Star Overdrive News

[p]Hey Star Overdrive riders![/p][p][/p][p]Have you guessed what our musical inspirations behind Star Overdrive?[/p][p]From the very beginning of the game's creative process, composer Andrea Federici began imagining a musical universe inspired by 80s rock.[/p][p]The goal was to come up with heavy riffs that you'd want to listen to at full speed and that would take you back in time![/p][p][/p][p]AC/DC, Van Halen, Mr. Big, Deep Purple... All these Rock Legends with their powerful riffs and incisive solos give off a raw energy that we wanted to capture in our game.[/p][p][/p][p]🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more![/p]

[p]Hi Riders! [/p][p]Welcome to new players discovering the game, here's a list of 5 tips to help you get started! 😊[/p][p][/p][h3]Tip 1: Ride hard![/h3][p]One of the central aspects of the game is your hoverboard. As you cruise the Cebete planet with it, do tricks and jump over the dunes to gain boost! You'll be much faster, and you'll be able to enjoy incredible gliding sensations.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Tip 2: Boost your Hoverboard[/h3][p]Collect crafting components to upgrade various parts of your Hoverboard. Depending on your play style and preferences, these will help you go faster, jump higher, gain strength and so on![/p][p][/p][h3]Tip 3: Ride with style[/h3][p]You can customize your hoverboard. Be on the lookout for exclusive designs hidden on the map and in chests! To note: customization isn't just for looks. A freshly painted hoverboard will be more efficient![/p][p][/p][h3]Tip 4: Surf on water[/h3][p]You must have been surprised the first time you tried surfing on water. Surfing on water requires a special crafting componant found in the sandworm's mouth! So collect the Gravitanium by killing your first Sandworm, then upgrade your Hoverboard with it.[/p][h3][/h3][p][/p][h3]Tip 5: Fights[/h3][p]Let's end this list of tips talking about fights! Throughout the game, you'll unlock powers that you can use to weaken or kill enemies from a distance! You can also attack hand-to-hand with fast and heavy attacks for maximum damage.[/p][h3][/h3][p][/p][p]After these tips, we hope these tips will help you get started, and that your journey to the planet Cebete goes smoothly! Don't hesitate to share your tips in the comments.[/p][p][/p][p]See you in Cebete :)[/p]

[p]Hello riders! Patch 1.0.10 is here. Based on your feedback following the game's release, it improves gameplay, fixes various bugs and adds PlayStation controller support on PC. Thanks again for your feedback, which helps us improve the game every day! 🤘[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Changelog [/h3]

• [p]Fixed the issue where the QR code for the manga was still shown in the options menu.[/p]

• [p]Fixed the issue where selecting the tab icons dots with the mouse when in the option menu (coming from the main menu) would make the "back" button stop working and by pressing ESC it would show the in game menu, locking the player.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue with how the component stats bonus is shown in the hexagonal stats chart (the bonus it the one in yellow, activated by having component all of the same design or all of different design). This bonus wouldn't scale visually with the scale shown by the hexagonal chart, now they are scaled accordingly.[/p]
• [p]Added SPACE BAR as a "confirm" input (in addition to mouse LMB).[/p]
• [p]Added ESC as main "back" input (in addition to RMB, but now it shows the icon for esc in the interfaces).[/p]
• [p]Added ESC as main "hold to exit" button (in addition to RMB, but now it shows the icon for esc in the interfaces). Used in situations like skipping short cutscenes or leaving the extra section.[/p]
• [p]Now skipping the use/leave workbench cutscene uses the same "hold to exit" button as the rest of similar situations (which is now ESC). Before it only used LMB.[/p]
• [p]Inside TABs with hexagonal scrollers (hoverboard components, materials in the crafting tab, customization, designs) now the user can move horizontally and vertically to a different component, material etc. by clicking on it with the mouse LMB (in addition to using WASD).[/p]
• [p]The when opening the menu during play will place the mouse at the center of the screen instead of the top left for better usability.[/p]
• [p]Fixed issue that prevented unlocking the "Ride with style" achievement, when collecting all the hoverboard styles.[/p]
• [p]Fixed issue that didn't show the correct number of max available styles in the customization section of the workbench.[/p]
• [p]Added a sound effect for the platform devices (inside mines) that move based on the position of the player on the platform itself.[/p]
• [p]Now when doing races a second time after winning once will have the time time added with ring reduced from 20s to 15s.[/p]
• [p]In the Lambda mine, the initial one with a cross made of rails at the start and a cart in the middle, it was possible to activate the doors by using the wheels even if the cart wasn't close to the wheels. There where also 2 duplicate d4 lasers that have been removed (the only lasers that should be available are the ones generated by pressing the buttons).[/p]
• [p]We have added direct support for Playstation controller on PC, with the correct icons appearing. This requires Steam input to be disabled to test it.[/p]
