#8: So can I play VS without FB or Google account? On iOS here, and have an Apple Game Center account that works with MSM2, can I use that? I know it’s only on Android now, but asking in regards to the final release.
There will be a bunch of login options. You must log in to play VS or Events. Logging in also saves all your data in case you get a new phone or have to reinstall or something like that.

iOS:
-Facebook
-GameCenter
-Sign In With Apple

Android
-Facebook
-Google Play Games
-I think some other Google thing kinda like Sign In With Apple but for Android?

@Joe_Turborilla

Been playing this for a couple weeks now. Loving it so far. Great quarantine fun.

I'm actually stuck on Zone 5 "Into The Cracks" You need to get less than 10 seconds of air in 2 laps, I can't even get close to 10 in one lap.....AND do a "backflip to frontflip to backflip" no clue how to do that, I've tried everything. I have literally beat everything else but this just seems impossible, looking for help lol. Maybe that's the point of this level like you mentioned above.

The airtime thing has been fixed for the next version that will come out. It has been changed to "Get less than 19 seconds or total airtime". The back-to-back flip challenges are still broken. They will be fixed sometime before the game is released globally.

Don't worry, you're not bad! Some parts are just a bit broken still Smile

If you want to be the very fastest then yes. It still helps you as much as it does in MSM2.

I dig the sand, especially from a track designer standpoint. Opens up more lines. I'm currently making an SX style track with a little sand section. It's going to be a 5 lapper "endurance" event this Friday.

You are right the 10 seconds or less airtime time is impossible. I Tried rolling everything and still had about 9 seconds of airtime, but I was about a minute off the leader. This is the only thing I haven't completed.

I was able to get the backflip to front flip to backflip but it wasn't easy. You basically can't fully land each flip, but kind of bounce off one tire into the next flip.

As Joe said, these look to be glitches.

OK, I was wondering! I was getting through everything with a bit of a struggle (which is good, you don't want it easy) then I hit this epic roadblock.

Keep it up Joe, love the game.

Ohhh so you can land but very briefly. I thought I had it once but I was so far behind by the time I landed it, it didn't count (wasn't in top 3)

Tried it out for half an hour.

Super impressed by far. If the kinks get sorted I will sink another crapload of hours in to this game for sure.
Physics and gameplay feels great. It feels MSM2, but refined and prettier. I have a few issues so far, but its surely only because its so early.

Account page? I cant seem to change anything about my profile picture or account in general.

Friends list? I cant seem to find a place to add or challenge my friends. This was where I spend most of my time in MSM2, playing against my friends. The "Versus" button takes me straight in to random matchmaking. Would be nice to have the option to choose random or vs a friend.

Just having three color options for the bike and rider out of the box is a bit on the cheap side. And its often not even the same color. Its either puke green, dirty white or blue/red (which means you cant use either unless you want a multi-colored bike). Having just a selection of the basic colors, like in MSM2, is fair.

Selling back old parts? This isnt much of a problem now but if all parts stay in your garage it will be incredibly cluttered after a while. Just beeing able to sell or delete old parts would be nice.

Performance in menus seems a little wonky? Very frequent lag and stuttering and even freezes happening all over the place. I know this is early but its still there and very frequent. I´m on a snapdragon 845 with 4gb ram so not the highest performing phone but still decent.

I´m really looking forward to this process and to play the heck out of another awesome game.

Keep up the good work

Recorded a few minutes of gameplay. I hope this is ok with the developer.

I dont claim to be "good" at the game but I think I´m slightly better than the person in the other video Smile

It is soft-launched on Android in Canada and the Philipines at the moment. Full version won't be released until later. We should have a new beta available later this week. Once it is I'll post it up on this thread for anybody who wants to try it.

Most of the things you mention will be in the game once it releases globally.

The account page and user page are coming. A ton of stats and a trophy case, etc.

I don't think we have plans for a friend list, but we are adding teams. So the idea is you join a team with your friends and then you will have a team chat and team LBs, etc.

We are adding a way to send friendly VS matches that are unranked. That will be coming in a later version.

I'll pass your feedback about the colors to the team. The idea is the good colors must be unlocked by playing or finding in the shop. If you play through the game you'll unlock good colors for free. In the end, there are maybe like 15 colors.

You probably won't want to sell old parts because we will have some races that require you to use certain tiers. So maybe a T4 event where your bike has to have all T4 parts.

Performance is still being worked on. Usually one of the last things to get finished before release. It is a bit laggy and slow in spots but the team is aware.

Thanks for the feedback. It is very helpful! I'll pass it on.

@Ray_mxs not sure if you noticed but you can change colors of the bike in the garage. You don't have to keep the default part color. Just hit the design button in the garage and you can make the bike all the same color.

I did see that but if I wanted all parts of the bike to be the same color I only had green or beige to choose from.

I don't expect all colors to be there from the start, but maybe just a few would nice. Like a basic set of a few colors other than green and beige. It's a small thing and I expect to unlock colors as I play more so it's just a nitpick.

Good work

Everybody knows the answer to that.

Soon™

But for real. Shooting for a summer release. More details coming soon.

Been playing it for about a week, and it's great. The sand sections really make it interesting.

The only negative I have (besides the glitches, which aren't all ironed out due to it still being in beta), would be the performance. Maybe adding a "Quality Mode", like some games have. For some of us with older or not so powerful phones (mine is free from work, so I don't really get a say in what I get), I would gladly take a lower quality graphic for smoother gameplay.

Everything else is looking great, keep up the great work Joe, and the rest of the team !

Thanks for that! Keep them coming 👍

Im having a hard time getting over the background graphics, they look like something out of a Road Runner cartoon.

From the sounds of it, i may be in a bit of trouble, as i have to use auto throttle because of arthritis in my thumb. I hope that is still an option in the new game.

As stated earlier in the thread, the amount of hours i put into MSM2 is down right embarrassing, especially in this lockdown era, but i love it. Cool

I barely look at the backgrounds to be honest but I can see what you mean Laughing .

I can agree with you on the amount of hours. And still barely reaches top 2000 every week on jam lol.

And yes, Auto throttle is still an option.

Here's another one for ya:

I'm at 70/128 so I've logged some hours on 2. I'm excited for 3 but what's up with the head angle on the bikes? Way too kicked out.

Wow. Finally a motocross game that doesn’t sound like chainsaws! Looks great ! Can’t wait for you to take my money.

Hey, I'm one of the Game Designers for MSM3. You cannot change the angle. This does take some getting used to but after a while, most of our tester prefer it as you can see more of the upcoming track. We also switched to all 3D models which is part of the reason for the change.

honestly all im askng for is no janky goon bs like the bike models.

Unrelated but I was thinking back to all old moto games I owned throughout the years. When Ricky Carmichael’s 2001 motocross game popped into my memory. I remember loving that game at the time, however watching YouTube clips of the game being played OMG the physics in that game were actually laughable. Someone please convince someone to make Lucas oil motocross series ! With Supercross 3 being a way better game then the previous 2. If we had the Lucas game my life would be complete

One of the cool features is the floating control buttons. You can move them around the screen to wherever they're most comfortable for you. Compared to only being able to flip sides now
