[/p][p][/p][p]You don't have to wait long, because the
Deffkopta is coming in next week's Orktober patch, along with a couple new maps:
Scrap in Da Yard for Kill Konvoy, and
Deff Gorge for Deff Rally.[/p][p]More on that later...[/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][h2]ORKTOBER [/h2][p]Now, with that great news comes some unexpected news, which is that the upcoming
LEVEL EDITOR has been
delayed to instead launch in another big update for
November. We felt this was the right choice since cloud
Workshop support wasn't going to be ready for next week, and there's still some polish things we'd like to add to the editor, which we think the community will really appreciate.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, some of you gits might be thinking "Why doz dis matta to a speedy, smashy, krumpy git like me dat just speedily smash's and krumps ova gits?"[/p][p][/p][h3]Well, my mean and green friend, a
level editor with a shared
Workshop means that there will be lotz and lotz of new, community-made levels to play with each other - and if what we've seen so far from our testers is any indication, there will be some
INSANE maps.[/h3][p][/p][p]And if you're the type of git who likes to make maps, even better.[/p][p]Our testers and us devs have had some amazing sessions of a host creating maps in realtime,
while others played them as they were being built.[/p][p]These play sessions can turn into absolute lunacy, especially when in voice chat together.[/p][p][/p][p]For example, this was the beginning of a silly level we started making as a team in realtime.
But this is nothing compared to how much more you can do with the editor.[/p][p]

[/p][p][/p][p]So yeah, as we've said before, we are
super excited to share this feature with the player base and can't wait for you guys can see what people build - either right in front of your eyes while playing, or by downloading it from the Workshop.[/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][h2]DA MAPS 🗺️[/h2][p]Alright, wot about sum more info on da update next week ya?[/p][p]We've got two new maps, one for each
Kill Konvoy and
Deff Rally.[/p][p][/p][p]
Kill Konvoy - Scrap In Da Yard takes place in a - you guessed it - massive scrapyard. There's moving scrap everywhere, lots of verticality to take advantage of, and a massive trench in the second half which leads to a big scrap dump for the final stretch.[/p][p]We think this is one of the best Konvoy maps yet, and we think you'll agree once you play it a couple times 👍[/p][p]

[/p][p]It's also got a spooky secondary lighting version:[/p][p]

[/p][p][/p][p]
Deff Rally - Deff Gorge is a DR version of Kill Konvoy - Da Gorge, after a snowfall and the area has been somewhat abandoned. The level's alternate lighting is quite striking having a sunset contrasting with the snowy ground.[/p][p]Gorge makes for a great race playground, and you'll see what we mean when you play it. There's also an area that has players race through a forest, a first in Speed Freeks.[/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][h2]DA MUSIC 🎵[/h2][p]Any proppa git likes a badass tune, and our resident musicians Cave Bat have created a fantastic new tune for the main menu, so you can jam out while customizing ridez and checking stats.[/p][p]Really happy with how this song turned out, so we're eager to see what da freeks think of it.[/p][p][/p][h2]

[/h2][h2]DA STEAM DECK[/h2][p]Just a quick note about steam deck, is that we've seen a severe issue reported where performance will drop to 0-3 fps for periods of time - we're assuming due to shader compilation.[/p][p]This is strange because it seemed to have starting happening a couple months ago, either after one of our patches (where we didn't change anything related) or a Steam OS update.[/p][p]We're investigating the issue and will try to have something done for next week's update but we can't promise anything at this time, since although we can reproduce it, it's difficult seeing what the cause is.[/p][p][/p][p]We'll keep you
Steam Deck users up to date on any fixes for this. Sorry for the poor experience right now.[/p][p][/p][p]
