The future of PiBoSo and GPbikes

[Yohji]

Hello everyone, it's been a while.

I haven't been online, but I've been running solo from time to time.

Now, what I want to talk about this time is the update for this game. The last update was in January of this year. And it's been 12 years since the release of the first BETA, BETA1. I believe there have been discussions in this forum about when the game will finally be completed and its target release date, but I don't recall ever seeing a clear answer.

There's also TDR, which was released as if to compete with it (I've played it as well, but, like RIDE, I didn't get the feeling of actually riding a motorcycle, and I couldn't get into it).

And now, RIDE has already released its fifth version. But, of course, that's a big developer, whereas PiBoSo is more like a privateer. I understand that.

However, I also feel like this community has lost some of its energy. Many other users may have left as well. Is there more activity on Discord?

One of the key improvements I'm hoping for in this game is the correction of the strange behavior caused by elevation changes. This also appears in corners with strong banking.

Fixing this would allow us to enjoy a wider variety of tracks. I want to be able to run through sections like the Corkscrew and Eau Rouge smoothly.

What do you all think?

There is a lot more activity on the Discord server.

And there is an update coming (not sure when though) which should help modders get more stability out of the bikes.

Thank you for your reply.

It sounds like going to Discord is the way to go when I want to play multiplayer. Are there more of the latest mods there as well...?

I hope the update comes soon

[matty0l215]

Yes there are various servers with mods on and most get uploaded to https://gpb-mods.com/ as well

Interesting. I have recently been reducing discord groups due to it's god-awful social-media fomo effect.

With poor management they become feral quickly.

But it's where all the latest development is and for quick communication it's far better than forums

Oh and these poxy spam accounts can do one.
