Take your time in a Time Trial | Dev Blog #3
[h2]Helloooo Runagades,[/h2][p]You all know who it issss! Gary D. Tour, back with another update from the streets of Sprint City.[/p][p]I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve already spotted the first few of you tearing through the city this week, and honestly… watching you fly by has been incredible!![/p][p]Last time, we talked about Clockout. Today, I want to tell you more about what you can do in Sprint City when you’re not racing seven other Runagades to survival.[/p][p]Not every race needs explosions, knockouts, or other players breathing down your neck.[/p][p]Sometimes, you just want to go fast.[/p][h3]That’s where Time Trials / Practice Mode come in.[/h3][p]Time Trials are Sprint City’s solo point-A-to-point-B races, designed for runners who want to perfect their movement and really get to know the city.[/p][p]You start at Point A. You finish at Point B. How you get there is entirely up to you.

If you need a bit of guidance, there’s a handy route line to help point you in the right direction. But it’s just that: a guide. Feel free to ignore it completely if you think there’s a faster way through a side street, over a rooftop, or straight through a risky grapple you’re pretty sure you can land.[/p][p]Your fastest runs are recorded on the leaderboards, so if shaving off milliseconds sounds appealing (and I know it does), this is where that addiction begins.

Time Trials are also the perfect practice ground. Want to learn Sprint City’s layout? Test routes? Figure out how aggressively you can spam grapple without completely losing control? This is the place to do it. No pressure, no knockouts, no Runagades chasing you down.

[/p][p]In fact, every Clockout race can be practiced as a Time Trial. Since most Clockout races are a single lap with the same starting and ending point, you’re training on the real course. When the timers start ticking later, you’ll already know where every jump, swing, and shortcut is hiding.
[/p][h3]Challenge Your Rivals (and Friends)[/h3][p]Soon, you’ll also be able to create your own challenges.[/p][p]You’ll pick a Point A and a Point B, generate a link, and share it with your friends or rivals. They’ll have a limited time to set their fastest score and when the dust settles, the fastest Runagade takes all the glory.[/p][p][/p][h3]Playtest With the Devs[/h3][p]Tomorrow at 7PM CET, we’ll have some very special runners hitting the streets of Sprint City.[/p][p]If you’re playing around that time, you’ll have a chance to race against some of the devs themselves. We’ll also be streaming in the Discord server, the town square of Sprint City, so if you’ve got burning questions, feedback, or just want to prove you’re faster than us, be sure to drop by.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Alright, I think I’ve yapped enough for one blog.[/p][h3]See you in the streets,
