Hey Liam!

Sorry for the headache with the GIF´s. :S:
I didn´t realize that it´s going to be problematic for all the mobile viewers.
Glad you found a solution!

Quoting: GuestConsidering the insane prices of GPUs right now, I hope the devs have a clear target market in mind, otherwise there might be only a handful of PC customers for this.
We tested on Intel Core i5 and NVIDIA GTX 660 with maximum graphics settings as shown on the screenshots the game runs around 60fps at 1920x1080 resolution.

We will try to get some numbers on GTX 750 Ti aswell.

Quoting: Guest@ThorstenFolkers:

On the engine side of things, it's really nice to see that the editor is under GNU/Linux. I laughed a little at reading that things were "ported" to Windows (as usually they're ported _from_ Windows).
Haha yes, thats a bit unusual I guess! :)
First couple of months the editor was only running on Linux.

Quoting: CyrilBut for the "Splitscreen Online Multiplayer", it means two guys can play on a same local PC with some others Online, right ?
Yes!

Quoting: ShmerlWelcome to GamingOnLinux! Do you plan to release your game on GOG or other DRM-free stores like itch.io? Thanks!

UPDATE: Oh, I see you are using Steam for multiplayer. That's unfortunate, since I'm personally interested in single player experience and I'm only buying in DRM-free stores.
Thanks!
We have a working matchmaking server under linux with clustered game servers. Multiplayer between a Linux machine and a Windows machine is also working fine.

To be honest it is the first time I heard about itch.io
Looking into it right now! :)

Looks very interesting!

Please note that we are a new developer and only two guys working on this game right now.

Hi!
And what about distribution platforms?
Steam-exclusive? Or will there be DRM-free versions?
Hi!

We rely on some Steam matchmaking features for the online Multiplayer and also copy-protection. So a DRM-free version is possible in the future but is not something we are working towards at the moment.

Thanks!

Thorsten

Hi guys,

thanks for the feedback!

DRAG is not in development since 15 years. We were working regular jobs back then and the engine was a private side project. We are working fulltime on this game since 12 and 20 months.

The release date will be March to April depending on what we will have to polish further.
February was probably miscommunication!

There will be a release discount for the first week!

Looking forward racing you guys soon! :)

Thorsten
