Hello, Riders!
In our last article, we looked at new and returning features that give the players the power to customize their own bike, rider, and tracks in Trials Rising. Today, we’re going to talk to you a bit about how creators will be able to share their content with Trials players around the globe.

Sharing is Caring
In Trials Rising you’ll be able to share your creations like never before. Custom Rider gear, bike skins, and tracks can all be shared with other players via the Gear Store and Track Central. For the first time in the Trials series sharing custom creations will not only add an extra level of challenge and creativity to the experience, but will also come with in-game rewards.

The rewards received for sharing customizations or tracks will be influenced by the Trials Rising community. For customization items, the cost of the customization is calculated based on all of the stickers used to create it. Each time a customization is sold the creator will receive a percentage of the purchase price.
For tracks, creators receive 10 Trials Coins per up-vote with a cap of 1,000 Coins per track*.
“
Trials Rising was designed from the ground up to be a platform for user generated content,” says Game Designer Volodymyr Gerasimov when asked about the new sharing rewards. “
With item customization being the newest addition to the Trials series and the map making community continuing to support us over the years, we want to send a message that the creations they are making are as much a part of the Trials experience as setting new time records or racing in multiplayer.”
Gear Store

The Gear Store will be the hub for sharing or finding the freshest new gear for your bike and rider. It will feature original items created by our team here at RedLynx as well as items customized and shared by other players. You can even take items you download from Gear Store and customize them further to create the perfect piece of gear for your bike or rider.
Items downloaded from the Gear Store and customized further can only be equiped to the bike or rider of the player who made the changes. They cannot be re-shared to the Gear Store as a new item unless all stickers have been cleared and a new customization is started from scratch.**
Track Central

Track Central is where you will be able to satisfy all of your custom track needs. New tracks will be uploaded daily so there is always something new to try any time you load up Trials Rising. Our returning players may notice some cool new updates to Track Central. While the sorting criteria used in Trials Evo & Fusion’s feeds will still play a big role, when you enter Track Central in Trials Rising you will be able to immediately access tracks instead of a list of feeds you can select to explore further.
“
There are lots of quality of life improvements aimed to make the large catalogue of tracks more manageable,” Says Volodymyr about updates to Track Central. “
Search functionality was extended to include more parameters that can later be saved as a filter. Want to see which tracks you have previously played? Upvoted? How about tracks that your friends liked? All of that will be available via special filters. Ninja is now an official difficulty level in Track Central and it will be much easier to find tracks like that if that’s your cup of tea."

Find yourself liking a track from a specific creator and would like to see more from them? Use the custom filter feature to save a search for that creator. Use this custom filter to quickly access tracks by that player and stay up to date with their latest creations. Along with improved searching, we have added a “
Play Later” option. This will allow you to browse the catalogue and create a personal playlist of tracks you wish to try.
February 26 is just the beginning. We have even more features and improvements we’d like to implement for Track Central during the post-launch, so keep your eyes open for more information to come.
Thanks for checking out this week’s Trials Rising Development diary. Tune in next week when we’ll take a deep dive into the in-game economy. What will you be earning as you make your way through Rising’s worldwide Trials competition and how can you use it? We’ll cover all that right here, next week. Until then, we’ll see you on the leaderboards.
Edit notes:
- * The values originally shared in this dev diary regarding Track Central rewards for up-votes were not up to date according to the design for the feature. The reward for up-votes on Track Central were lowered during testing as it was found that the system was too easy to exploit.
- ** Further details have been added to the section regarding editing items from the Gear Store to address concerns that someone might try to re-share another player's work
