Zero Gear - an indie multiplayer kart racing game

if you have any sort of momentum driving into it you will come out the other side. It only sucks you up and keeps you in the air if you spawn it on top of yourself and don't move.

thanks KungFu, it's almost been a full year now since I quit my job and put all my chips into this.

Here is a video of a playtest we had last night of our new game mode, it was a lot of fun!

not yet, every kart controls the same. We want to people to be able to customize that but we haven't gotten around to it yet.

it is some music that I licensed from online, We were considering using it for the main menu but for now it is just the soundtrack to the video. None of the maps have music currently.

small update, we now have one of these new-fangled "Official Game Groups" on steam - you can join it / check it out here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/zerogear

Also, I took some new screenshots last night, I replaced the old ones on our media page here: http://myzerogear.com/media.html

new blog post

been pretty silent over the last week because we have had our heads down furiously pounding keyboards in order to get a build ready for IGF submission. After some very late nights and many eye drops later we have emerged victorious with a build to submit. We made it! Woo!

Along with the submission I have been working on an awesome game manual to submit along with it, you can check it out if you want.

This milestone also marks the start of our closed beta, and although we initially have a limited amount of keys we hope to expand it as we get further in development. If you have a dedicated windows server on a fast connection and are interested in keeping up a ZG server for us, there might be a key for you - drop me a note.

as always, you can keep up with the latest by being in our Steam Group (and you can also just help us climb up the list of games by joining )

We have been keeping very busy as usual - spending a lot of time dealing with some nasty memory issues and other non-glamorous things. But to keep our spirits up we started on a new game mode, check out the screenshot and maybe you will be able to guess what it is!
