Going GoldAll systems are go! Achievements are loaded up, shop mechanics are wired up, and every last meta system is in place and working as intended.This doesn’t just mean the features are implemented, but that they have been tested and tuned to support the pacing and progression across the entire game. Whether players are gunning for 100% completion or trying to survive a few challenges without exploding, they will always feel they are making progress in the game.As for the core content, every challenge has been tested and retested multiple times for balance. Difficulty spikes have been smoothed, and late-game mechanics now build naturally off earlier skills.Coming HomeThe public demo, which has been live since May, will be taken down in mid-August as focus is shifted towards launch prep and port certification.This will be the last chance to try the game early, smash through the early…

ChallengesBig milestone reached this month: every single singleplayer challenge is now fully built and playable from start to finish! Whether you’re reversing through tight alleyways, launching over sci-fi rooftops, or squeezing a muscle car through feudal gates, the entire gauntlet is now ready to break players’ spirits (in the best way possible). While the challenges are done, the real work now shifts to iteration and fine-tuning. I’m actively reviewing all the feedback pouring in from the demo, especially for the first four zones. Expect tweaks to hazard placement, environment layout, and flow pacing to improve the player’s learning curve while keeping the late-game challenges merciless. One thing I’m watching closely is player retry data, which is how many attempts it takes to beat certain obstacles, where people rage-quit, and where they break the system in unintended (but awesome)…

Demo and Steam Next FestThe public demo of no brake no gain launched at the start of May, and the response has been amazing. Huge thanks to everyone who jumped in, tore through the levels, and (sometimes reluctantly) shared feedback after getting obliterated by a spinning laser. The feedback has already resulted in multiple balance changes, UI tweaks, and bug fixes.The demo features three areas and a fourth area, which is only available for the truly determined. And with Steam Next Fest kicking off, even more players will get to drive, crash, and rage their way through the chaos. Don’t forget: the demo will continue to receive updates throughout the event, including...Multiplayer MinigamesAll multiplayer cars are now built, tested, and fully tuned for chaos. Each comes with unique skins and visual loadouts to help players show off in the level. These aren’t just cosmetic, each car has a…

Playtest Feedback - Fixes and Improvements The Playtest has been running for a full month now, and I want to give a big thank you to everyone who participated, submitted feedback, and broke the game in ways I hadn’t even imagined. From Discord discussions to private DMs, your feedback has been invaluable—and has already led to a wave of fixes and quality-of-life improvements: Even Faster Challenge Starts: The intro sequences are now snappier, and hazards (like laser traps) are properly synced with player movement from the very first second. No more unfair early deaths! Clearer Interactive Items: Jump pads, boost pads, and other special items now have visible meshes that match their trigger zones, making it way easier for players to predict interactions mid-run. Improved Collision on Containers: Container colliders have been updated to prevent tires from getting stuck on gaps, smoothing…
