You all have helped us this far and now we call upon you to please consider nominating Rude Racers for the 2019 Steam Awards. Now we might not win and that's fine but we always have looked at our users as a part of the team-- you guys are in it just as much as ourselves so why not try and see where we can take Rude Racers :)

About the category- "Best Game You Suck At":

Anyone who has played Rude Racers would agree that the game has a way of really pushing you to the limit of your driving and combat skills. With dangerous obstacles, menacing cops and the intense, relentless competition of the races, our users have constantly told us how there are few other games that can top the satisfaction that one feels after beating a challenging event in Rude Racers! It's always had that "one more race" appeal to it and we have worked quite hard to keep that intensity and addiction at the centre of the overall experience.

It is for this reason that we have picked the nomination category as the "Best Game You Suck At" because despite the consistently high level of challenge and it's unrivalled intensity that will punish your slightest mistake, Rude Racers will always have you coming back for more edge-of-your-seat racing action!

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce that Rude Racers has now been launched in Early Access for a very reasonable price of $1.99!

We wanted to drop a message to all those on this group who assisted in beta testing the game and provided their valuable feedback over the last 2-3 months.

There's still a very long way to go for us before we can get this game where we feel it deserves to be but we couldn't come this far without you guys!!!

Big rowdy round of applause for all of you!

We also have a Halloween special DLC that is now available to download for FREE. It's a nice little pack with a new Haunted Village track, custom bikes, a crazy new broom weapon and riders with ridiculous face paints, masks and costumes!!

We're sure you'll it so check that out too.

Finally, if it's not a lot to ask, we do request that those of you who are interested, please consider picking up an Early Access copy of the game-- the revenue that we generate will be spent directly on the promotion of Rude Racers and we'll be very grateful for the support, as always.

If you have friends who would enjoy this game, please do share it with them. We have put in a lot of work into developing this project on a shoestring budget and though we feel a little embarrassed asking our loyal testers to buy the game, we find ourselves in a tight situation with the finances and might not be able to continue developing this game if the Early Access release fails to generate some momentum.

Much appreciation, once again, for your support all along the way! Enjoy the game and have a spook-tacular Halloween ;)

After a looong wait, we're back with the fastest and the most gravity-defying season of Rude Racers!

The new season boasts THREE BRAND NEW game modes and a completely unique set of challenges that will truly push your skills to the limit!

We are immensely thankful for all the support that we've received from the testers in the form of feedback, bug-reports and other suggestions. The current iteration of Season 5 is still work in progress and you can rest assured that we will improve the balance of gameplay, visuals and much more in the coming days.

Keep riding and keep fighting!

It's been a while-- how're you rude racers doing?

We are planning to bring the game to Steam Early Access quite soon and with all the preparations etc, we admit that work on the 5th season has been a little slow. Don't stress, though, as we will be introducing the new season to beta in the next few days!

For now, we've been going through all the feedback and to look for areas that need improvement and have also made improvements to some of the recently introduced features.

Here's a short summary of the additions and improvements in this patch:

- The emotion system has been revised to provide better and more logical reactions from the racers. We have also added more variety to the emotions.

- It was reported that Ultrawide resolutions (21:9 aspect ratio) had issues with correctly displaying some UI elements. We have now corrected this.

- We have also added a new motion blur postprocess to the in-game objects and we are especially interested in hearing your views on this.

The motion blur feature is still unfinished and we are working out the magnitude of the blur as well as trying to optimise the computations to deliver better performance for some low-end devices.

To avoid performance issues, we have disabled motion blur by default. To turn on Motion Blur, you can access the relevant setting from the Settings menu on the Home Screen or from the Pause menu in-game.

Your feedback at this stage of RudeRacers' development is very important to us-- let us know what you like or don't like by posting on this group or send us a message on chat.

Cheers!

Smash your rival into a pile of bricks and... point and laugh, of course!

The latest version now introduces a full-fledged emotion system which adds a whole new character to the riders-- the game automatically analyses different scenarios and displays emoticons to convey the current mood of the racers.

Crash into a wall and your opponents will race by passing a little smirk, express your frustration at having missed a lethal last blow to the tow truck and have the last laugh as you catch up to the bullies in Hunter events and push them off track!

We have also added the remaining 4 events to Season 4 and you can now experience the full set of challenges for the first 4 season of Rude Racers in the new beta update!

Do not miss the special Exploder events that some testers have fittingly dubbed THE LEVEL FROM HELL!

There's plenty of thunderous action in Season 4: Rush Hour so get in there and unleash some chaos!!
