Little Racers STREET 1.2 available now!

After a long delay, Little Racers STREET 1.2 has been approved and is available for download. It features the following changes and additions:
  • New feature: Time trial. Now you can practice an event and go for a lap record anytime you like.
  • 2 New Camera modes: Rotating (A bit like cenital, but it always looks in the direction you are going) and Chase (A more typical racing game camera. This is more for show and fun than it is useful though!)
  • Fixed “Show Gamercard” not working on the multiplayer lobby
  • Fixed some multiplayer related crashes.
  • Player count HUD is properly updated when a player leaves
  • Selecting players in lobby works properly after joining a game in progress.
  • Now you can’t go back while finding games until the process is finished (could cause some stability issues). A message is shown in this case. We are aware this process can take some time (around 45 seconds), but we can’t do much about that.
  • Added a time limit of 10 seconds for each race results screen when in multiplayer.
  • Now games can be hosted/joined even for performance classes you don’t own yet: A stock car can be selected in this case.
  • Added 12 new tracks (approx. 45 new events), some of them with crosses for increased fun :).
  • New feature: Multiplayer games will be filled with AI cars if there aren’t enough players (Quick race has a default value of 6). With this, races will start even with just 1 player (he can race against AIs while he waits for people to join).
  • Custom multiplayer games (the ones created via the “Host game” menu) now require the host to press Start before the first race (this way, he can wait for friends to join before starting).
  • The HUD hides when you complete the race.
  • Fixed a crash when a host migration was performed on the lobby screen after a race.
  • Reworked the background tasks system (Hopefully fixing the P2P sharing freeze issue, and hopefully not creating new issues in the process :S ).
  • Gameplay should be smoother during P2P score shares.
  • Fixed a crash when kicking a player under some circumstances.

You’ll be prompted to download the game the next time you launch it.

Note: Multiplayer mode is not compatible between 1.1 and 1.2 : Games of different versions won’t appear when searching. You could be able to join 1.1 games via invites or guide, but it’s not going to work. Please update as soon as possible.

Announcing our web store for PC games!

We are currently in the process of porting some of our previous games to PC/Windows, and we’ve set up a small web store in the product pages. Although there are still some things to work out in our website to make it easier for visitors to check out the games, the store should be completely functional. You can use credit cards or a Paypal account.

For now, only MotorHEAT is available in the store, but we plan on getting Zombie Football Carnage and Infinity Danger very soon. You will have demos at your disposal as well.

And, to celebrate, we’re starting with a 50% discount on the MotorHEAT full version! Just use the MH_RELEASE code when asked for a coupon and you’ll get the game for half the price! This will only work until Sunday Nov 13th!

Click here to view the products available.
You can download the MotorHEAT demo on the product page: http://www.milkstonestudios.com/motorheat/.

Please bear in mind that, although we’ve tested the game thoroughly, it’s our first game available for windows, so some issues can arise during gameplay or during setup. If that’s the case, please contact us and we’ll help you! Also remember you can try the demo before you buy the final game, to ensure it works properly :).

Avatar Farm 1.2 update released

Finally, 1 week after we submitted the second update, it’s available for download. Remember the changes:

  • (Maybe for sure this time)Fixed P2P Freeze during score sharing.
  • Added the concept of tools (tractor, seeder…) that improve farming speed.
  • Added 5 new plants: Tomato, Potato, Corn, Sunflower, Rice
  • Added 2 new decoration elements: Scarecrow, Clothes line
  • Fixed USA Flag not visible
  • Fixed flags not visible from one side
  • Added animations to all flags.
  • Increased level cap to 20.
  • Now you are asked to sign in with an account before playing
  • Added freeze and crash detection system to improve further bugfixing.
  • Added a progress indicator to the season text.
  • Improved scenery around the farm
Sadly, it seems the freeze bug hasn’t been fixed on this update as usual :(, and the freeze detector doesn’t seem to be working as expected, so we won’t be able to get more info on the issue (We experienced the freeze just one time, though).
Remember that if you experiment the freeze issue, you can disable P2P scores on the game settings and they will go away.
