It’s time for another dev-blog. Let’s take a look at what we are preparing for you and go through what’s happening in the studio.

Let’s Talk About Corner Markers
Corner markers. Those big colorful arrows you see as you get closer to a corner. In the beginning, they were put there for a good reason; To assist players who are new to this kind of racing game. Time passed and we have since introduced better ways to ease new players in to the game, mainly the Novice Mode.
With the introduction of Novice mode, we also added corner markers in HUD that let’s the player know what’s ahead and how fast/slow they should take the next corner. In short, we no longer need the static corner markers and for quite a while we wanted to add an option to turn them off and we know a lot of you wanted the same. Well it’s happening now.
