🎨 Improved Graphics & Materials

We’ve made major upgrades to the material system. Bikes, riders, trackside objects and more now support normal maps, specular maps, reflections and animated textures, allowing for much more detailed and realistic visuals throughout the game.

☀️ Lighting Improvements

The lighting system has been improved. The sun direction now automatically aligns with the brightest area of the skybox, meaning shadows are always cast in the correct direction for each track and environment.

🧩 Better MXS Compatibility

Track importing compatibility with MXS tracks has been improved even further. We’ve also added support for multiple materials per object, helping imported tracks look and behave more accurately in-game.

⚠️ Improved Error Handling

We’ve improved the importer’s error handling system with clearer and more explicit error messages, making it easier to identify and fix issues during track integration.

🎨 New Artwork & Branding

A huge thanks to jGAS for creating new artwork and updated logos for the project. These improvements help give the game a much stronger and more polished identity moving forward.

🌿 Testing Modern Environment Technology

We’ve also started experimenting with modern Unity environment assets and rendering technologies to push the visual quality far beyond traditional motocross sims. This includes high quality textures, advanced water effects, dense vegetation, animated trees and foliage, and many of the environmental details you would expect from a modern AAA title. The goal is to create tracks and worlds that feel alive, immersive and truly next generation.

🏁 What’s Next?

Development is continuing at full speed as we keep improving the game’s visuals, systems and overall polish. We’re also continuing work on core features that will move us closer to online multiplayer and early access release.

Thank you again for all the support and feedback. Every update gets us one step closer to delivering the motocross game we’ve always wanted to play.
