Nitronic Rush Update #1

Despite it being finals week for us at DigiPen, we still wanted to get the newest update to you guys! Today we’re shipping the update to version 2011.12.12.0.  It’s a pretty small update with 5 new levels, a few bug fixes, and tweaks to existing content.

To update you simply need to download the newest version of Nitronic Rush on our download page, uninstall the game, and run the new installer. Your old scores and ghosts should be fine and won’t be deleted. You can read the full changelist below.

    Thanks for the update, guys! Are you planning to release a full soundtrack? I’d be interested in buying it.

    I love this game, I’m not a fan of racing games in general, I’ve only finished one racing game, nfs carbon, usually I play competitive games, rts and moba.

    Suggestions.
    – Remove the restriction of xbox360controllers only, I had to hack the game to be able to use my controller.
    – Commercialization, I don’t care if you commercialize it, I’d gladly pay for it if it has a fair price that I can afford.
    – Multiplayer, this would be an awesome competitive game with high re-play-ability, with or without collision.

    Again thank you for this amazing game.

    Please never ever ever stop making levels

  10. Error 52 says:

    If this is a small update, I can’t imagine a big update.

  11. parasith says:

    is there coming a rebindable key option?
    cause it’s almost impossible to play with an azerty-keyboard.
    i hope it’ll be there soon.

  12. BlueR34 says:

    Next update can you put a new car which is based on Super GT (San Francisco Rush 2049 car)

  13. Noname says:

    will you make a multiplayer for split screen i really want to play the game with my brother and race each other at same time not with ghost only,please include it in the next patch people really look for games with split screen multiplayer.

  14. […] Now including Update #1 (v.2011.12.12.0). Read the details here: http://nitronic-rush.com/2011/12/nitronic-rush-update-1/ […]

  15. Aj says:

    please add split screen oflline multiplayer and multiplayer

  16. Aj says:

    if u do it will be the best

  17. Snork says:

    This is a very promising game if you continue to develop content for it. If it’s not too much can you allow to bind keys through the game’s setting rather than the config file? Just for ease of use.
    Great update nontheless.

  18. Syntax says:

    I really hope you decide to put in multiplayer as well, this game reminds me of Trackmania Nations Forever, if the multiplayer would be somewhat similar to that + a similar level editor, then i think you seriously would have a game able to compete with Trackmania’s racing game(s)

  19. bigchunk1 says:

    I play the hardcore modes regularly! I can’t get enough of this game. Wall jump boost wall jump boost aaaaaaaaa! I like what you all did with the camera. It seems to make lining up the car with the walls easier. NITRONIC RUUUSH! Maybe one of these days I will get through hardcore black without crashing… haha!

  24. I do accept many of the tips you have launched as part of your write-up. There’re genuinely persuading and can surely function. Even so, the articles are too short for starters. May well you please stretch these individuals somewhat out of next period? Information posting.
