Difficulty levels?

[moltobenny]

Since finding them a couple weeks ago, I have done little else but play NSGP and SLR, but I find that I have the same problem/request with both of them, that the difficulty levels are too coarse.

Specifically, in each game, I find that Medium is a breeze, and Hard is impossible. Something in the middle ground there I think is necessary, because after buying the Private Island on medium in NSGP, and winning the big tournament in SLR, I'm putting the games away because Hard is just too big a step up.

Any chance of making the difficulty levels a little more granular?

Thanks.

I agree that a little tweaking might be needed...

Normal difficulty is nicely balanced for the early, shorter tracks - but it's far too easy on the later races because the AI does badly on the longer tracks. Ideally, Normal should become the new Easy. Hard can stay as it is - I haven't managed to come better than 4th yet!

Off-topic, but the weedy laser sounds from offscreen AIs are a bit annoying - for a while I thought that the dreaded X-Fi static problem had come back! If there is an update, is there any chance of toning them down a bit? Or alternatively, giving the option to make the weapon sounds a little more explosive all round?

Hi guys. I'll look at these issues in the next update. :)

Hi guys. I'll look at these issues in the next update. :)

Good news, thanks :)

Incidentally, the sound thing I mentioned is really just an annoying short -phut- from the rear speakers (X-Fi Gamer, Vista, 5.1 setup). It sounds very like a static click, but it's obviously a muted version of a game sound. It's probably worth checking if it's a more general issue before devoting masses of time to it.

Now that I've spent more time on it and had some success with hard, I will change my stance to "hard is just right". But I still think it needs a level between medium and hard.

(...and a level above hard. hehehe)

I think hard mode in SLR is not very hard. I win 2 times on 3 :D I think I'm a champion:dance::lol: but also you must be lucky for win :)


Hi guys. I'll look at these issues in the next update. :)

A question: The next update will be bought or it will be free? :rolleyes:

[Cookie Monster]

The next update will be free for those who have already paid for the first version, but if SLR2 comes out you will have to pay again. What will come out is SLR 1.1

[moltobenny]

On what do you base these very exciting claims? (re: 1.1)

Hi guys. I'll look at these issues in the next update. :)

That and another post that is around here somewhere. :D

I wish that SLR 2 will never come out! :P but is SLR 1.1 sure to come out? Thanks :)

[Cookie Monster]

As Simon says, it is sure to come out soon. :D

[Pumone]

Do you speak about SLR 1.1?:rolleyes: Not about SLR 2 :blimey:!!

[Cookie Monster]

Yep, he was speaking about SLR 1.1 :)

[Pumone]

Thank you:), sorry for my distraction :redface:

[Pumone]

In SLR 1.1 I'd like to race against 15-20 riders, is it possible? :)

[Cookie Monster]

Nope, you have to race always against the same number of riders. I am not sure if removing the riders from the database lets you race against a different number of riders though.

[Pumone]

I managed to add 2 new racer but only 12 can race :doh: I have just tried :)

[Pumone]

What will be the new features of SLR 1.1? New tracks I think and then? :)

[siread]

Even I don't know yet. :P

[Pumone]

:D
I only trust in the addition of some opponents to reach the 15-20 competitors B) but if it isn't possible it will be the same for me :)
