- Viewergames Racing Discontinued - 14 December 2023
For economic reasons, we have decided to indefinitely shut down Viewergames Racing. We are very saddened by this decision, as this project was dear to our hearts and we had few but loyal players. Thank you to everyone who was with us until the end! Perhaps there will be a revival in the distant future, but this remains uncertain. Spaceflower will continue to exist, and we are currently working on new projects! Your Spaceflower Team
- Everything New - Also With 100% More Ranking and Global Stats! - 4 January 2023
Hello Racers! Long time no see, yet we haven't forgotten you, no, no, actually we've been busy on turbocharge! What happened: Rebuilt Game We completely rebuilt the main game from scratch, applying all your previous feedback and our own observations and experiences. Added a few more colors While we did aim for a simplistic look with the previous version, it was a bit TOO simple, in the end. So we locked our eyecandy guy into a dark room and didn't let him out till he made everything look more nice, vibrant, colorfull (or colourfull, for our british racers) - just nicer, in the end. No waypoints, anymore While a few racers were sad about this, we did away with the "settings your car's waypoints" mechanic. Not only did it never properly work and was only really used by very few people, it was confusing and did consume 60% of all development time. So we decided to drop this little used mec…
- A Scenic View - 5 May 2021
Hello you absolutely amazing racers, the race committee and how we call it German, the "Strassenbauamt" (yes, we have funny words here) have been super busy the last two months with reworking and prettifying all of the existing race tracks and one completely new one (yes, we reworked it before it even existed.... however we did that....). To keep a short story long, here's all the things we did since the last time you read any Steam news about Viewergames Arcade: The Game Overhauled Tracks: All racetracks/maps have been tweaked for smoother gameplay, based on all the feedback we got from you, and also have been improved quite a lot eye-candy wise. One New Map: Added "Over Round" as new map that for the first time features bridges over the race track! Tweaked Car Behaviour: We put some turbos in for more horsepower and also fresh new tires for all the grip you need to stay on track. New…
- Get Wrecked UPDATE - 19 February 2021
Hello everyone! *waveshand* We've been busy, again, putting a few new things into Viewergames Arcade we hope you'll enjoy. This time around it's pretty much all in the game, after the Twitch Extension got a bit of a facelift, last time, it's minor bugfixes only, for the Extension, this time, but more so nice stuff in the game - so let's go down that road: Wreck It! Blowing up all those cars is already fun, isn't it?! But when they go "boom", they're just gone. Poof. Like they've never been there. Wouldn't it be cooler if they'd actually leave a burning wreck? If you now say "Yes. Yes it would", then hooray, 'cause that's exactely what they're doing now! Of course the wrecks will eventually burn out and dissolve into smoke, leaving a clean track for you to cause new and more havok on. Burn It! As if burning wrecks are not enough, the race can be even more on fire, now - literally! If a b…
- Live-Items, Timers and Improvements - 1 February 2021
Hey guys! Hope y'all made it good into the new year! We've been quite busy in January to answer more and more of your feedback and suggestions - this time we added so much cool stuff, again, my fingers hurt from all the typing to get them into this news. So let's get rolling! THE GAME Stuff we did to the main game: NEW: A classic "start your engines" countdown when the race starts: 3, 2, 1, GO! NEW: A super neat timer to auto-start a race - no more "we're starting at at 11:05pm", just set the timer to any time you desire, start it and the race starts once the timer has timed out. Improved: You can now toggle between "use mouse to click on things" and "use mouse to look around" mode - no more need to hold the right mouse button to move the camera, you can still do this, if you want, but just toggling the mode via the TAB key now works as well! Improved: The leaderboard now takes up less…
- New Maps, Idle-Cam and More! - 22 December 2020
Maps, maps, maps! It's all about them maps, right? You wanted more maps to keep the races interesting, and more maps you shall have! But instead of the two additional maps, teased in the main menu the whole time, we now have three more maps for you: Chili Man Charo - long, enduring races on this track spanning two islands Temple Of Doom - race along an ancient temple - what secret might it hold? Frozen Peak - chilled (pun intended) races on this snowy mountain peak, perfect for some holiday get-togethers - pro tip: trigger the christmas track effect here, for some extra snow and color lights (click each preview for a larger view) Idle Camera Here's your way to have the screen do something while you take care of more important things. We added an "Idle Camera" feature! What does it do? When you leave the game sitting for a while in idle and not doing anything, the camera starts cycling t…

There's a quite long To-Do list that we're aiming to get done before the hollidays, end of December, and since we don't want to hold back all the goodies we already have, here is the first batch of new and imporved features, for yours to enjoy and feed back :-) The Game Here's what changed for the main game: New: The games settings can now also be accessed from the racetrack map - even during a race New: Option for enabling a Sub Only mode, where only subscribers of the channel can join the game New: On-Screen notifications notifying about all the cool dudes and dudettes using their Bits for whatever they desired, so you (the streamer) don't miss and can say "YEAH!" to them (will b…
- First Update Rolled Out - 17 November 2020
We hear you! You screamed in our ears and we couldn't ignore it away! Well, actually you all feeded back to us quite nicely, thank you all, who already gave us valuable feedback and suggestions. So, here's what we did for this first update: Main Game: Fixed: The issue of Channel Point redemptions on the Twitch channel lagging the game, even causing it to freeze in extreme cases Twitch Extension: New: Hitting the "Join" button now will immediately add the viewer/player to the game, instead of first having to submit waypoints via the "Done" button - this aids players who just wanna take part without fiddling too much with the waypoints Change: "Done" button has been relabeled to "Send To Game" to make the function more clear New: "Send To Game" button changes to a fairly noticable color to indicate there's changes in your player data that hasn't been sent/update to the game, yet New: Wayp…
