Sometimes, not being productive, is a great precursor to being "really productive and loving it"!
I was done with mobile games until I found this wonderful retro arcade racer (nice review of RR2 on Android): www.androidpolice.com/i-was-done-w...
… and even includes the little floating pound notes!
NEW: Try before before you buy version of Retro Racing 2 on Android. mrqwak.com/y/4 - Oh, Happy New Year everyone!
Could do with this for our chess club; would love to try the variant where the pawns promote on the 4th or 5th rank.
Newsletter signup on the website! ;)
Oooh. What’s Purple Saturday?!
Wooah! Blast from the past! :)
Anyone like to see the return of Qwaky Qwak? www.mrqwak.com/games/qwak/
Retro Racing 2 by @mrqwak.bsky.social is one of the best, most addictive titles of its kind. Simple? Yes, but huge fun & massively addictive. The fact it's now on Steam & playable with a controller just makes it even better.
Be kind to yourself and buy it!

I’d be so tempted if it was CRT, imagine that’d be prohibitively expensive to produce though.
You can see Darran discussing 20 years of the mag here. Enjoy.
Would love to get RR2 on this!
Oh yeah, looked like the Atari ST version! :)
Ha! Mucho appreciation, thank you! Please forward my apologies to your bank manager! :)
Over 35 years since Nitro, well over 30 years since ATR, but inspired by both games, Retro Racing 2 hits the Steam store (for Windows): store.steampowered.com/app/3739960/...
Thanks for the shout out!
Did anyone with a 'more than 60hz' display try the Retro Racing 2 demo on Steam? If so, does it run at the correct speed? I had a report it ran too fast, but tested it on my own (120hz) display and it seems fine. Thanks! Also, play the demo and wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/3739960/...
Retro Racing 2 adapted for desktop and coming to #Steamnextfest
Be sure to play the demo and wishlist!

How should a solo indie dev approach marketing? DIY or get help? How to split your time, what % of time on game dev, what % of time on marketing. Also, most effective marketing activities for a small solo dev?
Thanks Mark; good to hear your op was a success. I’m almost 3 weeks since my op now; my wound (looks like 3 incisions) is still healing and I have my first physio session this coming Monday!
Thanks Mark. Hopefully life will be better for me with the replacement ankle. How did it work out with your new knee? Did it help matters?
Thanks! :)
So I recently had an ankle replacement. All went well, but looks like a lengthy recovery period. Not in the best place to release demo and game on Steam, but it’s coming soon, demo on the 30th!
Trailer for Retro Racing 2, soon on steam and probably Mac appstore: youtu.be/uv_YFARbQvM store.steampowered.com/app/3739960/...
Retro Racing 2's steam page live for a few weeks now. Wishlist it now... store.steampowered.com/app/3739960/...
Retro Racing 2 - Steam - Should be able to wish list it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3739960/...
Yeah, it may be illegal (not sure) but deffo the appropriate thing to do, and I imagine the owner would be grateful. It looks like the cop just wants to play the ‘I am the authority here’ game.
I'm thinking about keyboard input for RR2 on Mac and Windows PC. Imagine most people will use joypads? If not, maybe 1 or 2 players on keyboard, which keys should be default?
