Retro-inspired kart racer "Super Indie Karts" updated with a bunch of new tracks

This could be such a good game but... The controls are so horrendous. Can't keep on the track at all! Takes all the potential fun away.

These guys should have looked after more to Wacky Wheels ! :woot:

Quoting: GuestNice idea but requiring the user to build from source is an instant turn off for me. Just package it up in one of the universal formats and distribute it properly. I'm not installing anything I have to build myself
Seriously? You never install a software directly from source? I mean, you never have to do it?
Why you refuse to do it, serious question, because it's not really the philosophy of a Linux system IMHO, you can install any software you want from source or from binary, but refuse to do it from source makes me confused.

For CoreCtrl maybe we'll see binary builds later, right now I've got an error after compilation I'll retry later.
I refuse of it too... It's time consuming, stressful and altogether just awful! If i can't have a truly simple way to install something then it's "oh well" and move on. Really.

I don't want to dredge gamergate up again, but I'm not supporting a CEO who was part of that movement
What's that?
If you sincerely don't know, consider yourself lucky! Bit of a depressing story to be honest.
No i don't know, what happened? A gamergate movement? :huh:

Most of their customers or the loudest of their customers?

Also, you really can't enjoy a game/story unless it perfectly conforms to your narrow world-view? That's a bit sad.
According to what the poster can be judged as having a "narrow world-view"? C'mon.

Go Bugbyte!

Possibly they'd create 2 new games instead of 1 with all that money?

What about that much talked about "Navi"? So this is not it at all?

Hmm, i only get "DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine" on launch.

Is there anything to do?
