Still not trusting kickstarter projects.    And no wheel support.  :(

We have a new sub-forum?   Saint now posts things out than site-related grumblings again?  This is all news to me!  The sky is falling!  Somebody get my bucket for my head!  ;)


Am I the only one suspicious of a game looking a lot like it's running on the outrun engine being developed after the reverse-engineering of outrun? (aka cannonball)

Looks strangely like Rad Racer as well.... I think it's the lack of shading on all the sprites.

I had that same cannonball feeling.
Why pay for something you can get for free?
As Cannonball is open source, you can add your own controls if you want.
It's a suspicious kickstarter if you ask me.

Looks promising, I think they need to add some extra visual flourish to the car though, to add to the sensation that it's actually moving, it looks a bit static at present. I LOVE the music.
