Zero Gear - an indie multiplayer kart racing game

    I made a short video this morning showing off one of the weapon items we have had working in the game for a little bit, but have never fully shown off. Here is my little description of how the weapon works:

    Really cool stuff zaph

    Here are a few clips from some playtesting of the race game mode that we had the other day. There are some new features in these clips, including mouse looking/aiming and hopping. The other major change to race mode has been our experimentation with awarding boost to the players, which has increased the fun factor by keeping players close enough together to use Zero Gear’s unique brand of close and personal physical weapons.

    Hmm, the car is really small in proportion to your screen.

    I kind of liked that, but I'd except it to be something you could configurate on your own.

    i think the word you're looking for here is in game resolution...

    I moved it a little closer, we will see how it feels during the next playtest.

    I have also been fine tuning the amount of rotational dampening on the karts in order to cut down on the flipping out, to make the karts a little less fragile when bumping into things.

    No, actually its camera distance. Totally different thing.

    it looks very easy to take those shortcuts, shouldnt it take some skill and reward daring players as opposed to just keep on driving straight forward?

    We recently got the 12th and last map before release put into the game. It is a little hard to appreciate how many maps we have made over the last 2 years, so I decided to put them all together in one graphic for visualization.

    on the game progress front, we are back to having closed private beta tests every week, and we hope to move to an open beta at the end on November.

    it's called Zero Gear because a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, we made a list of a ton of different words and phrases and put them in a bag and mixed them up and that was the combination we thought sounded good

    Hey guys, we just got our build back onto Steam - and we are going to be ramping up testing quite quickly in the next 2 months. I have some keys to give away specifically to mapcore but I want to give them out to groups of people that will actually play together. Post here if you know up to 8 other people that you are sure will try out the game with you (in your office, or other people you play steam games with) and I will PM you 8 keys.

    We will be having a simple sign up soon with many more keys but we have a few old ones laying around I want to give back to my mapcore homies.
