· 5h ago

Hi Mastodon! I'm Patrick, and I'm making TapRacer on my own: a side-on drag racer where your throttle is two keys, tapped in strict alternation. Underneath sits a longitudinal physics model: torque curves, gear ratios, clutch slip, tyre temperature, weight transfer. Launch too low and the engine bogs, too high and the tyres let go. The free demo is on Steam and in Next Fest (Oct 19-26): https://store.steampowered.com/app/5077320/ #Introduction #IndieDev #GameDev #DragRacing #SteamNextFest

TapRacer on Steam

Two keys, strictly alternating, as fast as you can. TapRacer is a drag racer with real vehicle physics: torque curves, clutch slip, tire temperature, weight transfer. Burnout, launch, four shifts — and the quarter mile is over.

Steam Next Fest (Mar 2026) – Thoughts

First of all, I love that there are these Next Fests. They bring visibility to smaller indie developers and with the vast amount of games out there, this is always good. For me personally, though, …
