Removal of Online Multiplayer and the future of TRF
[ 2021-04-18 11:43:43 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello everyone, This isn't a decision I've made lightly, or one I'm particularly pleased to make, but I feel it's for the best. I've been keeping an eye on the statistics for online play, and it seems like it's only been used a handful of times since the game launched, and on top of that, the time it takes for me to make every game mode, every slight change in gameplay, work in the network part of the game is very time consuming as someone working alone. Given that hardly anyone plays TRF online, and it almost doubles my workload to support the online mode, the next major patch to TRF will remove online multiplayer from the game. If you have a good internet connection, you could use Steam's Remote Play Together feature to stream your game to friends and let them play the local multiplayer mode with you. Or use another service such as Parsec. What are the benefits to this change? Mainly that I will be able to release content more frequently and faster. I don't have to run checks and multiplayer tests, which are hard to do for a solo dev, and take up a significant amount of time. Also, content that has until now been held back due to not working in the games network mode, can now be freely released. This includes a new game mode, which is almost ready. The store page has been updated to remove any mention of online multiplayer, so any new purchases are not under the assumption that the online mode will stay in the game. As I'm not a network programmer, your experience with Remote Play Together or Parsec may be smoother than playing online anyway. :) Thank you for all your support, Oliver

The Race Factory is made with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer and the ability to create your own race tracks. Taking inspiration from arcade racing games of the 80's and 90's, featuring drift physics, weapons to give you the advantage over the competition, and plenty of customization, the aim is to have a fun multiplayer experience, with plenty of variety to keep you entertained!
Features:
- Track Editor included in the game. This track editor was used to build all the tracks that come with the game, so you can create an endless amount of tracks to enjoy! This includes a racing line editor, allowing you to fine-tune the AI's behaviour on your track. The track editor is capable of making both racing tracks and custom Battle Arenas.
- A variety of game modes, from Racing, to Drift, to Infection, there's a bunch of game modes for everyone to enjoy! All game modes support AI drivers. All game modes support at least 4 players, some game modes support up to 8 players!
- 12 Race Tracks and 3 Battle Arenas come with the game, so if creating tracks isn't your thing, you can jump straight into the game and battle it out with your friends!
- 4 Car classes, Street, Sport, Super & Hyper. You can take it easy in the Street class, with fairly grippy tyres and plenty of time to react, it's the ideal choice for newer or younger drivers. But when you feel ready, hop into a Hyper car and be prepared to react quickly and get some drift time in!
- 7 Weapons are available to mess with your opponents, from a Bolt that will force your target into a drift, to a Strike that will hit the driver in 1st position, or perhaps a nifty Nitro to boost yourself ahead of the pack?
- Choose your time of day and weather settings! Race on a sunny morning, Drift on a rainy evening, perhaps even play Infection on a stormy night? Be careful though, in snowy weather, the cars won't respond how you'd like! And I've been hearing reports of a meteor shower???
- And let's not forget the mutators! Fun little settings you can change to switch things up, from disabling brakes whilst forcing cars to always be accelerating, to making the ground icy, there's a few little surprises in there to keep the action interesting!
