Extreme Gear Labs is back! Today we'd like to announce the development of Sonic Riders Regravitified Version 1.1. It's been in the works, and we're happy to share our design goals for the coming update. This is the first Developer Talk we're doing, and we plan to do more in the future.

For those new to RG: Sonic Riders Regravitified is a mod of Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, with improvements and overhauls to the game for both casual and competitive players. We work to optimize the game for multiplayer and bringing all the things people love about the first Riders game without compromising the core identity of the Gravity mechanics. If you loved the original Sonic Riders, you should try out Regravitified!

Our primary goal for the next update is focusing on improving the core game mechanics. Regravitified introduced Boosting, Drifting, Gravity Void (Tornadoes from the first game), and Gravity Burst in Version 1.0. These features added well needed player interaction and options to the game. With Version 1.1, we want to refine these mechanics along with mechanics from the original game. By improving the core gameplay first, we believe RG will become easier to work on and have future updates more quickly.

These are the core areas we want to address:

In future Developer Talks, we plan to dive into more depth with these topics. Feel free to join the discussion in our Discord Server. We hope you look forward to the next update and we'll see you on the track!
