  Cross Platform is HERE!

  Hey there fellow Slopecrashers! Sorry for the radio silence, turns out making console versions takes (omg so much) longer than I anticipated, but the good news is, the console versions are all now verified by the console makers!! The release date is 90% locked in! So now I only need to await the go ahead from the first parties, this means it now really is only a matter of weeks for the console release and I will be able to announce the release date hopefully next week!! And for everyone who is asking which consoles are we talking about: the game is coming to Switch, PS4 and Xbox One (which means it will also run on the newer consoles) So this update here is basically now the Day 0 version of the console release, fixing up a bunch of things that you all mentioned either in reviews or in the discord!Patchnotes: 1. AI Rework and Rubberbanding ChangesIn my quest to make an AI system that fits all players I clearly didn't fully manage to pull this off, but turns out, I didn't really need to, most games have difficulty settings so why not Slopes? So I added a new setting into the options of the game: CPU Difficulty: Choose between Easy / Normal / Hard to get the challenge you want from the game. If you choose the harder difficulties, you'll get more rewards when winning races, so there is a little bit of incentive to choose the higher difficulties. Now this also means AI difficulty is not coupled with the speedclasses anymore, so if you like the game on Casual, you can still have a challenge now with harder bots, or if you only like the fastest speedclass, but didn't like the difficulty of the bots, you can turn it down.CPU Rubberbanding: Now I heard you complaining about the rubber banding, and it is fair, it was very aggressive until now. I initially wanted to implement a toggle to disable it, but tbh, this doesn't really cut it in a game as open as slopecrashers. There would only be a subset of people then having fun and the AI would be too slow / too fast for the othe...

  The Big Online Update is here!

  Hey everyone, it is finally here, the first big update for Slopecrashers! This update contains 3 major key points and a lot of smaller fixes, so here are the patchnotes! 1. Slopecrashers is now rocking Unreal Engine 5.5! This engine upgrade from 4.27 was done for future proofing the game, making sure we can do stuff like cross platform play and overall performance improvements and bugfixes. 2. Coop Lobbies You are now able to play the tours and grand prix' together in online mode, with progress being saved for every player -> Meaning if 1 player gets medal 1, player 2 gets medal 2, that means in the end everyone will get both medals and it will save in their savegames. Same with grand prix' where stars are saved for all players. Furthermore you can play grand prix in competitive lobbies (8 players), but progress will be saved on a per player basis. 3. Online Rewards The game now has online rewards. Progress your online level and unlock rewards until level 100. There are new costumes, board designs, skins, etc. Other players can also see your level in the lobby now so everyone knows how good you are. Here are the most cursed unlockables I've ever done for the game: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40538683/532d36bf7145e43b8b8c3b3437eae1b2ec3d0e84.png Other patchnotes: - Friends can now be joined via lobby codes - check the friends tab to see the code in online mode - Respawn Bugs fixed on Snowy Mountain Railways and Autumn Forest Meadows - Made Collectibles more visible - Added Respawn Volumes to Autumn Forest - Fixed Grappling Points in Pirate Cove - Fixed Respawn Points in Autumn Forest, Sandlands, Pirate Cove - Reduced item homing - Fixed a board selection bug in splitscreen multiplayer that could crash the game - Added a loading screen to session creation - Fixed typos in tours - Changed some icons - Fixed trees throwing off snow even though they didnt have snow - Matches reward more online XP than before - spectator zoom fixed - online character movement synced correctly agai...

  Slopecrashers is Steam Deck Verified (and news about the next update)

  Heyy everyone, Slopecrashers has recently been reviewed by steam and is now finally steam deck verified. So if you've got a steamdeck, you can play the full game on that device. I also added cloud sync quite some time ago so if you switch between your PC and the steamdeck, the savegames will be synced between those machines. ---- Also a quick note about the upcoming update. I finally added and tested all the things I wanted in the new update (coop campaign, online rewards, etc...) and we are now in the final tests with the community, so it should only be a matter of days until you can play the new update. Sorry for the delay, but it has been quite the undertaking. Anyway, see you in a couple of days with the patch notes of the next update. Btw, if you want to join the discord community, here is the link: www.slopecrashers.com/discord Best, -peek {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40538683/b00fed294628932f2a08f55e6fc3e7a94c17ed52.png
