Another pretty big milestone achieved - in-game UI is finished 😊

In the video you can see:
  • In-Game Player List (at the top during gameplay) - this will show the player status, position and other important information. You can enable it during gameplay as well to check how many players are still playing or what is the race position of your friend
  • In-Game Menu with Options. I also included option to change UI scale during gameplay. This feature may be very usable during matches in split-screen or on TV
  • HUD : Lap Number, Position, Time and lap times. There are not weapon and boost indicators yet - they will be added during gameplay finalization
  • Game Summary in form of small window. In this window you can see your time, rewards and other after-race information. Every player in coop have its own frame after the race
  • Split-Screen and HUD layouts (up to 6 players)
  • Spectator mode - this mode should make the rooms always full during online matches. In CTR, if a room has 2-3 players the match will start and you won’t be able to join it - you will create new room where you will wait for other players to start a match. This means there will be 2 rooms with 2-3 players each instead of one room with 6-8 players. In The Karters thanks to the spectator mode If a room has any free slots you will join this room and it doesnt matter that the race is running - you will just need to wait until it ends to play the next one :)
  • You can also see split-screen online support in action (P1,P2 texts on the player list)
As usually, please share your thoughts and ideas what can be improved ;)
From now on I will focus on gameplay - very excited for it!

Suggestions:
Option to show/hide the time elapsed or just hide the time in split-screen mode for players with less than 1/4 of the screen.
Special colors for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places

Good idea about option to hide race time - in split screen I want to make sure that everyone can play on their screen size how they want. In the near future I will also test the Steam Remote play, I believe a lot of improvements will be made then as well :)

Different colors for 1st,2nd and 3rd place good idea as well.

Thanks for feedback!
