### **Logan Kart 8 March 2016 Development Update**

**March 1st, 2016**

Progress is being made, albeit slowly. There are three new karts all ready for the next update, and the next three tracks to be added are in various stages of completion. I've got a lot of big plans for multiplayer and redoing the UI, so big changes could be coming to the world of Logan Kart!
Sorry if you are disappointed, but thank you for your support, and stay tuned!

### **Logan Kart Summer 2016 Development Update**

**June 9th, 2016**

I know that some of you may be disappointed by the lack of promptness in pushing out new updates for Logan Kart.
I really want to improve Logan Kart, but the code is pretty old and many of the game systems require a complete overhaul. It's been taking much longer than expected and has experienced multiple brief hiatuses since last summer, but the update is still on its way! With the school year winding to an end, it is hoped that the speed of development will pick up. Unfortunately, though, my main hard drive is failing and I have to replace it, which is just going to make the update take even longer. The plan is still to release an update early this summer, and functionally complete the game before 2016 ends.
I've been asked a number of times about releasing the OST. Although this is something that I know I would like to do eventually for sure, the OST is technically incomplete as some of the unreleased tracks still lack music. That process is still ongoing, but I will release the soundtrack as soon as it is completed.
Once again, thanks for sticking with us, and stay tuned! Later this month I should have some preview images for the next update.

### **Logan Kart December 2016 Development Update**

**December 21st, 2016**

**Version 0.9** has been scheduled for a late December 2016 release (very soon!). It will feature three new karts, at least three new tracks, and some general gameplay fixes that I can't remember off the top of my head.
**Version 1.0** will likely follow in January. This will likely be the final release, featuring all 16 tracks.
Here's some screenshots of two new tracks:

**The Moon is a track with winding curves and branching paths.**

**Notice the improved quality of the track layouts and geometry. A few years makes a difference!**

**A three-way fork in the road.**

**Hmm... seems familiar somehow...**

**Refracted Light Boulevard is a long, winding track, so there's only two laps.**

**With jumps, boost pads, and a lack of barriers, be careful not to fall off!**
I can't believe that it's been so long since the initial release, so it's very exciting that this game will actually soon be completed! Keep an eye out for the update over the next several weeks.

### **Logan Kart 0.9.0**

**December 25th, 2016**

For somewhat late Christmas, I present Logan Kart 0.9.0, the first update in over a year for Logan Kart 8.
**Features include:**
* Three new tracks: The Moon, Construction Zone, and Refracted Light Boulevard.
* You can now play the entire Very Special Cup grand prix.
* Three new karts: The bulldozer, the tractor, and the sporty 'Maserghini'
* One new item: The decently rare 'Golden Shell,' which is basically the golden mushroom mixed with a green shell.
* Kart resetting is significantly faster, and actually puts you facing the right way!
* Every race class is a little bit faster.
* The suspension physics (and physics in general) were tweaked. Whether this is for better or worse is yet to be seen.
* New app icon.
* And bunch of little things added over the course of a year that I can't remember right now.

Expect the final 1.0 release sometime in the next month. This game is so old that its code is too convoluted to add any new major features since I originally created it when I was just learning Unity. If there are any glaring issues, then I would appreciate feedback so I can (attempt to) fix them for 1.0.
I still wouldn't trust the Android version. It's been having problems.
