Trailmakers News

Hello Trailmaker!

New dev diary about 1.9 Update: Pedal to the Metal. Check the 2 new features included in our next update:

[h2]Passenger seat controls[/h2]

We are adding a toggle to Trailmakers to turn any seat into a passenger seat. It will remove all controls on that seat and even remove the steering wheel for extra immersion.



[h2]Auto-braking[/h2]

Vehicles now auto-brake to let you park on slopes. It also makes it easier to align your cars when setting up a race or a picture!

See a brief overview in our latest YouTube video:

Throughout May and June you raced four new tracks on Race Island. And we are far from done with racing! We are launching (pun intended) new space races in the Space Sector map for a limited time only - with interstellar new decals to unlock.

But before going into the calendar of races, check the AMAZING discount we have live for Flashbulb Games, a beautiful deal in all its glory!

Here is the calendar for the races.

[h2]June 29 - Spore Explorer[/h2]



[h2]July 6 - Doon Dash[/h2]



[h2]July 13 - Wreck Race[/h2]



[h2]July 20 - Lunar Landing[/h2]



Get these decals from each race before July 27:









Land and take off - without Quantum Rudders!

For each race you fly through checkpoints, land in a specific area and take off again. All without Quantum Rudders!

The Devs had a hard time with this (especially with the ScrapMoon on the last race) but we are absolutely ready to be humbled by the engineering of the community as usual and learn, yet again, that even though we made the game we are far from the best at it.

Can’t wait to see you all crack the leaderboards!

T-minus NOW!

In the first episode of the 1.9 Dev Diary, Rune Holm and Johannes Kjems (mostly Rune) talked about the new and revised Impact Damage system in Trailmakers that will bring more consistent impact damage to Trailmakers and prevent vehicles from randomly being smited into atoms.

There is a lot to dig in to and if you missed the livestream - then don’t sweat it - the entire VOD is up on our YouTube already:

For a quicker overview of the new changes, we made a short video for our YouTube here:

See how much of the new stuff you can spot in this teaser:
