art of rally News

Hello, wonderful people of the internet!

art of rally turned 4 earlier this week, and what an incredible adventure it has been! It’s been even longer, more than 7 years, since we teased the first concept gameplay for our motorsport management game, “The 107% Rule”.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we managed to complete Absolute Drift and art of rally! And now, in 2024, we joined forces with Strelka Games to create another exciting game!

Huge thanks to the amazing people that worked on the game, from artists, producers, developers, translators, marketing, community management, rally marshalls, and more.

Thank you for making this dream a reality!

[h3]We're proud to announce the release of the demo for our upcoming 2D motorsport management game, Golden Lap, co-developed with our friends at Strelka Games![/h3]

You can fire up the engines and play the demo now until June 17 as part of Steam Next Fest!

Get the demo now:

In the demo, you can tinker with two modes, including ‘Quick Race’, where you can select a pre-built team and get right into the action; and ‘Career Mode’, where you can fully embrace the managerial duties with a four-race mini championship and assemble a crack crew of racing specialists, each with their own unique roles and attributes. You can also manage your team’s budget and sponsorship opportunities, tune the vehicles during the qualifying period before each race, and upgrade them entirely between races to account for a variety of track types.

2. select Properties
3. go to the Betas tab and then select the beta branch

5. verify the installation.

You may need to try different Steam input settings in the Controller tab in art of rally's Library Properties and also in the Steam Controller Settings. Make sure to restart the game each time you change any Steam settings.

If you didn't have controller issues previously, but now have them with the beta branch build, please send the game logs to the team after you try the build. For instructions, see the pinned post How to Report a Bug: https://steamcommunity.com/app/550320/discussions/0/3844431603853496606/
