Yesterday we ran a full playtest with all the latest changes and new rules—and it was a massive success across the board. The new initiative mechanics clicked perfectly. The drift rules hit the sweet spot: not too punishing, but still a genuine threat. Preemptive braking maneuvers were also spot on, and players used braking exactly as intended to avoid the consequences of reckless cornering. Even the minor quality-of-life improvements to the speeder dashboard played beautifully.
Next up? Test, test, and test some more. We need to break the system and see if there’s an unbeatable metagame strategy. If there is, we’ll crush it. Once the core loop is completely bulletproof, we’ll start rolling out some exciting new game modes!
