Почему ранний доступ?

«When I launch NEODRIVE 1.0, I want to be confident that it presents a worthwhile, accessible difficulty curve for all skill levels, while still giving speedrunners and car sickos something to chew on at the highest difficulty stage. To that end, I will be iterating on track design and tuning difficulty with the help of the community.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Six months, based on my current pace of track creation and its rate of acceleration as my internal tooling improves. I will spend most of that time finishing the campaign level set. Any remaining time will be spent implementing community feature requests.

Updated 9/20/2026: I am ahead of schedule and currently plan to release NEODRIVE by the end of 2026.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Some of the current tracks may have their layouts tweaked, or be in different difficulty stages based on the community feedback.
I am also planning to add more to the current pool of car wheels, liveries, and achievements.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The 64-track campaign is complete. In a few of the tracks, the scenery and layouts are outdated and will be improved before the full launch.
The physical handling model is feature-complete to allow people to master it. Going forward, it will only receive small tweaks and bugfixes to homogenize the driving experience across transitional states like landing a jump, crossing different terrains, and starting and ending drifts and hydroplanes.
NEODRIVE currently contains integrated Steam global/friends leaderboards with the ability to watch and race your and other players' ghosts, a photo mode, customizable wheels, tow hook charms, liveries, a full replay viewer, and an original drum and bass soundtrack.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«I plan to slightly increase the price during Early Access as I add more features and content. By the end of Early Access, the price will not change for the full launch.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Whether a player is a seasoned racing sim veteran or someone who’s never touched a clutch pedal before, I want their feedback on difficulty and level design. I want to make NEODRIVE an accessible arcade experience across all skill levels. As I build out the campaign, I will be collecting user feedback via Discord, Steam community discussions, and in-game feedback buttons.

I will be regularly posting updates with detailed release notes and taking the comments on those into account.

I’ll be looking for feedback on user interface, accessibility extras, quality-of-life, or other features that would further improve NEODRIVE before launch. If there’s time left in the Early Access window, I would also like to implement features by popular request.»
