Rally Shift Extreme (RSX) is now on Kickstarter! RSX is a racing game inspired by the world rally championship races held in many countries throughout the year. Please back this game project and spread the word to friends, co-workers and anybody you think might be interested in a new awesome rally racing game.
Hello everybody. It’s been a while since the last update so you might be wondering what’s going on. Before I get more into that I want to talk a bit about what we are planning. Back when we made Rally Shift, computers did not have the power and performance they have today.

You might think that a rally car is basically just the street car version with perhaps a bit more horsepower and a roll cage installed. The truth is that it’s a lot more than that. A rally car has to be designed and built to withstand huge forces and loads without breaking or spinning out of control. If you tried to drive a regular street car the way a rally car is driven the car body would quickly buckle and deform and wheels maybe get torn off.
Time for an update on the rally game project and time is actually the area of development I’m going to talk about in this short update. Namely, being able to go back in time, to replay and watch your driving again. So at this point we have implemented a basic race recorder that makes it possible to hit replay and go back and watch a race over and over again.
We have made a short video showing some test driving in an early prototype of the game. This is with unfinished untuned car physics and a basic road with some scenery. It’s basically a small test track where we can try out and test various ideas and game features to see what works and what does not work.
