has been set up for all shops.
  
• Shops can now also be exited by clicking the door - click range is not unlimited for this, to avoid potential accidental clicks.
  
• New development/modding features.
  

Enjoy, and please let us know of any issues! :)

[h2]List of changes[/h2]

• Fixed a softlock when trying to skip the splash screen using Esc with loading screens in 'AGGRESSIVE' mode.
  
• Fixed a crash related to asking a pedestrian for a shop.
  
• Fixed various bugs related to the navigator marker of a freeroaming opponent - the marker is now immediately placed in the correct position, and tracking is more reliable!
  
• Minor career file I/O fix.
  
• Cleaner Catalog when viewing without a car in the garage.
  
• All the recent crowdfunding supporter pedestrian response submissions have been added!
  
• Improved memory management again, mainly in relation to first person mode and some camera rail editor features.
  
• The game now launches in fullscreen by default again.
  
• If fullscreen startup fails on your system, the game is now automatically restarted in the safer windowed mode instead!
  With this in place, you will no longer need to delete files to recover from saving unsupported video settings!
  The issue will continue to be investigated!
  

Enjoy, and please let us know of any issues! :)

[h2]List of changes[/h2]
Cars/parts

• Narrowed rear track of the Axis.
  
• Removed an experimental global 50% boost to brake friction;
  Though this was more realistic, it greatly diminished the role of brakes as a maintenance item, and reduced reason to upgrade.
  
• Having a (non-functional) supercharger attached to a turbocharged inline 4 engine no longer overrides the attributes of the turbo.
  
• Added a drive power penalty to turbocharged engines uselessly also operating a supercharger.
  

Input

• Added a secondary set of menu navigation binds - bind them to buttons on your controller to converse with pedestrians and racers without reaching for the keyboard!
  You can also use them for other menu navigation of course, but you'll still need the mouse and keyboard for many functions!
  
• Race Setup now supports adjusting the bet via rebound menu keys, not just clicks and arrow keys - controller users won't need to reach for the mouse/keyboard unless changing the finish line!
  
• Added an axis tester function for throttle/brake/steering/clutch to the options menu - you can test how your controller is working, and adjust input filters with a live preview!
  

Misc

• Fixed pedestrian talk dialogs sometimes reappearing immediately after exit.
  
• Increased traffic density to more closely match that of the original game.
  
• Added a "VERY LOW" traffic density level, equivalent to the previous "LOW".
  
• Added a gameplay impact warning when applying "OFF" and "VERY LOW" pedestrian density settings.
  
• Fixed a crash related to deleting careers.
  
• Fixed the main menu background reshaping for different aspect ratios incorrectly.
  
• Disassembly error dialogs can now be hidden by clicking anywhere on the screen, not just the dialog itself.
  
• New 'black bar filler' backgrounds for Club Info and Congratulation dialogs, featuring different colors for each club.
  
• Added recent crowdfunding supporters to the credits.
  Reminder: Crowdfunding closes in less than 24 hours! Last chance to get your name and pedestrian response lines in-game!
  
• Further improved memory management - please let us know if you still ever get a constant stutter happening exactly every two seconds!
  This will also improve stability related to minimizing the game, though there is still chance of this action resulting in the aforementioned stuttering and/or game crashes - please let us know under what in-game conditions you had minimized the game if this happens to you!
  

Enjoy, and please let us know of any issues! :)

The changes have been implemented over the course of several small updates since Jun.19.

Hand-holding

• After start of a new career, the garage side panel is now automatically opened after closing the welcome dialog.
  You will have to press Esc or Mouse 4 to toggle it as normal afterwards.
  
• Honking near a pedestrian while going too quickly now displays a mid-screen message instructing to slow down.
  These instructions stop appearing after you've talked to a few pedestrians, and have other limitations to keep them from being intrusive.
  

Misc

• Fixed rare crashes related to pedestrian and racer selection RNG.
  
• Fixed a crash related to changing tach font.
  
• Removed some leftover debug text in the city.
  
• The game now launches in windowed mode by default - this is a temporary solution for avoiding startup issues on some systems, while we figure out the cause.
  You are safe to switch to fullscreen mode after launching the game for the first time!
  

Hope you're enjoying the demo!
Please let us know of any issues! :)

[h2]Demo features[/h2]

• Get a taste of progression - make your way up the ranks of the first two racing clubs, unlocking additional cars and more of the city along the way!
  
• 8/16 cars in-game, 4 available for purchase;
  FWD, AWD, RWD, high-end FWD.
  
• I4 and V6 engines available - bigger ones don't fit in the available cars anyway :)
  A twin-turbo V6 has enough power for wheelies, don't worry!
  
• No restrictions on use of cheats, nor other console commands!
  We understand that some may wish to enjoy the game differently.
  

[h2]Notable limitations / shortcomings of the Demo[/h2]

• Reduced moddability - no .java files included, nor the SLRR car conversion tool!
  
• Some bugs have yet to be solved;
  Most importantly, don't collide with opponents as they're freeroaming the city, or bad things will happen! (Crashing into them during races is fine :)).
  Besides this, the game is stable and very playable!
  
• Most-recent crowdfunding supporter pedestrian line submissions have yet to be added.
  
• The second parts' shop is unfinished - we've been too busy fixing bugs and improving stability to complete it in time - sorry!
  

No more delays! No matter what, the game's coming out on this date!

"Q2" has been the promised release window for a while now, and while a release just before the end of June is still doable, some quality would need to be sacrificed to accomplish this;
Therefore, we decided it best take our time, and have a strong launch!

Plans

• The remaining part shops will be given the same level of care as the first one - no cutting corners!
  
• We'll keep eliminating bugs, and continue improving stability as much as we can.
  
• We'll be taking feedback & bug reports from the Demo, and the now greatly delayed private Beta!
  
• Any spare time will be used to add Steam achievements!

Valo city still needs more variety of pedestrians!

Huge thanks to everyone who chipped in already, to make this REVision Edition possible!
We'll make it from here :)


Enjoy the Demo, and stay tuned! :)
