- Version 0.9.0: online multiplayer & tunnels - 21 March 2024
Hi everyone, We appreciate your patience and are thrilled to finally unveil that we've released the 0.9.0. update, which includes 2 new features: Online multiplayer! This is still very experimental since we didn't have enough players during the closed beta to test it properly. Right now the maximum is set to 12 players, but it could actually be more or less, we just don't know. Please send us your feedback on Discord or on Steam so we can improve this game mode! Tunnels! They can now be placed using the Section Types tool in the Track Editor. Can't wait to see new tracks with tunnels shared online! We haven't updated the official tracks yet. This will come with the next update. This update also includes the usual bug fixes and tweaks here and there. Let us know what you think! Now we know that we haven't been very available to work on Super Pilot since it's in Early Access. Life. We don…

Hi everyone, We've fixed the connection issue preventing players from accessing shared content. Sorry for the inconvenience!
- Online Multiplayer (experimental) - 21 July 2023
Hi everyone, We need your help! We've got a build with online multiplayer working. Please don't get too excited, this is very experimetal and we can't say for sure if it's going to make it into the final game. It's very bare-bones feature wise, but enough to validate the net code and hopefuly to have fun. Right now we set the limit to 12 players in the same race, but actually have no idea what the limit is. The maximum we tested was 4 players. We need more players to test it and send us feedback in order to decide if it's worth spending more time on it. How to switch to the Beta branch? In your Steam library, right click on Super Pilot Select Properties Select Betas Enter superpilotbeta as the access code and hit the Check Code button You should now be able to select the Beta branch in the Beta participation list!

- Version 0.8.1: server migration + minor tweaks - 19 September 2022
Hi everyone, The last 6 months were a bit tedious for Super Pilot. We've been using GameSparks for our online features since the beginning of the project, but after Amazon bought GameSparks, we learned the services we were using would shut down on September 30, 2022. We had no choice but to recode all our online features and migrate all our data to a new platform. It was a lot of work and time not spent on the rest of the game. The good news is that we managed to do it in time, just before the deadline! The 0.8.1 update runs on a new backend. The transition should be seamless and there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. But you never know! Please reach out to us if you notice something strange. We also did some minor tweaks: Renamed "Favorite" to "Like" Playlists tracks can now be Liked directly in the pause menu or at the end of the race Earned Grand Prix Cups will be transfered t…

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Don’t worry though! We’re still fully committed to making Super Pilot the best possible game it can be. Thanks for yo…

- Version 0.6.0: new Championship mode - 15 December 2018
Hi everyone, As promised, we've updated the Early Access version with the new Championship game mode that we named "Grand Prix" as a homage to our beloved F-Zero. The implementation isn't 100% finished, there are a still a few things to polish here and there, and some balancing to do. But since it's already playable we've decided to release it in its early form in order to get some feedback. Grand Prix mode 2 different leagues: ALPHA and BETA 4 different classes: NOVICE, STANDARD, EXPERT and MASTER 1 to 4 local players 48 competitors per race The class in which you race determines the AI difficulty and the number of times you can retry in case you wreck your ship.

- Version 0.5.5: Game Balance and Leaderboard reset - 16 November 2018
Hi all, We just pushed a small patch out to address a few issues. The main goal of this patch is to balance the game and prevent some driving techniques that had become a dominant strategy at the top of the leaderboards and somehow undermined the gameplay. Some of these changes have an impact on the ships individual performances. In order to maintain a level playing field, we also cleared the leaderboards. List of changes Tweaked ships stats Fixed an issue where the drift boost would not get triggered while it should Updated the drift boost charging and triggering rules Updated the way ships are aligned on the starting grid Fixed an issue where in some cases an extra lap would be displayed on the result screen Fixed the good ol' 11st/12nd/13rd issue What's next? The championship mode is being implemented as we speak. It still needs some love, but a first version should be ready in the c…

You can find the full list of fixes below - note that a lot of them are around input issues, so if you've been having weird bugs in the menus, like tabs being impossible to navigate, or the game crashing on you or showing a cryptic message box when pressing a menu button, this one is for you!

- Super Pilot is F-Zero with a level editor and out now in early access - 19 September 2018
Super Pilot is classic Nintendo racer F-Zero (either X or GX is up for debate) with a level editor, and developers Dopagames don’t care to hide that at all. Race around at a thousand miles an hour against dozens of bots, defy gravity, shoot off the track and explode in a cloud of flaming glory, and then build your own tracks to do it again on. The first early access version of Super Pilot flew onto Steam faster than anyone could see yesterday (maybe they TAS’ed it? ), but an older demo build has been lurking around on Itch for a while . Give it a spin, or check out the launch trailer below. (more…)
