Heat: Pedal to the Metal + Heat: Heavy Rain

Description
Heat: pedal to the metal is one of those games that is easy enough to start and not easy to quit

In the board game "Heat: pedal to the metal" you will be waiting for speed, speed and once again speed! Transport yourself to the world of motorsport in the 60's, get behind the wheel of your own car and become the hero of all race tracks! But remember that "throttle to the floor" is not the only strategy to follow: will there be enough rubber for one more skid? Will the overheated engine fail at the worst possible moment? And will you have enough qualification?

In the game you will have access to 4 different tracks on two double-sided playing fields: "USA", "France", "Great Britain" and "Italy". And each of them will present you with its own challenges!

Mechanics

You will drive your car at speed, which you will get by totalling up your played speed cards, but you won't be able to go very fast with turns

Turns are another cool mechanic, if your speed is too high, for example 13, and the turn you took is 4, you didn't pass it and crashed at its line, even if you still have speed left.

The mechanics of the game very well reflect the real racing, you change gear, and play cards equal to your gear, the problem is that to change gear immediately to the 4th will not work because for a turn you can go up by 1 or 2, but spending at the same time overheating maps from the engine, and they are not infinite! (6 pcs without modules)

Slipstream, this is one of the stages that you can pass if you stand behind or next to another car, you can overtake it 2 squares ahead, without adding to your speed.

Replayability

The game has a huge amount of replayability! To start with, with the standard game you get modules:
  • Weather (allows you to change existing maps, reduce turn or add +2 to slipstream)
  • Garage (additional upgrade cards that you will choose at the beginning, building a car for your needs).
  • Legends (bots, just adds bots)
  • Championship System
Not a small number of modules and so raises the reigrability, but they can also be mixed! (except for the Championship System)

I should also say that fans make custom maps for the game, they are also on the table and you can try them!

Build

Weight of the build: Textures 40 MB + Community Maps 27 MB + Rules 20 MB

I compressed the textures as much as I could so it doesn't affect the quality too much

The assembly has scripts that will help you quickly lay out the map.
Scripts for you count the amount when you ride, automatically play stress and upgrades with stress

All maps seamless as far as I could do it

Almost all cards that need translation, translate and translation can be seen in the card description

Each tablet has a description with each stage, very helpful, for beginners

Cars

Cars have been created which can change colour, numbers, and they are better visible on the field. But if that's not enough for you, you can light them up next to the cars.

Comparison

And now the most interesting thing, for the sake of which everything was started, is a comparison of my build and https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911921628 build sHellfish

Pluses
The most important thing I wanted was to make semi-automatic tablets, as sHellfish has sHellfish they don't stress and stress on upgrades, you had to poke several times on the button and it also timed out and it really pissed me off.

Now the traffic lights when everyone is ready say it's time to go, and when everyone is done they say a new round has started

Map selection: map selection in sHellfish was automatic from 4 standard maps, but custom maps had to be put manually, I just have to put the selected map and replace (yes there are maps that overlap tablets, will be fixed in the next update).

All cards that required translation into English got it, in the card description

Normally made championship table, with automatic final points counter, don't know why sHellfish didn't apply Make Anything Editable [v2]

Seamless maps

Low weight, my build weighs about 90 MB, and sHellfish weighs over 350 MB!!!, which amazes me, and that's not counting the community maps, and with them the build weighs about 1.5 GB!.

Minuses
Well, that was fun enough, and with the latest update, my table build has no downside compared to sHellfish's build. Thanks to all those who have helped along the way. Of course that's not all and I still have ideas and cards that I really want to add to my build!

very soon....

Joining the comment, is it possible to add Tunnel Vision?

I saw that tracks/cards are available as separate mod.
Duzera 5 Jul @ 6:32am 
Can you please add the Tunnel Vision Expansion?

great mod thanks for sharing

As well as additional custom tracks from comunity at BGG: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3427769753&searchtext=Heat
Also, there is a small glitch: when you use stress, or boost, and all card of the deck in aplicable to the boost effect, the discard auto reshuffles into a deck, which shouldn't happen. Discard should only be reshuffled, when player MUST draw or interact with an empty deck.

Draft of cards is done automatically on the upgrade board, you can see it here link. But who will be the first to take the cards, etc. according to the rules you do manually.
for now.

The draft for the upgrades. Where 2 cards more then the number of players come out and everyone picks one and the rest get discarded and happens 2 more times

Попробуй нажать ЛКМ примерно вот в эту область [disk.yandex.ru], ведь если у тебя есть UI Этого меню значит у тебя есть обьект под ним (он привязян к ниму)

Can't find this Quick Start panel here [disk.yandex.ru]. Maybe it didn't load either?

What do you mean by “draft”?
When are the cards unfolded on the tablets?
