Steam was amazing for a week or two, enough sales to continue working on it, but then it pretty much fizzled out. I knew it'd drop quickly after the first few days, but not this much. Last week's sales were half what it was the week before and yesterday there were no sales at all (none today so far either). So unfortunately things are not looking good. I'm still sticking it out to do the tunnelboats at least regardless of what happens with sales.

Right now I'm developing a new mesh generation system for the tunnels that's spline based and much more advanced/flexible than what came before it. It should be possible to generate more than one mesh from these definitions, so there'd be a low poly version for the physics like we have now, but then a much higher detail version for the graphics to hopefully make things look nicer. This will only be used for the tunnels and maybe whatever comes after that (provided sales pick up with the tunnel release). The old (current) boats will stay the same.

Our F1 tunnel boat driver contacted me recently and wants to help out any way he can, so there will be top notch feedback available throughout at least to keep things as true to life as possible.

this forum has been pretty quiet recently, hows everything going/ everybody doing?

Tunnelboat work is still underway and will be for awhile yet. You can see some news periodically about it over in the Facebook group, most of it the last month has been about the new mesh generator:

(Group name is Design it Drive it : Speedboats so if this link is goofy you can just search on Facebook for it).

Tunnelboats have been released. 🙂
