Download 0.3.5 Roadmap
What we are building, what we are still checking and what the game does not allow. There are no dates here, only the version a feature is planned for. This page is kept up to date as work goes on.
Last updated · Current version 0.3.5
A career that lasts: milestones, long-term goals and a hall of fame, challenge levels with an iron mode, and drivers with a story. Plus a round of fixes and wishes from your feedback: closer fields, opponents in different liveries and tidier pages.
The regular drivers earn traits from what happens in your races, like a rain specialist after strong races in the wet or a slump after a run of weak cups. Rivalries grow from a duel into a feud and into the one that defines your career, and the press remembers what you said before. On track they still race with the game's own AI.
Opponents now drive the eligible cars that are closest to your own car in pace, measured in the game for every car. In a slow car you race the slow cars of a cup, in a fast one the fast ones, so nobody gets lapped in a short race. You can still enter any eligible car.
Community wishThe regular drivers no longer all drive the same factory colour. Each driver gets a livery of their own for a model, so three identical cars in one race become rare. Models that come with a single livery in the game look the same.
Community wishEvery week one fixed challenge, the same for everyone: same circuit, same car, same conditions. You race the times of 15 drivers from the paddock, as often as you like. A medal brings a small prize and reputation, a skipped week only pauses your streak, and every fourth week with a medal pays double. It runs on your own PC, without online leaderboards.
A Basic career for players who just want to race: licences, cups, prize money, dealers and your garage. Teams, sponsors, press, the driver market and the gala are switched off. You pick it when you start a career and can switch between Basic and Full in the settings whenever no cup is running. Together with the short season option it makes for quick evenings.
Community wishYour driver file keeps the special moments of your career: your first pole, your first win in the rain, your hundredth start, a win from tenth on the grid. Careers you have already started get their milestones too.
Pick three long-term goals, such as a title in every licence or making your team the best in the paddock, and see them judged in your yearbook. After the Pro title new goals keep you going. When you retire, a hall of fame looks back on your whole career, and a new career can start with one car from your old garage.
Bookmark up to five cars at the dealer and see what you are still short of. Open the title fight chart from the running cup, with your gap after every round. Get a report card with a grade when you move up a licence. And switch to a short season with about half the rounds per cup.
Pick the licence level at the top of the Racing page, just like on the Licences page. Rounds, starters, entry fee and prize money move next to the calendar, and the page looks calmer.
Community wishPress questions, invitations, team offers and contracts now arrive in the Paddock, so the Racing page shows races only.
Community wishTime trials and the weekly challenge move from the Racing page to the Licences page, right below the tests.
Community wishBrands with more than four models get arrows left and right of the car pictures. The pictures stay in the same place for every brand, so nothing jumps when you click through the brands.
Community wishBefore a cup you can make it harder on purpose: stronger opponents, full damage, a start from the back, more rain or a double entry fee. The harder you choose, the more prize money and reputation you earn, and a trophy won that way carries a plaque. For the bravest there is an iron mode, chosen when you start a career: every race you start counts, repairs cost the full amount and running out of money ends the career.
When a team or a season sponsor signs you, choose what you promise: a safe target, a normal one or an ambitious one with a bigger bonus. Keep your word and they trust you more, break it and the relationship cools step by step. Teams that think well of you offer contracts over two or three cups with a season bonus, and you can leave a team contract early for a fee.
If the game starts without Vita Corsa because the Steam launch option is missing or broken, you are told what to fix. A new start menu entry collects the log files for a bug report, with your user name removed.
A cup now lists all its eligible cars instead of the first four, and the list is no longer cut off.
Community wishEvery car in every save now keeps its own paint. Before, all cars of one model shared the paint chosen last, across all saves.
Community wishOpening and closing the pause menu during a licence test or time trial no longer cancels the attempt. The clock keeps running and your time counts.
Community wishThe cup filter at the dealer could show a cup from the optional extra content although it was switched off.
Community wishIdeas we like. Some still need a check in the game, others are waiting for their turn.
See how the championship would look if the race ended now.
Mandatory pit stops and endurance cups.
TV-style shots at the start and on the winner after the finish.
Vita Corsa in Italian as a third language next to English and German. We are checking whether it fits and in which version. More languages follow if players ask for them.
Community wishMod cars with several specs, workshop and paint for mod cars, and mod cars as AI over a whole race. We check this again after the next game update.
Community wishActivities and drives between events. When the game's free roam mode arrives we first see what it allows, then bring it in a small follow-up update.
The briefing shows a chance of rain instead of a fixed forecast. First we check whether the weather can change during a race.
Two classes in one field, for example GT3 and GT4, each with its own results. First we check whether the game takes mixed fields.
Every new season brings new special rules and calendars for some cups, and the teams' strength shifts with their results. At the awards evening you vote on one change for the next season.
What the game does not allow today, and what we leave out on purpose.
In offline races the game does not hand out penalties for cutting the track, it only cancels the lap time. Without penalties from the game there is nothing fair to score, so this stays out.
How AI cars fight for position is decided inside the game, and mods cannot change it. We will look again when the game's new AI arrives.
Community wishThe game has no podium scene to use. Vita Corsa shows its own trophy and title scenes instead.
The game has no circuit logos to show, and we do not copy them. Vita Corsa uses its own circuit signs instead.
Mods do not run while a replay plays.
Vita Corsa keeps its own money and garage, so your online profile is never touched.
Not planned for now: Vita Corsa stays a racing career.
