Hello space travelers!
A couple of weeks ago we announced that we are going to be adding quite a bit of content to the Space Boat demo for this coming Holiday season. One of those additions is a whole new game mode that we call “Final Boarding Call Racing” and we figured we’d give you some deets on it.
The first leg of the race will take place in the Jelly Shore sewers. Since Space Boat is always colorful and vibrant, the sewers presented a bit of a challenge for us. We figured there’s a whole rainbow of color in grease stains and radioactive sauces, so we went in that direction.
Some of you might have noticed that we added a Lenny’s sign on the exterior of the new I.G.C.L. Princess Andromeda ship. Turns out they’re also one of the official sponsors for FBC Racing. What not many people know is that Lenny’s is a restaurant for a race of coprophagians (think space flies). If you played Elden Ring, then you shouldn’t be surprised with the concept of dung eaters.
Lenny’s mascot is named “Swirly Pops”. What’s that? Yes, his tooth is a piece of corn. No, I don’t see a problem here. Anyhow, we can’t wait to make some emoticons with him.
Expect obstacles such as piles of suitcases and leftover kegs of Lenny’s Special Sauce. The sauce is so thick and radioactive that skippers have trouble going through it.
We are currently in the process of tweaking how fast the skipper goes, how strong the boost is, what the best angle for the ramps are, and so on. Our focus remains making it fun to race.
For the next newsletter, we’re hoping to have some news on the second leg of the race as well as some info on what lives in the sewers…
