Racing Fest, New Maps, and More!

Racing Fest features games that focus on proving who is the fastest, most skilled, or most competitive racer. While the event traditionally includes car racing games, SurfsUp is being included! This is my first time participating in a Steam festival and I am extremely excited.


With the new visual updates to maps, Nerdiful has added in a 'settings remote' at spawn. These are local only options allowing you to change the visuals of a map, either to change up the lighting and style, or adjust performance. You need to activate the buttons using the new USE key, which is bound to E by default (can be rebound in settings)

OG Mesa received a massive overhaul, rebuilding collisions and getting a new visual pass thanks to Nerdiful.


Mesa revo also has a pass done on the collision shapes for the ramps, removing ramp bugs.
