Gran Turismo Integrale, a Player-Operated GT7 Custom Career, Launches March 14th

I was at almost 20% of the "old" UFC's career mode, so I will need to restart from the beginning. XD

You won’t have to if you don’t want to, but the progression goals will change and points are no longer tracked.

You could continue from where you are now but with the new progression goals from there onwards to the end of the league and all events from there.

The core event list is much the same and the progression is mostly the same - though some licence requirements have been adjusted so it could potentially cause some issues continuing your playthrough, but it should be pretty workable.

What’s changed primarily beyond some new additional content is just a much quicker time-to-race, where setting up an event is much faster and the progression goals are streamlined for minimal required out-of-game tracking on the player’s end.

For example for one league you might have to finish at least 5th in all races to complete the league.

If you finish, say, at least top 3 in all races in that league, you win the league title.

That’s an optional objective which has no gameplay implications except for if you win the Formula 2/Super Formula/Formula S titles. Then you get a better seat in Formula 1 and Formula X.

Otherwise, the number of title wins for a specific league (carries over across multiple playthroughs if you ever want to) - they are something you can update manually in the accompanying spreadsheet as part of the career accomplishments tab.

I’m getting excited and just wanna share everything lol. Here’s how the general racing stats part of the career achievements tab of the spreadsheet looks like for the Hybrid path. The other paths are very similar, just with fewer and different championships listed which are specific to each path.

I´ll take a look and then decide whether to continue from where I´m now and then follow the new "path" or restart again from the beginning.

Personally I don't mind starting again. It's a buzz, and I didn't track the AI drivers points, so I'll get on that this time round!

Points tracking has been removed for the sake of streamlining things. Now you track your race results as you look to finish within a certain position window in each race in order to complete the league.

I could have left it for the custom play option but some folks may have wanted the custom driver names without having to track points and I didn’t want to make two versions of custom play, I thought it would get a little messy.

Hiya folks, sorry for some disappointing news but I have been extremely busy in the last few days working on a group project (of my choice to actively work on it, but it was a very exciting thing for us so it was hard to not want to work on it) and it has meant I haven't had time to push through on the last big stretch. Combined with my usual productivity issues, I've decided to delay Integrale's release until March 14th. This allows me a little breathing time after the project I've been on, and to ensure the career is fully featured.

To give you an idea of what the major last hurdle is, it's biographies for all custom play drivers (and some real drivers). While they are usually one or two paragraphs at most, I still have 74 to do (many thanks to my friend Mr. Videogames for helping me out and getting a number of them completed as well) and doing all of those at a satisfactory level in one or 36 hours at most will be hell and I don't want to go through that.

It will also give me time to get those untested missions in if possible, but they will be the last thing on the list as I have other things to prioritise in terms of getting the revamp ready, and I would say it might be tentative whether they make it in.

I don't plan on updates after this goes out (by virtue of the document set up and personalisation like edits to track wins and such falling apart as a result, since you'd need to re-do all your edits again), so if I work on the missions beyond the career then I might post them on the forum as a kind of bundle of different events to mix things up with.

The soundtracks are essentially final now, with just one race song being something I'm looking for a replacement for. I'm really happy with the tones of the soundtrack, the vibe they give.

Apologies for the delay. I simply do not want to publish it unless everything is in a completely final state.

Rest assured that March 14th will be the release date, no matter what. I'll make the time I need to and hunker down to get it done.

No worries and everyone can wait a bit longer 👍 - I mean we're used to waiting, it's Gran Turismo after all
