The day has finally come, we are now out of Early Access on Steam! We really don't know how to thank each and everyone of you, you gave us a continuos fruitful support that helped us to build our very first game from scratch as a company and deliver it with all the features and modes that you are enjoying now! ːsteamhappyː At the beginning we only had one or two islands, 4 characters, 2 race modes, 1 difficulty option, only a few kart components and game modes and.....a lot of work to do! And prior to that we were only....here: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30068487/b73a65f7716d1c32c31aab34176c445e5f81fc10.jpg You asked us for the online mode, you asked us for the 1st person camera, you asked us to improve the drift system, you asked us to improve the FPS and so on and we gladly did everything we needed to do to accomodate our amazing community...and that's how we created a great game! ːsteamhappyː The game became so rich, so astonishing graphical wise and, most of all, fun that a publisher like PQube Limited decided to help us publishing it also on PS4, Xbox One and Switch! https://youtu.be/xx_YkNgGs18 We are aware that some other "minor" feature you asked us have not been developed so far but we are eager (seriously) to do so later on so please hit the "Follow" button on our store page to remain in touch with us --> https://store.steampowered.com/app/673190/ We have also created our Developer page, which is a Steam Beta feature. If you have enjoyed All-Star Fruit Racing and want to know more about our upcoming projects.....that's the page for you to "Follow" --> https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33018236 We only have just one request for you....well this could be a nice plus for both us and you, let us explain: we created Steam Trading Cards, emoticons, badges and backgrounds for All-Star Fruit Racing and they are really cute, we can assure you! ːsteamhappyː As you may already know Valve initially blocks the release of all this cool things (because of bots and fake games) and let the developer release them only and only if they are confident that this is a real game so....we know for sure that there are several values that Valve takes into account for his "confidence metrics" like people actively playing, games owners and so on. The only thing we ask you is to add a review for the game: this will not only help us to allow to unlock the Steam Trading Cards drop but also will allow us to spread the word about this game to all Steam players around the world...which, who knows, you may challenge online :) https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30068487/c84ee43535f6561e726011ae6870341595510f7c.jpg The "Lime Ness" monster above is just one of the cards we created....as soon as you craft a badge a "Little Seed" will be displayed and you can help him grow and get stronger crafting badges until Level 5 is reached! ːsteamhappyː Thanks again to each and everyone of you, you are, we together are, a great community and we deeply thank you for all the support you gave us! Sincerely. .....Let's Fruit! 3DClouds.it and PQube Limited https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30068487/a4d623fc44e9cfce3fb59de13960563d9dcc3b5b.jpg

WOW GUYS!!! It's really amazing sharing opinions between us in order to improve our game!

- Bonnet camera needs several optimizations - Pad disconnection during race still needs to be managed accordingly - A few issues in Elimination mode - French, German and Spanish localisations not available on the new features (we are working on the translation but they are only in English for now) - Rare freeze on loading screens (if you find a consistent repro steps please let us know! :) ) - Some LOD issues https://i.imgur.com/8QDh1Fr.gif

ONLINE KNOWN ISSUES

- In order to put the focus on a specific lobby to join on the lobby list the only way to do it is to press TAB button until the focus is over the desired lobby - Sometimes podium is not displayed - Sometimes the track overprint shown at the beginning of the race is incorrect - Pausing the race before ending it will cause instability issues for all players in the same lobby - Accepting invites in peculiar situations (into other modes, into another lobby, etc..) could cause instability issues for all players in the same lobby - Disconnection error messages have been improved but are still WIP - On some tracks the animations are not working properly when playing online, for example the dinosaur “Pear-Ex” in the Dino Juice track ......is Pear-Ex ok for you?:) Fresh news! We are working on a new fantastic island! https://i.imgur.com/oY6Tor5.gif https://i.imgur.com/KBJa1FL.gif https://i.imgur.com/0jRMbtG.gif Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30068487/fd9b5dab171eaf21953930b28642401186e5f17a.jpg

O N L I N E implementation!   The player now is able to create lobbies and join browsing them (remember to update the lobby list using "Refresh" button). The Host is able to select a track, track length, race mode and difficulty. Host and Client can both change the character and the kart preset while waiting for the race to start. At the moment only two race modes are available (Juicer and Random Juicer) and the only way to change the track selected is to quit the lobby and create another one. When the Host selects "Ready" a 30 seconds countdown starts and when it finishes the race starts. Clients are able to shorten the countdown to 10 seconds only if every one of them have pressed the "Ready" button. If a Client disconnects during the race an AI will take control of the kart.

As many of you already know we are working hard in order to complete the Online Mode. We are also working on all the community advice and feedback so you can have what you've asked in terms of implementations and new contents :) We're late but.. Happy Halloween :) So, would you like to play on a track inspired by Halloween? Trick or treat? https://i.imgur.com/pLEQZiG.gif We are fully aware that the things to improve are many and of a wide variety... For this reason, we are taking the right time to complete these tasks. Thank you for all the support and discussions opened on our socials and Discord channel to assist us to improve the game. https://i.imgur.com/cUIg7ke.gif

Kart poll

In the past days, we have asked you which kart you prefer the most from a selection given. Well, the winner is the kart number 6! Honestly, we didn't expect this result 'cause the number 6 is the most similar to the real ones. We thought you'd like a very different shape, but "the player is always right" so we will add it in the game as promised :D New polls and contests are waiting for you, stay tuned! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30068487/dae6c15f30a81d91a790a39961967038b8db937a.jpg

Unlockables System

In the next update (available within a few days) we are going to implement a brand new page that will help you unlock....everything! Throughout this page, you'll find all the unlockables items in the game in order to obtain them all! https://i.imgur.com/nuLQZAk.gif

Online Mode

There we are, straight to the point! We nearly got the job done. A first release of the Online Mode will be available in the upcoming update together with everything we listed so far. At the very beginning, everyone will be able to create a lobby and join them. We decided to implement only the basic flow (for the moment) in order to get as much feedback as possible from you and test the servers' efficiency. Subsequently, we will implement the rank system, Championship mode, and other game modes. You'll have all the tracks in the game and you can join up to 8 players. The first mode we'll implement will be Random Juicer race. Going into Online mode the game will load the last custom kart saved and the last character selected, then you will be able to choose another character and/or customize your kart. All unlockables available in this mode will be the ones you have already unlocked playing the game so far. After this update, we will continue working on the other features. For example, on the right side of the page, you'll have all the lobbies listed by ranking and number of players (rankings will be available shortly). These will be the options that will be able to perform the user once the implementation in-game will be complete: - Search for custom Races - Search for custom Championships - Host a custom race or a custom Championship Upon joining Custom Race and Custom Championship lobbies the player will be put into the most populated lobby with a similar ranking. The host will be able to start a race only if at least a single has joined the lobby. When the Host pushes the "Start" button a 30 seconds countdown is played before the race starts. The countdown is reduced to 10 seconds if all clients available press the "Ready" button. We're so excited to this update and we can't wait to look for your feedback. Other features will be added soon! Stay Tuned and play together! https://i.imgur.com/iM4wFoy.gif
