Hi folks,
I’m absolutely pumped to finally reveal my new game, Exo Rally Championship, to the world. Just debuted it as part of PC Gaming Show 2023, but in case you didn’t catch it there, here’s the reveal trailer:
I’ve been working away on this for a good while now with Rhys Lindsay and Mark Billington on board to make up the full Exbleative team. Rhys was responsible for Exo One’s stunning soundtrack, and now brings his programming skills as well as his musical talents to the table for Exo Rally. Mark contributes with his math and physics skills to help with vehicle simulation.
Exo Rally Championship is the galaxy’s most dangerous off-road racing event. The final frontier of racing - remote, unexplored, extreme exoplanetary rally.
You’ll take the wheel of advanced RCS thruster-enhanced rovers and attempt to master a brutally realistic racing simulation. You’ll have to conquer unforgiving and inhospitable alien landscapes, speeding between waypoints on procedurally generated stages filled with hardware-breaking weather and terrain challenges. There’s a career mode inspired by Earth's legendary rally events, where you can customize, tune, and repair your rover to optimize performance in the face of diverse environments. It’s all about pushing the boundaries of speed and control as you tackle the most intense off-road rallying event in the galaxy.
After making Exo One I really wanted to explore traversal on other worlds from a totally different angle. Exoplanetary rally brings together all the elements of an exoplanet and challenges you to face them head on - its gravity, terrain, weather, atmosphere, and endless hazards. Every aspect of the planet is materially affecting your rover and your time, pushing you dangerously close to the limit.
It’s a bit of a departure from Exo One, but I’m so excited to be working on it - I started out working on racing games, and it feels great to be back. I’d love to know your thoughts on the game - it shouldn’t be long until we start opening up early playtest demos right here on Steam!
If you could throw it a Wishlist it really does make all the difference to tiny teams like ours. Or if you wanna chat Exo Rally Championship, there’s a new Discord we’ve just launched here: https://discord.gg/75wYhXzHP3
Stay tuned,
-Jay
