What's coming next

I'm currently putting the official campaign on hold to work on a track generator. My goal with that is to implement a new game mode; Survival. In Survival you start with a certain amount of time on a decreasing timer. Every time you manage to finish a randomly generated map, an amount of time is added to your timer. The tracks get longer and longer; your goal is to finish the most maps you can before your timer runs out. The track generator will be available in the editor, the seed and track segment count will be displayed in every track you play in survival, so if you find a track you like, you will be able to recreate it in the editor and upload it for others to play. Since Survival won't have individual leaderboards, I'm thinking that pausing will actually pause gameplay in that mode. I'll see if I can get it working for next week!
As always, feel free to tell me what you think in the discord!
