Just wanted to say thanks again to the support generated from here. The game has been greenlit on steam! :)

Thanks for the comments M@yeulC

Chat and player lists are on the to-do list. For the chat I'm currently leaning towards using pre-canned text messages rather than free-form text, but will see how it goes...I've also found that players seem to try to use the horn to communicate, so i might explore that, adding the ability to flash headlights etc.

Hats/badges are currently planned as an identifier for the current fastest etc., rather than something to sell/customise. I do plan on the final version allowing players to at least choose their car, colour and perhaps a choice of horns though...other customisation stuff may follow, but...I'll worry about trying to get the game worth playing first, then how to rinse you all for money later! ;)

Also, there shouldn't really be any difference between the cars at the moment, they should drive exactly the same - the old one is just the first model I used, which I then planned to replace with the 'basic' model. However some players think there's a slight difference (I'm undecided as can't see in the code why they would be different, but there is a 'feeling' there that it's different), which is why both are available at the moment, plus it adds a bit of visual variety.

As for some of the other stuff....well, time will tell! :)

Good work Tkeleth. Shame you aren't there on Saturday but there will hopefully be plenty of other opportunities. Though with setting those sorts of times, I'm relieved you won't be there in case I can't beat you! :)

Stonewall Hill is now the official name for that section, hope you don't mind! I want people to try to take shortcuts, they're there deliberately, I just need to make sure that the balance of risk/reward is right. So I'm contemplating moving that checkpoint forward a touch, but just to make it a bit trickier to hit the checkpoint and make the turn, rather than forcing them the 'right' way. Stonehenge shortcut might need a bit tweaking too, maybe some more rocks and adjusting the checkpoint there.
The other shortcuts (hint - at least 2 others) are hard enough for now I think! Or at least, I normally mess them up...

Kyrottimus - some marvellous names there! :)

Quoting: TkelethBest lap so far? Mine's 1:12.714

That's a pretty good time...it's an amazing time if you're not using shortcuts!

Under 1:20 is a great time if you stick to the road. Under 1:10 is achievable if you can nail the lap whilst chaining together a few shortcuts (without wiping out!)

If you're using keys instead of joypad, well then you've achieved just by getting a lap in! :)

Hmmm, I'm not sure I want to get involved in a platform war...or is that good for votes? ;)

Anyway, with the jump in downloads of the Linux version since this article, I'd be more tempted to put Linux first! There's been over 100 downloads via the itch.io page, and about 75% are for the Linux version. Pretty sure that's mostly down to you lot here, so thank you for that (but don't stop spreading the word!).

PS: Just between me and you....no. But it's just too awesome to let go! :P

Hi,
Thanks a lot for checking out my game, and writing this article.

Also thanks to the readers for the great comments, and the sudden surge in players and greenlight votes that seems to have come from this. All very much appreciated, more than my cheap words can convey.

I'm going to have to stay up late now to catch up though - I was meant to be working on the game for the last two hours, instead I've been playing the game with some of the fine folk lured in by this article! :)

Thanks again, and hope to see some of you racing on Saturday night.

regards,

Ram Steelwood
