VELOCIPEDE Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Le ultime notizie ufficiali erano datate addirittura Giugno 2016 e tutti ormai erano convinti che KartKraft, promettente simulatore dedicato al mondo del karting, fosse defunto prima ancora di nascere... Pochi minuti fa gli sviluppatori hanno invece annunciato che una nuova versione del software sarà disponibile in accesso anticipato su Steam il prossimo 1 Novembre ! Gli sviluppatori di KartKraft hanno precisato che non erano affatto soddisfatti della release in Closed Beta Test del 2016, che presentava troppi problemi e carenze, anche su fattori fondamentali come i modelli di pneumatici e telai che non si comportavano correttamente, quindi hanno deciso di ricostrure il gioco da zero, sviluppando un codice che non solo risolvesse tutti i problemi, ma che fosse anche semplice da aggiornare ed ampliare. Il modello di pneumatici è ora basato sulla fisica reale, ricostruito totalmente il motore fisico, rimodellati tutti i kart, migliorato l'intelligenza artificiale, aggiunte le modalità fantasma e leaderboard, creando al contempo il sistema di personalizzazione più avanzato mai visto in un gioco di corse. Dopo un incredibile viaggio, vediamo quindi se finalmente KartKraft saprà stupirci il 1 novembre alle 9:00 PST... Quote When I envisioned KartKraft all those years ago, I wanted to make the game I’d always dreamt of when growing up playing racing games in the 90’s. To say I was heavily inspired by Geoff Crammond’s GP2/3/4, Dave Kaemmer’s GPL, Gjon Camaj’s SCGT, and Stefano Casillo’s NetKar Namie would be an understatement. After racing karts competitively, there wasn’t anything that came close to replicating what it felt like to drive a kart on the limit with 30 other competitors around you and engines screaming at 21,000RPM. And for good reason; despite their deceptively simple appearance, modelling their physical dynamics accurately is an incredibly complex task. Regardless of a kart’s complexity, you won’t ever play a racing game that’s more fun and as close or rewarding than KartKraft. Much to the detriment of the development schedule, little did I know that making the game with the features I wanted was going to be such a monumental task. With a comparatively small development team of 3 programmers and 3 artists, not only did we play catch up to our competition who all had existing foundations to build upon, we also needed to innovate and exceed what they had already developed. We never settle for second best. When we released the Closed Beta Test in 2016 it was evident that there were several shortfalls and fundamental issues that prevented giving you that experience. Most notably, the tyre and chassis models weren’t behaving correctly, replay and photo mode were missing, leaderboards didn’t promote competition and game settings kept resetting. Whilst most testers gave incredibly positive feedback, there was no way I could have released KartKraft and ask you to pay for it when I knew we could do better. Since the end of 2016, and based on the CBT feedback, we completely rebuilt the game from the ground up and have now written over 1 million lines of code. It may not have looked like it, but there hasn’t been a day the game hasn’t been worked on, played or tested with over 15,200 code and art submissions in that time. Let’s not even begin to count the amount of laps driven in that period! And that only fixed the issues we encountered during CBT. It was even more critical that we had a game framework capable of allowing us to consistently maintain a weekly or fortnightly update cycle for content and new features. Secondly, the framework needed to be flexible enough to quickly implement ideas from the community without having to rewrite large parts of the codebase. I’m proud to say we’ve achieved both of these and more. We’ve added a physically based tyre model, rebuilt the physics engine, remodeled all the karts, improved the AI, added cloud saving, leaderboard ghost modes, all the while creating the most advanced customization system ever seen in a racing game. This is the game I dreamt of all those years ago and I can’t wait for you to play it! And now the reason for the update. Given our previous track record with release dates, we weren’t going to make the same mistake of announcing again and disappointing so many of you, until we knew with absolute certainty that KartKraft was ready for Early Access. After an incredible journey, KartKraft will be released next week on Steam on Thursday, November 1st at 9.00am PST Over the coming week, we’ll be releasing new screenshots, gameplay trailers, our Early Access roadmap and an in-depth look at some of the new features we’ve added. It’s going to be an exciting journey and one I and all of you have been waiting for! So set your alarm clocks and add KartKraft to your Steam Wishlist to be notified when it's out. We’re launching!

Alfred ita Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Quando hanno dato l'annuncio che il 1 novembre sarebbe uscito il game la pagina Steam del game dava l'uscita anche in VR, compatibile Vive e Rift solo che dopo che qualcuno ha parlato con un dev e' uscita la notizia che al lancio niente VR ma sara' implementata piu' avanti, https://steamcommunity.com/app/406350/discussions/0/1733216893884179993/ VR is currently in development and will be added during Early Access. Although we initially planned to have it ready for launch, we feel it needs additional work to be ready for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonino94 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Grazie mille per le risposte. Allora, visti i tempi biblici di sviluppo, meglio aspettare l'implementazione, prima di acquistare. Abituato alla realtà virtuale con KRP e KartSim, non riuscirei a tornare a guidare un kart su una tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VELOCIPEDE Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 KartKraft, promettente simulatore dedicato al mondo del karting, sarà disponibile domani 1 Novembre in una nuova versione in accesso anticipato su Steam, release che sostituisce completamente la beta del 2016 che, a detta degli stessi sviluppatori, presentava troppi problemi e carenze, anche su fattori fondamentali come i modelli di pneumatici e telai che non si comportavano correttamente. La nuova versione Steam Early Access quindi, con un modello di pneumatici ora basato sulla fisica reale, un motore fisico tutto nuovo, rimodellati tutti i kart, migliorato l'intelligenza artificiale, aggiunte le modalità fantasma e leaderboard e con un sistema di personalizzazione avanzato, ci metterà a disposizione da subito ben 8 telai con licenza ufficiale (Arrow, CRG, Deadly, Formula K, Monaco, OK1, Praga e Sodi Kart), con motore IAME X30. Ulteriori modelli su licenza e categorie saranno rilasciati con il progresso dell'accesso anticipato. KartKraft wouldn't be the leading karting game without chassis' from some of the world's best karting manufacturers. That's why we've officially licensed manufacturers from Australia, Czech Republic, France, and Italy. From launch, drive an IAME X30 powered chassis from Arrow, CRG, Deadly, Formula K, Monaco, OK1, Praga and Sodi Kart. And that's just the beginning. With more licenses already secured, we'll be adding new manufacturers and updated models all the way through Early Access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VELOCIPEDE Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 We believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience KartKraft, so we're releasing the game with a 10% launch week discount. Priced at US $17.99 down from US $19.99, it's less than the cost of a rear sprocket. To be notified when KartKraft releases, add it to your Steam wishlist https://store.steampowered.com/app/406350/KartKraft/?fbclid=IwAR2PeQPI6mfAPBmjYPv2VGLA183Jmaqt8haXH2kFbFQA1ypX4KjqS2ZJHbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
