The Steam page for our new game, "Raging Blasters 2," has been opened.
A major feature of the game is its pseudo-two-player system.
It is scheduled for release on Steam and Switch in 2027. Please add it to your wishlist!

I meanβ¦ sounds like an RPG to me! Thereβs a reason I donβt play those.

Trouble is that you need system design chops and a lot of poor coders write their programs more like a script than as a system

Have you done 2600 yet?
Itβs got some good beaches like in RealSports Volleyball

09.03.2026 17:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The web app trend is awful. I canβt think of a better way to waste resources. Iβm sure react native can be clean as well, but the projects Iβve seen using it were carelessly slapped together with out of control prop drilling and macro-style logic mixed with UI XML. It was unholy.

09.03.2026 13:38 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I think they wanted the player to feel like a drift hero, just pulling off the craziest drifts at ridiculous speeds. Daytona is like the opposite where you have to really finesse it so you donβt fly off the curve. I love both approaches.

09.03.2026 04:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Wait is that different from the initial OutRun 2 Xbox release? Do you know how the drifting was different in the arcade?
09.03.2026 04:44 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0RR is all about exploiting it. If you hit the curve just right youβre pulled through it with infinite traction and losing no speed. The arcade versions feel less like this fwiwβ Rave Racer is probably the peak of those.

09.03.2026 03:56 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0One of my favorite things about having limited options in a tracker is clipping samples either because itβs not loud enough or because you donβt have a compressor.
