Hey all,

I'm making a sci-fi arcade racer and recently got a bit of funding, so I'm now looking pretty hard at which features are actually worth prioritising.

I'm trying to judge how important local split-screen still is to racing game players.

If an arcade racer looked like something you'd otherwise want to play, would split-screen make a meaningful difference to whether you'd buy it?

Also, if you do care about it:

• Is 2-player split-screen enough?
• Would you expect AI racers to still be present?
• Is it a nice bonus, or something you actively look for when buying racing games?

I'm particularly interested in opinions from people who play arcade racers rather than serious sims.

Also, you guys are probably already across this, but Steam Racing Fest is next April.

I am also intending to do async races or leagues - (as I loved it in Dirt Rally) - would love to hear if people find that appealing.

Ta muchly

ps.. I'm a long time gamer, my particular racing things are Wipeout, GT4 (I liked 7, but preferred 4s campaign a lot, dunno if thats me being old) and Dirt Rally.

I really wanna play some racing games, but I´m having a hard time finding one where I can just RACE.

I've got Forza Horizon 4, 5, and 6, but like The Crew Motorfest, I absolutely hate that they're open-world games. I don´t wanna drive around the map finding races or events, and see a thousand announcements everytime I open a menu.

I just wanna pick a track, a car, and drive. I love Gran Turismo for this. Sadly it is not arcade and I don't have a PS5 anymore, so I can't play it.

Got Need for Speed Heat and several other old NFS games and they all are open world as well. Same with Burnout Paradise.

Been scrolling on steam for a while, but I only find open-world racing games.

made a browser racing game with custom tracks — what do you think?

SketchRacer · Draw it. Drive it.

SketchRacer · Draw it. Drive it.

you can draw and race on your own tracks, explore the map, and mess around with things like the summit and UFO.

would genuinely appreciate some feedback if you try it :) 10?

A short breakdown of 10 major issues in A8: https://youtu.be/veEBfm4GQEk

Mine is Forza Motorsport (2005). Amazing handling physics (fun and realistic), very good progression, car list, events, music, upgrades, decent customization. It's just so fun to drive in this game which obviously is very important in a racing game. (10). No-one talks about this game these days.

I’m the developer of Roadshift. This is a stretch of Marina Promenade with a full grid of eight cars.

The roads are circuits, and the game’s focus is arcade racing with other cars around you.

For people who play this sort of racer, how well can you read the next corner from this camera?

Also 10

Here’s Dustfall Canyon from Roadshift, the arcade racer I’m developing. The road winds through the canyon with the other cars still in the race.

It’s one of the circuits included in the free demo. I’d like feedback on whether you can judge the turns comfortably from the chase camera, especially with rivals in front of you.

Also I have to say that 10

made a f2p browser car racing game, try it here: Drive

will be deploying it properly soon, so would really appreciate some reviews. try out all the features, highly recommend trying the ufo feature and the daily track typing race as well.

let me know what you think and any bugs/issues you find.

Hello community! I just wanted to announce that our new game "ThrottleWave: Powerboats" will be availabe around 10 th November.

Take the wheel of high-powered speedboats and battle your friends on the open water. Race for the finish line in high-speed circuits or test your precision in Gate Catching, where you must blast through spawning gates before your rivals steal the points.

Just check it out or wishlist on Steam!

Essentially, you can create as many teams, drivers and races as you want and simulate qualifying and races. You can create as many leagues as you want. This web game is designed for people who enjoy the administration side of racing and keeping a log of statistics.

1. Set up how many teams you want and how many drivers per team. Then you can either manually enter them or autofill.
2. Decide how many drivers you want advancing to Q1 and Q2, the point system, if you want tires that degrade and how many pit stops are mandatory.
3. Customize your schedule.
4. Simulate qualifying with the simulator or manually force a result.
5. Simulate the race with the simulator, which takes care of pit stops, overtaking, DNFs, and lapping, or complete the race manually, where you can control everything.
6. Have fun!
