There's plenty of cool backing tiers to check out, like this one for the custom community-designed skin where you can submit your own image to be added to a paint job used across a bunch of vehicles
We're really happy with how the Kickstarter page turned out. It's got style, a bunch of info you might not have known, and the rewards are fun.
Also, a link to the new trailer on YouTube below if you could share as well :)
In addition to the Kickstarter, we've patched the demo as well
Air Control
Added setting in the input options to switch between press-to-activate air control and let-go-of-accelerate air control
Added tutorial tip in Arch track for air control, with mention of setting in menu
Input remapping
Added support for remapping inputs that couldn't previously be remapped, like accelerate and reverse
Tracks
Added some weather variations to tracks
We saw complaints that the game looked too fun an colourful so we added "British summer" weather to Arch and Powerplant
Sunset variation for City
Toxic haze and space sky variations to cables
Added more signposting to some tracks
Misc
Tweaked AI bot difficulty so that easy is truly easy, Neo is harder
Updated crank VFX to have trails (WIP effect, will improve later)
Just to reiterate about the demo:
So please keep that in mind when playing! 👌
Everything in the game is subject to change and will be improved upon, whether it's vehicle physics & mechanics, pickups, visuals, SFX, UI, etc.
The demo includes:
4 Tracks - 1 of them with art dressing, the rest are prototypes
1 Playground - Think of it like a skate park for GRIP cars
2 Cars - Two favourites from GRIP, the Cygon Tempest and Nyvoss Mirage (Don't sweat, we also have new cars and manufacturers planned!)
5 Pickups - Some returning from GRIP (again, we plan to do new ones as well)
Bangin' tunes - The game will have an original soundtrack this time by our audio guys Cave Bat. They have made 3 killer songs, on top of doing all the SFX in the game
This is a very early version, but we wanted to get it into your hands so you can hit the track again. To make sure this game is the best it can be, your feedback early on from this demo will help us create a more solid foundation for the game 💪
If you enjoy the demo, consider backing us on Kickstarter to support to help the full game get made 🤘
KNOWN ISSUES IN THE DEMO 🛠️
Vehicles can behave strangely sometimes due to the very high speed and amount of grip (ha) needed to keep them drive-able. You will see some physics issues in this demo, but we'll continue to improve vehicle physics during development 👍
The Crank ability can feel inconsistent sometimes, but usually it's due to the physics forces involved with general driving. The car can also clip through geometry or exit jumps strangely on occasion
If falling from height and landing flat, the car can clip through the floor and fall into the abyss - but this should be very rare. Physics are fun!
Exiting a ramp or going off an edge can sometimes make the car tilt unwantedly
Raptor machine gun bullets can randomly yeet airborne targets. Funny when you do it to a bot, but not so much when they do it to you
Accelerate and reverse can't be rebound from their original presets on gamepad. Also the right joystick cannot be rebound. We will try to patch the demo with a fix soon
Black pixels can show for some users in certain VFX
The Hydra pickup stays in the inventory slot for too long
Probably some other smaller issues are still present, but we'll address them over time.
