Hey all, Testing is going well and everything is finally falling into place for the version 1 release next week. While I didn't hit the August date I was hoping for, in these extra few weeks I was able to finalise the new vehicles and revamp all of the interiors, as well as make
Hey all, It's been a busy few weeks - development is going well, and I wanted to share some of the progress along with an update on release targets. I'm on schedule to finish core development by the end of the month, though sadly can't confirm everything will be ready for release
Hey all, The next location - a coastal road inspired by California's Pacific Coast Highway - is nearly finished, and release is looking set for August. I'll detail the roadmap for release at the end of the post - first, a preview of the new scenery and vehicles. New Location: Pac

Hey all, January has been a little quiet but I've been back at it this week, reworking the ground shader for the Hills location to bring more colour variation and detail. As part of this I've also tweaked the colours for all seasons/weathers, and altered a number of textures to i
This year's Driftmas event is now live! Driftmas is the annual winter rally event, set on an extra-slippery track and with a live leaderboard. This year it's set in a new mountainous location, with a modified vehicle and a handful of experimental features that will soon be added
Hey all, I've spent the past few months rewriting the vehicle architecture from scratch, both to massively improve the physics (especially for the bike) but also in preparation for the Steam-exclusive features like customisation and manual transmissions. While there aren't any ne
