Thank you for enjoying Graffiti Racer.
I am Yamamoto, the director of Graffiti Racer.

We are pleased to announce that Graffiti Racer Ver. 2.0 will be released on Thursday, June 15, 2023..

I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who have been patiently waiting for a long time.

Before the version upgrade, I would like to inform you of some requests and contents that will be implemented at the time of the version upgrade.

I apologize for the long text, but I would be grateful if you could bear with me.

■Update Maintenance

We will be conducting maintenance related to the update to Graffiti Racer Ver2.0. We will transition to maintenance mode starting from June 14 (Wed) 11:00 (SGT), and we aim to complete the maintenance work within approximately 24 hours, although there is a possibility of it taking longer. We will keep you updated on the exact release time.

■Actions to be taken during Update Maintenance

[We will reset all the characters you own to a sheet and a color film]

This is necessary due to the new abilities and status. We apologize for having to reset the characters you have created. Please be assured that you can reuse the color film with the new parameters. We will also return RC (Race Coins) corresponding to the character’s level in the Gift Box.

However, for characters that are currently being listed on the market in their character state, they will be changed to sheet-only sales due to the resetting of the sheet.

 

[The abilities of Sheets and Color Films will be modified and changed in part]

This update will make major modifications and changes to the core abilities, as well as add new abilities.
Due to these modifications, the abilities of Sheets and Color Films will be changed.
For Sheets, some abilities may be different from before due to the normalization of abilities.

For Color Films, all abilities will be redrawn.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and kindly request your understanding as we strive to transform Graffiti Racer into the game it was meant to be.

 

[The skills of the sheets will be changed with the skill specification change]

The specifications of skills will be partially changed starting from Ver. 2.0.
Specifically, skills that currently consume stamina when used will no longer consume stamina and can be used at any time after a certain cooling period.

The skills attached to the sheet may be modified according to this change.
In addition, there is a possibility that skills will also be added to the color film from Ver. 2.0.
We hope you will enjoy the new skill set as all skills on the sheet and color film will be available for use when it becomes a character.

 

[We are adding a new way to get scores in the race]

Until now, the calculation was only based on Paint Slime x rankings in each section, but we are increasing the ways to get scores and changing the calculation formula.

The new ways to get scores are as follows:
《Section Time Bonus》
Score will be added according to the time when each section is passed.

《Speed Bonus》
Score will be continuously added while a certain speed is maintained.

《Dash Bonus》
The speed bonus will increase according to the number of dashes.

We have designed it so that you can aim for scores in various forms according to each type of play. We hope you enjoy the new race.

 

[We will cancel all contracts of those who use the substitute run]

In order to correctly modify the sheet data and add new sheet information, we will return all NFTs of Graffiti Racer to the original owners.

For those who are running on substitute, we will return the achievement reward DEP during the maintenance on June 14.

 

[We will reset all Tour Race missions]

Due to the new scoring system in Ver2.0, we are renewing the missions and clear rewards in the form of RC. Therefore, we will reset all the mission clear status of the Tour Race for all users, so that they can obtain new rewards.

We apologize to all those who have enjoyed the Tour Race so far, but we are providing more generous rewards, so we hope you will challenge it again.

 

■Request to all of you for the update maintenance

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by development reasons, but we have some requests that we would like to make for the upcoming update.

[We would like to ask you to set the deadline for new substitute runs to June 12 and refrain from making any new contracts until the completion of the update]

As mentioned in the above ‘actions to be taken during the maintenance’, we will resolve all substitute run contracts during the maintenance. Therefore, in order to improve accuracy as much as possible, we would like to enter the maintenance phase with as few substitute runs as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and kindly ask for your understanding.

 

[We would like you to synchronize your NFTs in Graffiti Racer before maintenance]

In order to make sure your NFT status is up-to-date and correct when we return your character to the sheet and color film during maintenance, please press the “Update NFT Holding Information” button from the “Settings” in Graffiti Racer before the maintenance. We would be grateful if you could cooperate as much as possible.

 

[We would like to ask you to refrain from selling and buying NFTs during the update maintenance]

During maintenance, we will return all NFTs to their original owners and normalize the data.

Therefore, if the ownership of NFTs is transferred during the maintenance period, unexpected malfunctions or abnormal data may occur. In addition, regarding the sale of characters in character state, it will be changed to sale in sheet state, and color film cannot be returned.

Regarding abnormal NFTs, it may lead to malfunctions such as inability to run races or inability to become a character, and it may cause great inconvenience to customers. Therefore, we would be grateful if you could refrain from buying and selling NFTs until the maintenance is completed and Ver2.0 starts.

 

Once again, we apologize for having to make various requests to those of you who are enjoying it. There were many areas that could not be avoided due to the development for the large update to Ver2.0.

 

And the official Graffiti Racer website was renewed today ahead of Ver. 2.0!

You can now see the status of Premium Ranking Races on the homepage as well.
We have made it as easy as possible for you to find out when the race is in session, when the next race will be held, and so on!

We have also added a race calendar page, as it has been difficult for our customers to understand the status of various races.
The Race Calendar page now includes not only the Premium Ranking Races, but also the Regular Ranking Races.
Tapping on each race will also provide information such as the race conditions and the items and obstacles.
The schedule of races until the June update is listed already and we will continue to update it regularly, so we hope you will find it useful!

 

And here is the long-awaited AMA announcement.
We will be holding an AMA for Ver. 2.0 at Twitter space in Japanese and at Discord in English.
We will do our best to answer whatever you want to ask, so please use the form below to submit your questions!

Thursday, June 8, 20:00 –
Twitter Space (JP): Tatsu P., Yamamoto D., Shokotan
Discord (EN): Abby, Rie

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at this event!

As the last part of this article, we will introduce the new SSS characters that will appear from Ver. 2.0!

Thank you for reading until the end.
The development team is currently in the final verification phase and is fine-tuning the main race score related elements.

We would be grateful if you could wait a little longer so that you can enjoy Graffiti Racer even more in Ver2.0.

The Ver2.0 release notes are scheduled to be published in the next Director’s Letter.
It’s planned to be packed with full details of Ver2.0.

Thank you for your continued support for Graffiti Racer.

From the Director of Graffiti Racer, Yamamoto
