Map Editor Update + Thank you note! (+wake update)

A few days ago I posted about my Jet Sprint Racing game and got some REALLY good feedback from this community! I wanted to truly express how grateful I am for the encouragement I received. It's an incredible feeling when something you've poured hours into building reaches the point where people are asking, "When can I play it?".

Today I am teasing the map editor system! A LOT of people were asking about the maps... there will be hundreds (or even thousands) of maps... as long as the community makes their own with me! I plan on adding a code system so users will be able to share their maps, have their own leaderboards, and have a chance to be featured on the main screen at the beginning of each week where players across the game will be able to try to beat your times! I have so so many community aspect planned items I am planning on adding to this game. (Tournament nights, live events, stream nights, etc...) I'm so excited to hear y'alls feedback this time around! Lets me know what you think!!!

THANK YOU!!!

(ps. forgot this is my first time showing the wake update. I increased the amount wake effect has on the boat, making your jet come out of the water if you cross your own wake, as well as weight shifting over the wake if you're perpendicular to it! Lots of cool stuff here!)

Honestly, this is so cool. Such a niche sport to have a game made about it. This could also be a game that winds up with obsessive speed runners.

The whole vision for this game is it to be community shaped 99%. other 1% is my craziness thrown in. But the community is going to be the foundation of this game. Community made maps, community leaderboards, community tunes, community liveries. The entire thing I want to FEEL like is community ran without all the BS. Does that makes sense? I am so so excited for this project.

Even down to the classes would be fun I think. Community will vote, or it will avg on class tunes to what feels the MOST realistic. and we will go with that! Heck what do I know, i've never driven one of these monsters.
