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):

@tapracer@mastodon.gamedev.place Easy win, just remember to start in second gear, and you'll finish in 5"51! Also good luck and much fun with your project, of course. :)

@tapracer@mastodon.gamedev.place Welcome to Mastodon, Patrick! Real torque curves and clutch slip under a simple two-key tap is a brilliant mix of easy and deep 🏁
