DollKart News

EDIT: this is a reminder to visit the OKSoft Discord, everything made by me and friends under OKSoft will be shaped, teased etc. there.


So, I should be working on studying for tests. Let's write an update post.



What's next for DollKart?

To be honest I feel that DollKart as it stands is a really complete game, especially with the last update. I do see myself making a couple improvements and this is about those. If and when I get the time to do so, I'll release an update with all of these.



Size Reduction

DollKart uses massive sound files, I could easily compress these, which'd not lower the sound quality. I could also delete the old unused code, models and textures. This might even halve the game size, but who cares. It's a PC game on steam, no one is gonna struggle with downloading 140 MB. I'll eventually do it


Cheat Codes

Cheat Codes are fun, I want to eventually add them, it'd be nice. Please recommend some in the comments of this post. Again, this isn't necessary, I will make it happen for the sake of my enjoyment when I have the time.

DollKart leaderboards are now publicly available and ready for players to try and dominate Here

Multiplayer should also work better now.

Hello, we've released a major update to DollKart.



- Added currency system and shop

From this update on, every point you earn in DK's single player and all points earned by player 1 in split screen will count as one credit. These credits can be spent in the shop to unlock customization and upgrades in the shop. These upgrades/items do not apply to 2P.

- Added the following items to the shop for unlock:

FWD Kart - A yellow, front wheel drive kart. Makes 0 sense, easier to drive than RWD(stock) but if you lose grip, you are gonna have a bad time.

AWD Kart - A purple all-wheel drive kart. More akin to a Formula Student car than kart. Weighs extra but is still by far the fastest kart, will have a hard time turning on the throttle, however.

Jump - The old multiplayer jump is now an unlockable ability, can be used for amazing stunts and save you from death.

Massive Wing - Totally useless in game and will get you called a ricer. But in the end, it will be you who has the massive wing.

- Added Steam leaderboards

Your high score in DollKart will now be tracked via a Steam leaderboard, so you can see how you stack up against the rest of the world

- Added a New map for Multiplayer

The promised sandbox map is now available for play in the MP section of the game.




- Lowered keyboard steering sensitivity and slowed down loss of grip due to popular demand, the karts are much more controllable in keyboard play

- Halved win distance in 2P mode

- Fixed singleplayer countdown timer going below 0

- Changed kart undertray collision geometry in order to lower the "snag" when corner cutting or going offroad

- Fixed music automatically starting muted

- Upgraded the engine from Unity 2017.1 to Unity 2018.2.6, this should improve multiplayer stability, FPS and many minor details

- Increased MP playercount to 12

- Minor bug fixes

So hello,

This is a sort of update update: the update will come in a week maximum, we haven't duped you guys. If you have any complaints/issues/bugs you noticed, please don't hesitate to tell us here or on the discord.


We thank anyone and everyone that's so far played and/or given feedback on the game and apologize for the few bugs present.

Hello!

So, we've been receiving feedback and data and we've been listening to it. We decided to plan a big update, due right at the end of August, fittingly called the Back To School update.

Feel free to jump on the discord as we will be taking votes as to how some parts of the update will work.

The update will include:

-A big new sandbox map for all of our gamemodes. This map will replace the MP map and be an option for the offline gamemodes.

-An increased MP playercount.

-Unlockables based on your score that will effect how you play DK. This includes new go karts, a jump ability and a massive wing.

-Steam based score leaderboards.

-Various minor improvements and fixes.
