Rat Racer: New Race Track!

Dear Supporters - after a long waiting, here is "Wooden":



While the previous tracks were flat, Wooden is the first one with varying road heights and inclination. Use the analog gamepad and handbrake to keep the car grip. Driving at high speeds on this track may be unpredictable.



In addition we have more types of grounds such as undergrowth, mud, oil - each with its own physical characteristics.



Also:
- AI has been rewritten from scratch and has now more ways to win, however the script is not finished so sometimes it can be more stupid than before - it will be gradually improved in subsequent updates.
- The rats are fluffier



Let me know if there are any errors so I can fix them and move on to the next features.

happy drifting!








New race track is almost done:)


I don't want to spoil too much so only one image. The tests are quite promising so everything should be ready within 2 weeks

Protip: How to use analog gamepads

Rat Racer can use analog inputs but you need to disable Steam Input for this game:




and then you can map your axes directly into the game:




If you using PS4 triggers, there is special menu in beta version:




or use an external program like ds4windows which maps the analog PS4 pad as an Xbox Controller



Enjoy!

Rat Racer: New Race Track!

Hi Everyone!
After a long waiting - here is The Village - a new race track where you can test all new physics features:


The track has different kinds of ground and a lot of items to destroy. You can also move the items to block your opponnent.


It's also more detailed visually so the hardware requirements may be a bit higher.

[h3]New physics[/h3]


based on your comments, the car is now reacting to different ground types - dirt, tarmac, sand - you can feel this during drive, also visuals like dust, dirt, microbumps are upgraded.


The camera is more predictable in both 1 and 2 players modes and there is a better slomo effect and overall post processing.


Also, introducing Snowid! One of the best 8bit-medieval-rave-scene artist! There is only one music track but it's massive. You can also learn a few Polish words here:)




Let me know what works for you and what doesn't so I'll think about it in the next updates.
Stay stronk!
