Circuit Superstars News

You know the feeling:
It's you, the car, the track and your next lap time,
and the next.
Each new lap an opportunity to:
do better,
improve marginally,
or simply:
rest in flow.
You lose sense of time as you focus on driving.
Effort becomes not about striving but about
being present,
quietly devoting yourself to improvement.
Your Best Lap, a new Personal Record appears at the edge of your screen,
you glance at it
smile,
and keep going.

If this has been you when you're playing Circuit Superstars, please nominate us to the Best Game to Sit Back and Relax!

Love,

OFG Team

Dear drivers,

Let's go karting! We are delighted to announce that Karting Superstars is OUT NOW on Steam Early Access!

Karting Superstars is a charming racing game that captures the exciting and competitive world of karting. Inspired to condense the thrill and beauty of racing, we've dedicated our love, time, and craft into this new game that builds on the celebrated taste of Circuit Superstars.

Karting Superstars is on Early Access because we want to make this game the best it can be: that takes time, effort, and collaboration. Karting Superstars currently offers a lot of fun to players through time trial leaderboards, multiplayer Custom Lobbies, and our single-player Kartcade mode with cosmetic rewards. It's already a rich experience ready for players to have fun with, but we yearn to expand it! We plan to deepen and refine the game's existing features, add more tracks for players to enjoy, and pay attention to the way the game is being played to understand how to improve the experience as much as we can.
We hope you join us on the journey to build an ode to the purest form of racing!

Join our Discord to meet the motorsport-loving community we have been building since Circuit Superstars. This is the place to discuss, share excitement, ideas and meet friends to race with.

You can also read this post to learn more about our design intentions behind Karting Superstars.

See you on the racetrack!

Love,
OFG Team

Hello, drivers!

We wanted to give you an update on what we have been up to.

We haven’t been able to release Patch 1.6 of Circuit Superstars due to circumstances that are slightly out of our control and are taking time to resolve. We hope to be able to release the update soon.

In the meantime, we have great news: we have been lovingly crafting a karting game! Our goal as a studio is to create games that condense the thrill of racing. With Circuit Superstars, we created a beautiful world of motorsport and gameplay that delighted thousands of players. Now we are creating Karting Superstars, an ode to the kind of motorsport we know best and the one we love the most.

Karting Superstars is a spin-off of Circuit Superstars, focused on portraying the intense and close racing action present in the purest form of racing, karting.

With this new game, we’re changing things up. First of all, it’s our first self published title and it’s PC only for the foreseeable future, which we believe can allow us to create a much more rapid rate of development that takes the game further as time goes on.

Secondly, it is developed with a much more focused approach, where we can put all of our energy and creativity into making karting a phenomenal experience.

You can Wishlist Karting Superstars now on Steam or check out the demo to take it for a spin! We also shared some design details on this post.

Thank you for your support!

Love,
OFG Team

• Shortened pre-race grid shot from 12 seconds to 9.5

• We have been working on a free roaming camera feature on Replays for all of you content creators. We know you've wanted to freely move around the tracks of CS and craft the coolest shots and photos imaginable.
  
• Dynamic AI difficulty - Read more below.
  

Dynamic AI difficulty:
We have a new Custom AI difficulty feature, that can make them faster than Superstars, and we also have a new AI modding tool, which you'll be able to use to create your own AI rosters.
This is a new system that aims to improve the player experience by adjusting the AI skill in real-time based on how well human players are performing in a race.

Depending on the human player's standing on a race, the AI will make an adjustment to either slow down or speed up, increasing the chances that humans will have AI competitors close to them through the race. The system is highly active in lower difficulties where player skill can vary widely in a short amount of time, and it is inactive in the higher difficulties where it is expected that player skill is a lot more stable.

We will announce the release date for Patch 1.6.0 as soon as we have it.

We can’t wait to see new players on the racetrack racing alongside all of you who have been with us from the start. We really love you and are grateful for all of your support.

Love and gratitude,
OFG Team
