• Rat Racer: Drift Physics Update - 22 April 2024

  Hi! Here is new drift mechanics - now when your rat will gives too much throttle and then releases the clutch, the wheels will lose their grip and they will drift until the rubber will not catch the grip again. The wheels, of course, react to the different types of ground. (the basic gokart does not have manual clutch so it cannot drift, use Quadra cars) The clutch basically disconnects the engine from the wheels so you can save a bit of horsepower and use it a half second later, for ex. after a corner. If you are using an Xbox controller you can disable Steam Input - the controller will map to default mapping: If you have Steam Deck you can use this mapping from Aris: To use these features you need to enable Beta version: Enjoy!

• Rat Racer: New Car! - 19 November 2023

  Hi guys! After a long waiting here's a new car - Quadra :) It comes with several paint options and other tunings, it has also manual clutch so you can get some advantage by using it creatively (or just for small burnouts). Also: - there is better positioned audio, it is now easier to locate your opponent by ear - when your resolution is too low/high, press L to set full/half/quarter res - M mutes the music - Shift is clutch. Ctrl is handbrake - Alt+Enter turns full screen on/off Let me know here if you spot any bugs or you have suggestions for new cars or parameters to edit Happy drifting!

• Rat Racer: Physics update - 18 November 2022

  Hi Racers! Here is "look and feel" update, where we have: - new character: Bun! - both characters have now redesigned look and animated bodies - redesigned car suspension, both car and driver are reacting now on inertial forces - accelerating, braking, side slipping etc. - Ragdoll physics! Let me know if you find any bugs Enjoy! jacku *to use these features you need to enable Beta. Both players should run the same version of Rat Racer. *in multiplayer your oponnent does not have ragdoll yet

• Rat Racer: Multiplayer! - 19 February 2022

  Hi Guys, you can now try the multiplayer - use the same room name as your friend and go! The multiplayer is still in development so some of the collision glitches may appear. Let me know what works for you and what doesn't so I'll think about it in the next updates. To enable the multiplayer you need to enable Beta. Both players should run the same version of Rat Racer to avoid respawn errors. Enjoy!

• Analog gamepad mapping - 22 January 2022

  Rat Racer can use analog Xbox pads with such mapping: to use this mapping you need to disable Steam Input: Enjoy! Jacku

• Rat Racer: New Race Track! - 5 December 2021

  Dear Supporters - after a long waiting, here is "Wooden": While the previous tracks were flat, Wooden is the first one with varying road heights and inclination. Use the analog gamepad and handbrake to keep the car grip. Driving at high speeds on this track may be unpredictable. In addition we have more types of grounds such as undergrowth, mud, oil - each with its own physical characteristics. Also: - AI has been rewritten from scratch and has now more ways to win, however the script is not finished so sometimes it can be more stupid than before - it will be gradually improved in subsequent updates. - The rats are fluffier Let me know if there are any errors so I can fix them and move on to the next features. happy drifting!

• Rat Racer: New Race Track! - 29 October 2020

  Hi Everyone! After a long waiting - here is The Village - a new race track where you can test all new physics features: The track has different kinds of ground and a lot of items to destroy. You can also move the items to block your opponnent. It's also more detailed visually so the hardware requirements may be a bit higher. New physics based on your comments, the car is now reacting to different ground types - dirt, tarmac, sand - you can feel this during drive, also visuals like dust, dirt, microbumps are upgraded. The camera is more predictable in both 1 and 2 players modes and there is a better slomo effect and overall post processing. Also, introducing Snowid! One of the best 8bit-medieval-rave-scene artist! There is only one music track but it's massive. You can also learn a few Polish words here:) Let me know what works for you and what doesn't so I'll think about it in the next…

• Rat Racer - new race track progress - 16 October 2020

  Hi guys, I'd like to let you know that the new race track and improved physics are almost done and should be ready within 2 weeks. I don't want to spoil too much so only one image. Thanks for your patience!

• Rat Racer Update - 26 March 2020

  Hi guys! Rat Racer supports now analog steer and throttle. And the camera focus more on you than the AI player. If you like to enable these features you need to enable Beta on Steam: game/properties/betas. Note that the game supports 2 gamepads so your third gamepad may not work until it will be visible in Windows as gamepad 1 or gamepad 2. Set it as Preferred Device in Windows USB Controller Settings Let me know if everything works so then I can publish the game and focus on next features! stay stronk!

• Rat Racer Early Access Release - 13 March 2020

  Hi guys, Rat Racer is now available as Early Access! This version contains racetrack #1 with working physics and from now I'd like to develop it with your feedback. Let me know what works for you and what's not. What we have in version 0229: "Old Station" racetrack with playable game modes "Player vs. Player" and "Player vs. Ai" Photo Tool - during Pause Menu your mouse works like camera focus - use it to compose your shot and press F12 to take a picture Current limitations are: controller support - while the game officially does not support controllers you can control most of the car functions using analog XBox pad - but only as a yellow player during race, not in the menu. Protips: multiplayer - you can play with 2 players on the same keyboard, would be good to have a mechanical keyboard with anti ghosting to prevent many keys from blocking. If your keyboard is limited you can plug in…
