Calendar 2024 - 2025 | Singapore Project & Others

Hello everyone, I hope you are well!

📅 | Calendar

• I will try to make you a sort of calendar of the next additions on the patreon of the new changes or others that will be brought during the year 2024 and 2025.

• First of all a huge thank you to all the people who contribute to the patreon you are really the best, it motivates a lot to hang on to build huge projects without that I do not think I would have continued in modding. It is thanks to you that we have managed to achieve all these projects since the beginning and I will be eternally grateful to you!

🌴 | Singapore Project :

• The Singapore project is a huge project that is very long and very tedious in all aspects. The project is still a good success despite the number of huge leaks that are found in the community.

• I shared above a map of the country, you will find inside the different parts that will be carried out in the coming months.

• In white we have what is currently available v0.04.

• In red we have what is currently in development v0.05.

• In yellow we have the last part that will finalize the project.

• The next "red" part will be the most important in this project it will contain the soul of Singapore, Marina Bay, the F1 circuit ... This part is filled in the first part the airport takes a large space this time there are only roads and highways adding to that the area which is two to three times larger than the first part. And these are just incredible I started to realize the first curve a few weeks ago and with the experience I acquired thanks to this first part, I will be able to do much better. Whether it is the interchanges the number of roads the intersections and a whole lot of other things. Everything will be completely improved!

🏗️ | Optimization :

• With a project like this I am venturing into what has never been done in Assetto Corsa modding. I actually have a lot of experience but also a lot of fear. Optimization is the key to a good project, the part currently available works very well and I am very happy with it, I managed to make everything optimized. However, with this second part I am venturing into the unknown, a gigantic map can have big optimization problems. But I think that my way of modding will work with any size. It would be very complex to explain for those who have no knowledge of modding, but with experience I think that the size has no impact on the optimization depending on the number of details in each small area. A large area optimized everywhere will work regardless of the size. And if this is not the case, I would be obliged to make map versions according to each configuration by removing parts of the map. But that's not the goal.

⏳ | Release dates :

• The first part took about 8 months, but the second won't be as long with the features I learned during development, many things have become very quick to achieve. Same for the very recent update I made on the first part, all this will be done from the start so a lot of time will be saved. However, the area of ​​the second part remains huge so it will take time. I will estimate the release of this second part at about 5-6 months after the publication of this post, it could take less time and maybe 1 additional month, I will keep you informed!

🎉| Other projects :

• I worked a few weeks on a smaller project that will please many of you. This is not a project like Singapore, it's really a little personal thrill that I wanted to do to put a point to a series that I made and that everyone knows... This project will be released before 2025!

• I am also working in the shadows on another project in collaboration with a modder very well known to all, we are not working 100% on it so it will take the time it takes but a second small project will be available in the future.

💠 | Assetto EVO :

• The thing that scares me the most right now is Assetto Evo, a huge fear we know absolutely nothing about modding apart from very futile things and it's very scary. Modding on AC Evo will be very complicated if we take what was available on AC without Custom Shader Patch, I think the mods will not be incredible the features that CSP brings are just too important to work without. But I will do with it however there is something very very very very problematic, if Assetto Evo does not have a way to encrypt or other so that our content is not stolen, I will be forced not to put Singapore on AC Evo. It's sad but I haven't worked hard for a year to see my content stolen / edited or sold on other platforms. I will still share all the Horizon New Gen and others because they do not have great value but Singapore is not a simple project for modding, for other people it is animation, assets, a professional model to resell for several thousand euros on 3d sites.

• We do not know anything about AC Evo I just share my fears because they are important to understand my current situation with modding and the future. There will surely be a tool or other that will avoid all this Kunos is a very good editor and I hope they have thought of this or a modder will do it. Because otherwise many maps will not see the light of day on AC EVO and that would be a shame.
