If you're referring to the Pink Floyd album, "obscure" ain't the word you're looking for. It's one of the most well known and most highly regarded albums of all times. :wub:
Game looks cool as well, great trailer!

Game installed fine with both the itch.io client and the binary from indiedb.
Logitech F710 gamepad only works in Xinput mode, not in Dinput mode. Can't rebind keys.
Switching to Fullscreen disables my secondary monitor, and switching back to windowed mode crashes the game.
Siduction (Debian sid based), KDE Plasma 5.20.5, AMD RX6900XT Mesa git 21.1
The game needs separate volume controls for music and sound etc. The default volume is very loud and the menu sound effect 'beep' sounds distorted. Engine noise is way too loud.
Would be nice to have some camera controls in-game, I really don't like the rigidness of the current top view camera. Let the car slide a bit before following. Maybe a chase cam mode or add a few view angles.
From playing just one track over three laps I spotted quite a few bugs, like when resetting your car.
Sometimes the car spawns over holes in the track so you immediately auto-reset again, or spawns under/on top of other cars, or the wheels sinks into the track so you can't move and have to reset again and again. You also reset for seemingly no reason by just touching certain railings or when sliding over them.
Cheers!

Quoting: poisond*sigh* no, it's not about maturity, it's about profit.Not sure what you are sighing about since we are in complete agreement, you even quoted me about profitability. :wink:

Not to be dismissive but... every previous attempt at this exact thing has failed, utterly. Perhaps this time the tech is mature enough to make it viable? :unsure:
The biggest issue with this concept is that big OEM's don't see this as profitable. Letting consumers repair their own devices conflicts with the endless pursuit of making us buy new devices, so they will not jump onboard, meaning the concept is doomed to be small scale and thus quite costly for the consumer.
Those who have tried something similar have been burned bad or even killed.
Also, expensive means tiny market in normal times, and launching now? During the current global pandemic that's only getting worse every day? With electronics in desperately short supply in every industry? Hmm. :neutral:
I really like the idea of a DIY kit, that would make an awesome gift to a tech hungry kid.
Fingers crossed this isn't vaporware or pipe dreams...

I saw these "I saw this coming a mile away" comments coming a mile away, and I don't even use imperial units.

Quoting: wvstolzingI eventually built libglfw3 from source; but the build for 'RE' still fails.FWIW, it built fine on Siduction, a Debian sid based distro.
... I also confess, that I'm not confident enough to mix stable & non-stable repos on Debian. I use backports & flatpak & appimages & source builds when I need something new.

Quoting: wvstolzingIt requires libglfw3 3.3 min.; while Debian (which I'm currently using, after random nvidia-related f*ckups with Arch that I got fed up with) still has 3.2.1 as of now.Or... grab libglfw3 3.3.2-1 from testing. 3.3 has been available in Debian repos since July 2019. :)
