The next update will feature the brand new characters Jack & Jill, and a basic traffic system!

By a small margin, Jack & Jill came in the lead on votes

Jack & Jill

Class A Vehicle

Jack and Jill are just two fun-loving kids! Brother and sister, actually. Unlike most siblings, they get along well together (most of the time) and love to go on adventures any chance they get. As long as they’re back home in time for dinner, their parents pretty much let them do anything they want.

While getting slushies at their local convenience store, they saw a poster for The Guts and Glory Games and signed up the same day (there’s no age limits, after all). Now they could go on “the ultimate adventure” and win a ton of money! Great idea, right?

Jack rides a child’s version of the popular Golden Goose brand of bicycles, and generally tows his sister around in a small wagon, connected by rope. They’ve gotten pretty good at doing jumps and stuff, so they're totally ready for this.

The traffic system votes won by a HUGE margin... you guys really seem to love this one

AI Traffic

Simple AI vehicles that travel on a set path / from waypoint-to-waypoint.

This could be used to create traffic patterns the player must drive with/against/across. For example, you could make a ClusterTruck or Frogger type level, or even a make-shift “race.” These could also be used to help bring more life to a level. 

I already have part of this built in very early prototyping stages, but would need to do a lot more work in order to make it ready for use in the Level Editor.  I have a few different approaches to consider here and need to ensure it's done in a well-optimized way.  This will probably be the hardest part to build for the next update, but I can't wait to see what you guys will build with it!
