Apparently Load Inc is working overtime lately. Hot on the heels of the release of the Bravo Pack for Mad Tracks and their announcement of their upcoming game ToW (that's gotta be an acronym, right?) comes some more fuel for the lobby fire. Load Inc is trying to find a "viable solution" to the lobby problem. Is that a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel?
Full statement after the break.
A user with the gamertag "Quiddlebach" asked:
I just wondered if you and your team had any further thoughts on the lobby based on the feedback left since you kind of announced that the introduction of a lobby would be unlikely.
Denis Bourdain of Load Inc responded with:
We added your question to last week production meeting and we decided to add ressources [sic] to this issue: there is one coder trying to think outside the box to find a viable solution.
So far, he didn't surprise us but who knows? I promise he'll get the 'employee of the month' honor (which has been awarded to ME the past consecutive 34 months) when he finds a fix .
Again, sorry for not bringing the good news
Could this be a glimmer of hope? Kinda. Could they actual fix an issue that is holding back many people's enthusiasm for getting their race on? Maybe. Only time (and one poor sap of a developer) will tell what joys may await us in minature racing future.

Theres some fun new game types in the Bravo pack. 'White Soccer' is excellent. The Encore pack was good but the Bravo beats it by some way. I seem to remember some rumour of a possible further download at some point. If they could release the lobby patch at the same time that'd be cool. It's way too disruptive having to find people to play with every 3 or 4 minutes.
BTW - is there any news on what type of car game ToW is? Based on the quality of Mad Tracks I'll definitely be looking out for it.
