Once signed up to the newsletter we will make contact once testing is underway.

Need to add movement to the cockpit cam to simulate the drivers head movement.

Update: Hello racing fans we are currently expanding our team, so that we can continue doing our day job (providing game dev outsourcing which keeps the lights on and Pringles on our desks) and have people working solely on the demo full time. This should help speed things along, so we will have more updates, artwork and clips coming in very soon!

Thanks! Good to hear it brings back memories!

We have looked at a track editor and livery editor. Currently when using the livery editor you are limited to the amount of polys on a vehicle (as we color each triangle with vertex colors), which can make painting 'interesting'! We're still testing at the moment to see if would be useful for players.

Those concepts will go great with the 60s/70s concepts we have (Ferrari Modulo, Stratos Zero and Alfa Romeo Carabo). :D

Thanks! We're currently working on a gameplay demo of Racing Apex, so we've put the brakes on the Kickstarter campaign for now. Hopefully with demo available it'll generate more interest!

Great list Hogge! Really liked the 900 Turbo and the airplane inspired interior!

Hi Nergal01, We will have a few subtle references to the racers we've worked on! ;)

Custom designs are something we looked at as unlockables or bonus cars. They would be a bit more down to earth than some of the RR7 cars though! ;)

Yes development will continue after the KS has ended. We're looking at options such as going straight on to Early Access

We're planning on continually adding cars to the characters where they would be a good fit, so your suggestions are a great help!

SUV/Trucks and Pickups will definitely feature in Racing Apex, so vehicles like the Ram SRT-10 and GMC Cyclone will be available. Pikes Peak, Nascar Truck, Dakar and Top Fuel/Dragster are some of the sources of inspiration for SUV/Truck types.

Great suggestions! They will all be added to the list!
-We have in game a Corvette C3 with the L88 and 'Greenwood' Le Mans body styles.
-We've also got a Stratos with the Gr5 as the 'Pro Race' version. (We've also got a Stratos Zero.)
-The 405 T16 could work as the 'Rally' conversion of a BTCC 405.

A low poly take on the Ridge Racer Eclipse would be a great nod to the Ridge Racer series.

Any more suggestions - please fire away!

Hello wj11jam - Waterflame created 10 tracks for the OST and Heine House is also producing a number tracks for us as well. The music on Trailer 3 and 'If You Like 90's Arcade Racers' is from Heine House (as he produced the video for us). We'll be adding an article to IndieDB with all the links to the music soon.

Hi Nergal01 - We'll be updating all sites with a big 'Weapons Optional' banner this weekend! :D

Hi Bearkiddy - the IOS/Handheld version was put on hold as the work on the PC/Mac version became more involved, but once the PC version is at full throttle (racing puns) we may be able to get the IOS/Handheld version back underway.

Hi Nergal01 - All the News articles we create are being archived at the moment. So we cannot post any updates - we'll contact more moderators to see if we can resolve this issue

Thanks! Interstate 76 was a strong source of inspiration for Racing Apex!

Thanks for the link!

Many thanks for the feedback. We will update the feature list to better highlight the option of no weapons/items before we launch the greenlight.

Thanks!

We are aiming for a full release by the end of the year, if the upcoming Steam greenlight goes well, we hope to offer early access.

I've got my old copy of Interstate 76 here on my desk, its another great game that has influenced us!

It'll be pay once, no micro transactions or pay to play. We're hoping to get it on Steam greenlight very soon and if possible GOG.

Thanks, the early 3D arcade games such as Virtua Racing and Wing War (and even Virtua Fighter) have inspired Racing Apex.

There is the option to race with or without items and weapons, its also an option you can set on multiplayer races. We have separate online leaderboards for things like Online Time Trial with the no items/weapons option.

We're hoping some people will like the damage and destruction of twin Gatling guns and others may just wish to carve out the best racing line, with just the throttle and brake as their weapons of choice!

Thanks, We're aiming for the classic solid polygon look but with all the gameplay, physics and damage you get in modern racers

Thanks! We've got it running on older Vista PC's at 30fps. We are aiming for 60fps though!

Not just yet, we are still at pre-alpha at the moment. We are planning for early access soon. As it would be great to have the community help us balance all the car and character combinations!

Zeewolf was great! I played a lot of Indy 500 and Hard Drivin' back in the Amiga days - those games have helped shape the look of Racing Apex. The cars use full physics for handling and damage.
