Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
It's great to have so many manufacturers taking part in GT racing right now. I hope it lasts. All categories will have multiple vehicles with varying acceleration, top speed, weight and handling. They will be fairly balanced but a lightweight car will have a slight advantage on tight circuits while ...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
This month we've been working on the structure of the game, so not a lot of visual progress but it's now becoming a proper program. There won't be a car editor for the reasons Puttz exposed above. A track editor however is something that I feel would make it 10 times better, so after releasing the f...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
We do have some news! We're still developing the game at our normal pace and funding it with our day jobs. At the moment we're doing a full visual upgrade with much better solutions for graphic performance. In January we'll begin working on the 'front-end' which are menus and all the structure holdi...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
So after seeing that there was no point in keeping the campaign alive we decided to cancel it. Fortunately we are able to continue to work on the project in our free time as we have done thus far. At the moment we're discussing how to adjust the scope of the game in order to have a finished version ...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
Hey Trigger, sorry for taking this long to reply mate. YES! Can't wait to build those. I really like their looks and should be good fun with slow bouncy physics. Brazilian or European style? There will be different cars in every class, all with similar physics but small variations in acceleration, t...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
@Gzehoo Well, it'd simply mean the concept wasn't catchy enough. We depend on the game being shared, and the press. But the campaign is built around what we need to finish it with all the features we feel it deserves. What would we do? Redraw the scope I guess... But let's see. There's a long way to...

The campaign has just gone live! It's here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1910324258/apex-racing-league?ref=nav_search Take a look and tell us what you think! This game's for you guys, so if you back it that's awesome, but if not, you're still helping a lot if you can simply share it. Now let...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
@Black Rebel Thanks mate! @Lorenzo I'm glad that in general you like the looks, means a lot. Kerbs are fun to ride so we probably we made them a bit too big. I think it could be nice to have different types of kerbs as well. In real tracks they vary a lot. A track editor is the dream, we have some i...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
Wow thanks for posting one of the new videos here! We're preparing a Kickstarter campaign indeed, I wanted to wait on this news because we're also preparing a surprise for you that's not ready yet, but we expect to have it soon. @Buka Totally get that mate as I was looking forward to GR2 very much a...

No way! So much magic here, what a pack. Every car is stunning.
Maybe we're not living in a golden GR era but we're definitely living in a golden Lorenzo car pack era.

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
We'll have some news pretty soon! We're building all the race systems and networking which don't produce any visual results until finished. However we feel the concept is now complete, ready to be shown and we're preparing as much material as we can to make the most of the first impression. The stoc...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
Thanks! There are a couple of extra cars we want to build, I think a kart and a Stock car would add nice variety and we'll have 8 very different cars in total to start with. We still need to map and texture the 70s GP car, and needs a vintage helmet as well... Slipstreaming should work well. Cars wi...

Cool, looking forward to that. We did a few races with several of these on Saturday night, they look really nice in game! Physics felt nice as the rest of your garage.

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
Yes, we want to do motorbikes. The physics model needs to be different to make them lean into the turns, so it's a post-release project. We have spent some time playing GTA and imagining how they could feel if driven with the keyboard. I look forward very much to it. I like Trans Am, great drivers, ...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
I know, happens quite often with sims. Have you tried Automobilista? There's a 1990's V12 F1 car that's a blast to drive, V8 Supercars are awesome as well, but never ever find anyone online.
Vintage muscle cars... like late 60's Trans Am?

Nice, the '84 car reminds me of Cole Trickle's car. What kind of tracks do these race on? Dirt ovals?

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
Hi guys! It's been some days since I last wrote about our progress. We're starting to work on AI. It's really hard and tricky! This has made us appreciate GR (and all other racing games with great AI) even more. Right now our driver - we call him Jenkins - drives at 95% of our pace. His driving is s...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
We will think about this long and hard. Maybe in custom races car count could go up. We'd like to design the game with some structure and goals, but also custom events in which you can have all kinds of cars sharing the grid, custom championships, etc. It will be possible to make changes post releas...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
I think arbitrary pitstops work too well and would like to implement the same mechanic. Pit crews with matching color would look really cool but then the mechanic changes a bit. What I like with arbitrary pitstops is that there can be unexpected situations while pitting, especially in multiplayer. T...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
It is mostly because we though it would be a good number, the same as in RC races and kind of in proportion with track sizes which are going to be lapped in 20-30 seconds. There are some benefits for online racing as well. But let us think about this and see what we can do. There is another small is...

Re: Apex Racing League: We're making a new top-down racing g
@Black Rebel Day/nignt transition is the target. It's heavy on graphic performance so we're not yet 100% sure. This week however we've found a few tricks that helped so it's looking good. Dynamic weather won't be featured though, at least in the launch version. The problem is the transition, ie a gr...
