[0.9.9.5] - 2026-08-21

Added

• A position hint overlay, that gives the player a general idea of where to run based on their running style. This is turned off by default and can be enabled under Options -> Race & Simulation -> Show position hints when taking the reins

Improved

• Horses get stuck behind slower horses less often. Based on tests, these incidents fell about 95%
• AI-controlled horses run out of stamina much less often
• AI-controlled horses start moving aside earlier to avoid slower traffic
• Balanced running styles so that AI-controlled horses are now much more even at all distances. Picking the "right" running style for a certain distance is now much less of a win condition. NOTE: Tested in laboratory conditions with a perfectly equal field. Your mileage may vary
• In home screen added more stuff the assistant manager/intern warns about
• In race settings you can now turn off the mode that when you are taking reins it replaces the jockey with your character
• In horse details, highlight the quick actions like auto training etc. so it's clearer what is pressed and what is not
• In standings for racecourse also have a track record table
• Crime is now based on the relationship with staff, staff with good relationship with you wont steal
• Improvements to pedigree tree, where you can also choose what is visible on the cards
• Changed how betting works in the background a bit to make it more efficient
• In market there is also now a shelter tab where you can quick buy horses in the shelter
• Extended demo playtime from a month to a year

Fixed

• Some scaling issues for extremely big worlds (150K horses)
• A bug that caused the player's target speed to jump to 100% under certain conditions during a race
• A bug that sometimes caused a healthy horse to slow down to a crawl
• If the user had race day on same day as horse got sick, they would get a withdrawn email even if there was a possibility for the horse to race
• Retired horses was counted in the eligible horses that the assistant manager told
• Player got toasts for emails that they did not do decisions for (when jockey)
• Removed unused mood column
• Buying horses from horse shelter should work a bit better
