    Zero Gear is physically-fueled, online multiplayer kart combat PC madness that me and 2 other developers have been developing for the past 2 years and change.

    Hey Zaphod,

    Love the work you two have done on this project, visually it looks great and I remember watching a video of the test game play and it looks damn fun. I'll be getting it also

    Theres something to be said about working on a project that really appeals to you, and being able to find others who can help you realise it, it's always more rewarding doing what you want rather than being told what to do.
