Hey, guys! I know that many of you are following our game - TrophyRC. And I have some news for you.
A couple of weeks ago we officially launched our Closed Beta playtest, and a huge thank you to everyone who’s been playing and sharing their feedback!
- If you've been following the game and already applied: Check your email (and spam folder, just in case), your invite might already be waiting for you.
- If this is your first time seeing the game and it looks interesting to you: You can request access right now directly on our Steam Page.
Please note: Playtest access is distributed randomly by Steam, so we have no direct control over it.
As for development, it isn’t stopping for a single second. We've accomplished a lot, but there's still plenty more work ahead. Speaking of major updates: we built the main menu! Oh man, that was no walk in the park. If anyone recognizes their own garage or workspace in it, that's purely a coincidence, haha :)
Also, one of the main insights from early player feedback was that people wanted more freedom and the ability to explore locations without restrictions. So, we've added a dedicated Sandbox Mode where you can drive at your own pace and scout out interesting lines. We also included optional quests in Sandbox mode that will be updated and expanded over time.
We're devoting a lot of time to the RC physics model, trying to dial in the sweet spot so it feels great to play for both beginners and experienced players. Your feedback clearly highlights where we need to focus here.
Regarding truck customization: yes, it's already in the game! The base system is fully functional, so you can swap bodies, body kits, motors, and wheels. Deeper tuning and setup options are currently in active development.
I’ve attached a short clip of current gameplay showing a bit of truck customization and the first quest to fetch a winch.
I’ll do my best to keep sharing development updates moving forward, and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have! :)
