Tire Fire Rally - Announcement

     This is going to be a new type of post for this page, an actual dev-blog entry instead of just tutorials. I said in the bio that I sometimes make games, and now I have to make good on that.

    I'm now working on a stupid rally-racer called Tire Fire Rally, and thanks to a grant from Mangotronics, it's coming to Steam. (These will probably get more polished and focused as time goes on, but I wanted to share this and I'm inpatient.) I've mentioned in some of my tutorial posts that you can support this blog by buying my last game, but if you're looking for a cheaper way to show support, you can go wishlist this game and start spreading it around.

    This game exists for two reasons; I got the game Corvette free with my original Xbox and I used to play a game called drunk driving in college with Mario Kart where you had to finish your drink by the end of the race, but couldn't drink and drive at the same time. After a race or two, all the karts started to get a bit sloppy on the corners.

    With Tire Fire Rally, I'm hoping to combine Corvette and Drunk Driving, having a game that at first presents itself as a serious (but retro) racing game and devolves into the ridiculousness of kart racing mechanics and drunk college kids. I want the other cars to drive like idiots, the announcer to be at least six drinks in, the sponsors to be scams, and the tracks to be designed with negligence.

    I hope that you'll all come back in the future to read more (and better articles) about a racing game with toll booths, but if not, you can still always wishlist the game (and start opening that page on all the model computers at Best Buy) and forget about it until launch. And if you're here for tutorials and mad that there's a half-assed blog on the front page, I promise I'll have more for you soon.
    Later.
