Why Early Access?

“I chose to launch my game in Early Access to share my work with you, to continue development with your support and feedback, and to improve and add new game modes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's difficult to give an exact answer, but it will likely take at least 12 months before we can consider the game a "final version." Even then, development will probably continue for years, as the game's potential is infinite.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Although the current version has been tested and is functional and stable, there may still be bugs or unforeseen issues. I aim for the final version to be bug-free, with all basic game modes validated and functional, including a proper multiplayer mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the Early Access version is well-developed and playable. The goal is for you to experience the arcade driving physics and various game modes. You can create your own tracks with the editor, propose your own tournaments, and participate in tournaments organized by other players. Everything is recorded on a server to track leaderboards. You will need to complete challenges with each car to unlock them. The user interface is very basic and focuses on essentials; it can be navigated with a mouse and controller. You can drive using a keyboard, but a controller is recommended. The level editor is operated using only a mouse and keyboard.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price is likely to increase as development reaches certain milestones.”
