Hello Racers!
We know many of you have been wondering about the future of V-Racer Hoverbike, and we have some big news to share!

PC Version – Final Release & Crossplay!
After a long Early Access journey, we’re excited to announce that the PC version of V-Racer Hoverbike will soon transition to a full release! As part of this update, we are adding crossplay with Meta Quest players, bringing more competition and a bigger multiplayer community! (The game is launching on Quest this spring, maybe PSVR2 some day)

New Content Incoming!
We’re not stopping at crossplay—we have exciting new content on the way!
We have even more features in the works that we’ll reveal soon. Stay tuned for updates, and as always, thank you for your support!

Let us know in the comments what you’re most excited about!
See you on the track!

Happy Halloween to all racers!

To celebrate, we've got pumpkin helmets for you! So select your best livery and post a screenshot to the community hub!

Plus for those who are still on the fence, we've got a 20% discount until the end of the weekend :-)

Hello racers,

The wait is over. The MEGA UPDATE is here!!!
And it features everything we've mentioned in previous posts:

- complete rework on the menu system to make it full 3D with finger touch




- a career mode with championships, progression, achievements and unlockables




- new bikes, new suits, new helmets, that you can skin in the livery editor




- new SURVIVOR and NEON RUNNER game modes




- and a gazillion small improvements that bring the game to the level we envisioned when we started

Thank you all for supporting the game since its release in early access! With this update, you will most likely not recognize the game ;-)


With this update, we have reset the leaderboards and XP so that you can experience the game and its progression as it is intended.

Why do we call this a mega update and not a final release? Well, because we still plan to add significant features to further improve replayability, so stay tuned!
(you'll find out what we mean by that in the game itself, on the main menu ;-)

Anyway, time for us to grab a beer and celebrate! Enjoy the game and let us know what you think!

Hello racers,

As the mega update is approaching, here is a sneak peak at the new menu system we added to the game.

We basically removed all the interface that you see in the current public version and reworked it from the ground up, with several objectives.
- make it look better and more polished
- make it more immersive and natural (now it's all 3D, and you control it with your fingers)
- give you more information and context about what you are doing



Check it out in this preview video:

We're getting closer to unveiling the mega update we've been working on for soooo long. The plan is to release it after the summer. If you want to help to translate it to your language, join us on the game's discord channel. We will give you early access to the update so you can try out all the new features, and a link to a google document containing all the game's texts in english, with a column for the translation in your language. German, italian, chinese, spanish, even if you speak martian, we need you! :-)

Hello racers,

We have recently made some subtle adjustments to the bike engine, and we fixed a bug that caused the engines to become slightly faster as you restarted races. To keep things fair, we are resetting all the leaderboards, so that everyone is on the same page and rides with the same bike engines.

It's your chance to get in the top ten, before it gets crowded :-)

Have fun racing!

Hello racers,

We just started alpha testing for a mega-update that will drop this fall.

After adding all those race tracks, we decided to focus on making the whole game more consistent and challenging to play. The update encompasses a lot of areas, but here are a few of the things it will include:
- a completely redesigned menu system with virtual hands and finger touch
- a livery editor that now lets you customize not only your bike, but also your suit and helmet
- a career mode with increasing difficulty across several championships
- all tracks reskinned in "Neon style", available in two new game modes
- improved multiplayer with a spectator mode suited for livecasting and e-sports events
- progression system with unlockables (including bike models, suits, helmets, liveries and more)

We'll give you more details as we get closer to release.
In the mean time, have fun racing!

Hello racers!

Some of you have been asking, so here is telemetry support in V-Racer Hoverbike! To activate it, all you need is a 'telemetry.json' file in the game's installation folder, or in the game's persistant data folder (usually found here: C:/users/username/AppData/LocalLow/VertexBreakers/vracer_hoverbike). the content of this file should be a JSON document as follows:
{
"ip":"127.0.0.1",
"port": 8051,
"refreshRate":20
}

This defines the IP address and port where the data will be sent to, with a refresh rate (20 times per second in the above example). Once you have set this up, you can read the data from a plugin to drive your motion device. The data is also formatted in JSON. Here is an example of the data you can read:
{
"speed": 350,
"accelerationX": 3,
"accelerationY": 1,
"accelerationZ": 10,
"angularSpeedX": 3,
"angularSpeedY": 1,
"angularSpeedZ": 10,
"rotationX": 2,
"rotationY": 5,
"rotationZ": 0,
"paused": false,
"onTrack": true,
"gear": 5,
"rpm": 10000,
"collectPickup": false,
"turbo": true,
"startEngine": false,
"stopEngine": false,
"collision": true,
"collisionAngle": 30
}
As a reference, here is the C# class we use to send that data, with comments explaining each field: http://www.judiva.com/vracer/TelemetryData.cs

Feel free to reach out to us on Discord if you want to discuss telemetry and ask questions.

And by the way, for those participating in the weekly challenge, you can now access the leaderboard directly on your phone in our discord channel by typing !leaderboard.

Have fun racing!

30 RACES MILESTONE!

Hello racers! We've been quiet for a while, but we are happy to announce that we just pushed an update that contains 7 new races, bringing the total to 30! Along with the new Zakhar Frontier track, we've taken the time to make reverse versions of all the HGP tracks.

We only had 4 races when we first launched in early access. We'd like to thank you all for your great support! Now that we have all those races, we can focus on what's coming next. We've teased the Neon tracks a while back, rest assured they are coming: you will get all 30 races in a new game mode with those neon style visuals. We're also looking at the career mode, and a few other surprises for the future.

In the mean time, have fun racing, and thanks again for supporting us!
