Straight Cut Gears Upgrade Video + Extra Info
🕑 Added 2023-10-21 20:40:46 +0000 UTCNew video showing the straight cut gear sound effects, hope you think it's cool. Here's some extra info;
There's 4 different gearboxes to choose from;
- Stock: neutral gearing bias, no adjustments. (~50% short/long)
- Street: manually adjustable gear bias to 80% of the gear bias range, no straight cut sound.(MIN: 20%, MAX: 80%)
- Short Ratio: faster acceleration, low top speed. Shorter gear bias than the street adjustments can reach, but very extreme. Not adjustable. Inspired by rally cars, will mostly be used for high level touge racing. (0% VERY SHORT)
- Long Ratio: slow acceleration, high top speed. Also has longer gear bias than the street gearbox, meant to be used for high speed racing only. Very easy to fall out of the powerband and revs climb very slow. (100% VERY LONG)
Gear bias adjusting isn't included in the demo(no time to make menu), but this is how the gearboxes work. Most parts in Night-Runners have advantages/disadvantages, so equipping the highest level is not always the best answer for drivability.
- When you equip a short or long ratio gearbox you get the straight cut gear sounds, you get a gear indicator on the dashboard and the gear shift sound changes.

What inspired you to make the straight cut gears sound the way they do in the game. I'm personally a huge fan of the sound they make, especially the one in the BMW M3 GTR Race Car. But in the game the straight cut gears sound a lot more high pitch then what you'd hear in actually race cars.

I can't wait when it does come out, it will be fun to play.

big up killa real nice updates! question: Do you think is it possible to add a interior camera without steering wheel? Like Battle gear games https://www.genkivideogames.com/imagesnew/SLPM62048shots.jpg

That's great news, thanks for responding!

Yes 100%, I'm a huge fan of Junction Produce bodykits + Demo testers will be selected from that list, but don't worry if you're not selected since that list is strictly for testers. Patreons will get the more polished early access version.

Any intend to include Junction produce or similar bodykits in the full Game? I sent the demo request in Google forms a year ago or so, will the demo testers be selected from that list? Amazing work btw cant wait to play the demo!!!

In the demo, races are only started from the meets. In the full game there will be other ways you start races, but currently there's no plans for the flashing light impromptu races.

No you can't, you just have to equip the parts that don't come with it. A lot of other parts get added to the interior of your car as you upgrade it; fuel upgrades make a fuel cell appear in the trunk, ECU upgrades make boost controllers appear, NOS upgrades give you different sized bottles, ect.

So excited for the game, but a bit sad there won't be any police chases. However, will you be able to flash your lights in free roam mode to start an impromptu race? Or can you just start races at meetings?

We can remove the gear indicator in the dashboard customization or not ?
