Split-screen testing with Remote Play Together

As we said in our last post about the game, we are working for split screen, we will have some competitive game modes, like popping balloons, whoever makes the most points with maneuvers, drift dispute, in addition to the traditional Race.

The Kart is already well advanced, now we have 2 different ones, which have slight differences in the performance of the Karts.
We are also working on other cars, which we will reveal shortly.

When testing the operation of the Remote Play Together feature in other games in my library, I found myself thinking that Omega should also support the feature, so we are working to release the split screen game modes as soon as possible.

Update 0.17.12
Additions
- Added screen to select a forklift challenge
- Added 5 forklift challenge





In forklift mode, we have an extra camera, which helps the player to check the vehicle's arm, being able to lift, rotate, zoom as desired, but this function for now only works on the Xbox controller, the other functions are all already configured too for the keyboard.



Corrections / Adjustments
- Reducing the nitro effect of Festa
- Improving the stability of the Fesla
- Reduced music volume by 15%

Updates in progress



- New car inspired by a Lamborghini - 95% complete
- Different camera options during gameplay - 85% complete
- Off road mode - 45% complete
- Kart race - 45% complete
- Versus mode in split screen - 36% complete
- Drift mode - 15%

There are other resources that are being worked on, but with progress still in the testing stage, all the resources mentioned above, are already functional, but they need a lot of polish to be available. We want to modify the game's general menus in the next updates.

Our updates are not very frequent, as our team is very small, only 2 people, 1 programmer and 1 artist, we need to test hard not to leave something broken in the updates.

All races in Practice mode, Normal Challenges and Forklift Challenges send the score / time to the Steam leaderboard, we intend to make in-game integration for this feature.

That's it for now, let's run !!
