SpinTires 1615

Written by Zane Saxton (Oovee staff):

"We have been working hard to secure a partnership, and we are now very pleased to announce that Spintires will be released on consoles such as Xbox One and PS4 in early 2017.

If you’re not a console fan, don’t worry, because this is also good news for PC fans, as it means we will be expanding the development team for that platform as well! It took us some time to finalize this agreement and announce it, but work has already begun, and over the next few months you will hear more news about the progress of the console port and updates for the PC platform.

Thank you very much for your continued support, love, and inspiration."

Writes Yura Ismailov:"Hello everyone, guys - men! I haven't been here for a long time, I came to share some news about the game if anyone is interested:So, as we all know, Pavel is coding (porting) the game to next-generation Consoles, I asked him: how is that possible? After all, no one gave money! And he says he has Different Publishers! specifically for Consoles! Still not exactly clear who, but he says at least - Russians. yeah...But I said: how will the game do on consoles? what will be new?He says nothing Global but: new trucks, maps, modes, improvements in graphics/physics/controls ...Well, I asked: what about PC, how about it? different publisher - different rules. He replied that it’s not clear yet if this same content will be on PC!!! yeah :))At the moment he is working hard on porting the game.And what will you say about Gusli? - not planned yet! the official statement about the port says that all this will last until 2017 PC is unclear, there will be no Gusli on consoles, PC + Console = more time to do something, or the game will simply cease to exist and they will start a New project - money for which Pavel will scrape together from Consoles...What do you say?"

Pavel Zagrebelny (the lead developer of SpinTires) shared a screenshot of the new 3D model of the UAZ and its addons.
This gives confidence that the game's development has not been stopped. We are waiting for the next update.

Naughty Dog knows about Spin Tires! 😊;
By the way, water will be significantly improved in the new release!

DT-75. Developed by Alexander Burov.
New information has come from the game developers. The game's development is ongoing. Over the past six months, the game has changed a lot, mainly in terms of graphics. The next six months will be dedicated to something new, beyond graphics, which we will all learn about closer to the New Year.
In the meantime, stay tuned for news. There may be several more different screenshots and lists of changes within the week.
On behalf of the site administration and the developers—thank you to everyone who believes in the game! It is alive, it lives, and it will live! The game will develop in small steps as long as you support it with your word.

Default value: 0, maximum 255, 0 disables the feature, values in the last 18 numbers are practically meaningless due to additional engine limitations.

The administration of STMods.ru has prepared a small surprise for you.
We are tired of seeing questions like "how to configure SpinTires Plus?". Even when we posted a translated instruction on configuring SpinTires Plus, there were comments like "still nothing is clear!".

We worked a bit for you! Meet the SpinTires Plus Configurator

Configure SpinTires Plus simply by checking/unchecking boxes (or entering values) next to the necessary items. As a result, the configurator outputs the SpintiresPlus_config.xml file with all the settings. Don’t forget to copy the resulting file into the game folder :)

At the moment, not all options are implemented, only the most necessary ones. We would be glad to hear your feedback and suggestions about this service.

As far as we know, this is the only service in the Russian internet segment, and possibly on the entire internet. If we are mistaken – please correct us.

Pavel Zagrebelny (SpinTires developer) told us a little about the future of Spintires.
At the moment, Pavel is working on porting the game to PS4 and Xbox One consoles. Right now, he is porting the game to PS4, and the game is already running at 60 FPS on the console.
On consoles, the game will differ significantly from the PC version in terms of improvements and updates. There will also be no mod support on consoles, but Pavel will take the most interesting and appropriate mods (with the authors' permission) and add them to the game. Pavel also assures that in the future all developments will, one way or another, make their way to PC. And then there will definitely be a release with tracks, and everything will go according to plan (snow, cockpit view, gameplay, etc.). Basically, the plans remain the same as they were.
Pavel did not comment on Oovee, and people quite understand that the company is no longer involved in the development of the PC game.
The console release is scheduled for around early 2017.
Also, here is a screenshot from the developer as a teaser!
