Ask the developers

[TapioV]

Hello,
I'm a developer at Bugbear and saw there was several news items at racedepartment.com about our next game. To summarize, we are making a full contact racing and destruction derby game with cool crashes and physics.

I wanted to drop by and say that we are now on kickstarter as we want to make this game as an indie, without a publisher - help us reach our goal and get the game cheap! Check out the KS page for videos etc, but don't hesitate to ask here if you have questions, I'll be around.

The figure 8 is amazing...played for a while last night using a gamepad and had a blast. The in-car view is sweet.....wrecked cars on fire parked all over the track; debris everywhere; very,very impressive already.

This is a great game and I will be supporting it. One of my suggestions is to reduce the smoke coming out of the car not so much for performance impact but because it makes the view harder when driving. An option to reduce that effect would be great.

Message to the devs:

Will you implement the ability to have multiple controllers ? I have a G27 wheel and CSR Elite pedals and the game just doesn't work properly. Only one controller can work at the time, lol...

Would be nice to have gears aswell for H-Shifters

Question already asked and kind of answered here. Hope they will have more definitive answer soon

Oh right, thanks

Will we see some more "Folkrace" or for the Bugbears: "Jokkis" ? Less american stock car influences and more nordic Jokkis/Folkracing/whatever the norwegians call it content please

Like more similiar cars and tracks to that type of venues...


For reference:

This game is a lot of fun and it actually works really well with my T500 wheel.

While the destruction derby model is a lot of fun, I think Bugbear could really score a big one if they also included dirt oval racing. Maybe as a DLC. I am actually not a big fan of oval racing in any form, but I know there are scores of dirt racing fans that right now don't have a modern game that caters to them.

Of course, my real wish would be for somebody to come out with a modern rally game to finally dethrone RBR. Maybe bugbear next project could be a real rally game. It seems to me that even in this early stage the off road driving is done pretty well and probably will get better. Graphics are excellent.

Anyway, I already bought the game and I''ll be happy to play it no matter the final form it takes, but IO think it would be a pity iof Bugbear did not leverage what they are learning with this game and try to cater to the niche motorsport that is currently under served or badly done.

Please, is there an inside view??

I found videos with hood and outside only.

[Michael Hornbuckle]

There is in-car view.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Great job on the update, it's very nice to use my DFGT wheel and Fanatec pedals now.

 

[Lewi6]

Good you got it working with different controllers Michael! I have a T500 and a set of Heusinkfeld HE pedals and I can't get them to work. Well, they will work but when I press the gas the car accelerates and steers right, and when I press the brake it steers left and goes in reverse. This is the best I can get it to work. I can't seem to separate the inputs and assign the steering and pedals separately. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

The menu where you assign controls needs alot of work...When I try to watch a replay the camera only goes left and right depending on where I turn my wheel; its like the mouse isn't even recognized....oh well, early early access and all that.

It would be nice if the devs could make themselves release an update at least once a month, the project would seem much more professional that way.

 

[yusupov]

+1 would also attract more buyers...i did buy when they finally just updated but tbh i was looking for any excuse

You are spoiled by Assetto Corsa. LOL. But I don't disagree with your statement.

 

[AndrewBo]

Wreckfest ???

Your game looks awesome buddies, but your marketing department ...wreckfest..wtf.
Well, they better stop using weed while in office.
Cheers

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Wreckfest seems like a good name for a destruction derby game IMO

 

[Blake Courtney]

i'd like see Front wheel drive cars, and Awd Trucks, and are thier goin be other class cars like street and race.

I want it on PS3, also keep it up, i had so much fun playing your previous games,

PS3 isn't going to happen I suppose. If and only if they do have intentions for consoles I think the most viable option is next-gen consoles.

From what i tried so far, PS3 can handle it with ease, also i think all previous games got ported to consoles and to be honest i enjoyed playing them on consoles more than on PC.
