Looking for feedback of the racing game that I'm developing

[DragonJam]

This sounds like a fun racing game!
When is the release date?
Do you have a Twitter so I can follow it? (I'm also a game dev)

Hi COWCAT!

We still don't have a fixed release date, but we're about to launch a closed-beta soon.

Here's our twitter account: Wincars Racer Twitter

Thanks a lot for your comment! :awe:

Hi Chaosblade02,

Well, the game is mainly focused on synchronized online races, a thing that it's simply impossible to play at this point in smart phones.

Maybe if we'll make a specific version for iOS and Android including some new features, like an asynchronous racing system basedon beating your friend's best times, or racing againts their ghosts, it could be possible.

We'll consider it after we release the game for PC, and maybe we come out with something.

Thanks a lot for your comment!

There are plenty of synchronized cross-platform mobile games. Android's fragmentation might be an issue, but iOS not so much.

Hi Rakehellion,

Could you please mention some of those games?

(it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I'm quite interested in knowing how they manage to do that and learn something new!)

Thanks!

Undoubtedly, this award belongs to you too. You who helped us with the Alpha tests, who usually give us feedback on the game's progress and all of you who just read this thread on a regular basis.

Congratulations!

There's a new post in the devblog featuring lots of pictures of all the action that happened these days at the fair: http://*******/1huig0U

Hi!

Long time no news, here we go!

Steam

Yes, Steam. Probably one of the most repeated suggestions we've heard since we started asking for feedback about our game. It's been a year and a half of reading "Will the game be released on Steam? So, we listened to you and are currently setting a Greenlight campaing so that you are able to play Wincars Racer on Steam.

I will announce the campaign once its released and see if we can make it to the store!

Drift button.

Another point where we used all feedback given to us. In fact, at first we didn't want to include this, We thought that it would be better to develop a system where you could make the car drift by just turning the wheel at maximum.

We were wrong.

We implemented the new drifting system and the game just got BETTER. As simple as that. It still needs some adjustments, but clearly, this is the way yo go. We're eager to see you get your hands on it!

Wincars Racer testing showroom event

We are hosting an event next 11th February in Telefonica Flagship Store (Madrid, Spain), sponsored by Pure Gaming and being part of ElZeroUno (a series of game meetings and conferences) where you will be able to play the game running in top-notch gaming set-ups.

I know that it's quite difficult that someone reading this in here could be in Spain those days, but... hey if that's the case, we'd love to see you and drink some beers together!


We've made tons of other corrections, improvements in the circuits, graphics performance, etc... but we'll leave that behind today and try to surprise you next time you play the game!

Greetings from everyone here at the studio!

Hi there!

We wrote a comprehensive post mortem on the past Wincars Racer greenlight campaign approved with the help of your votes. An insight into how Valve chooses what titles will end up being available on Steam and a good help if you're planning to release your own games on it. Do not hesitate to ask anything!

Regarding the development of Wincars Racer, we're now working hard to implement Steam features into the game... friend system, achievements, etc... and making good use of this extra time to work on polishing game mechanics and some new stuff that will be announced shortly...

Greetings!
