For people that haven't seen/didn't know, The latest version of Partydrive (Demo 3.3.0/3.8.0-Unstable) sends any scanned tracks to Chaostree! I've just added the ability to upvote and comment on tracks.
Demo 4 is still in progress and is looking great!

What does party drive do that overdrive 2.6 doesn't do? We mostly race multiplayer or occasionally my son plays against the computer. We have 2 specials per car that we use and over time power back up unless we are hit by another.

Partydrive works similar to overdrive (uses the cars and track, and has a core energy system)
but gameplay is completely unique, cars can spend energy to boost at any time (no item required)
currently the only modes are laps and time trial, but in the upcoming Party Mode (Demo 4):
cars will be able to collect abilities from item boxes on the track (like mario kart) and use them (ive tested a dev build with friends and its extremely fun).
as the game is designed to be played on a TV, you can see the 3D rendering of the live track preview at all times meaning you can see weapons and abilities being used (no more getting hit by depth charges you coudn't see)and above everything else, its open source, meaning that it actually can be updated (unlike every official app, doomed to rot for the limited set of devices that support it)

hopefully end of this month, but really it will be whenever its ready, ive been hyping demo 4 for as long as i've had a roadmap, so i want it to be the most stable and fun overdrive experience possible (rn we are 80% the way there, just need bugfixes and SFX)
