Bloody Rally Simulator has went a long way in terms of graphics and UI, and it will keep pacing further, until every bit will be redone, with highest attention to detail.

I am no longer alone in this quest - BRS has a dedicated graphics artist, UI / UX designer and an extensive professional soundtrack (there will be OST available when game is released). I could have never gotten that far on my own.

There are so many updates since last announcement, that there is no point to post a change list. Just letting you know, the game is getting stronger than ever, and when graphics are redone, focus will be back again on gameplay.

Cheers, and Happy X-mas!

Fellow Racers,

After long consideration, I have decided that Bloody Rally Simulator will not be released to Early Access.

Closed Beta testing produced more feedback and ideas than I ever expected, I am going to take more focused development approach, which should result with a much more polished game that you all will be able to enjoy without the bugs and shortcomings that Early Access titles occasionally suffer from.

The scope has grown up, and the final game will have much more to offer. I am sure it will be worth the wait!

For now, there will be no release date, but I am hoping that the game will be out some time in 2019. But I will work on it for as long as it takes.

Great news. This feature was planned to be added after Early Access launch, but apparently, it's here already!

Starting with version 0.7.20, it will be possible to upload custom tracks from Track Editor, and subscribed tracks will be downloaded automatically, so you can play them in Quick Race, or iterate the design further in Track Editor.

• To upload tracks, in Track Editor click File -> Upload To Workshop;
  
• In race selection view, click Get More Tracks to visit Workshop;
  
• Subscribe the tracks you like;
  
• Subscribed tracks will appear in Quick Race and Track Editor track listings.

Enjoy!
