GeneRally 2 is a friendly top-down arcade racing game - with an easy-to-use, built-in track editor. GeneRally 2 is the sequel to the 2002 classic, GeneRally - one of the most played arcade racing games of all time! Have fun racing alone against the AI; with your friends in "no split-screen necessary" couch PvP; or try your hand at creating tracks and sharing them with the world.

GeneRally 2 now in Early Access! If you want to find out more about the Early Access process, please read our developer blog post on the subject!

Experience a wide variety of fun and interesting tracks created by us, by the GeneRally 2 community - or make the perfect track for you in our track editor. With 60+ objects (and more being added all the time); 12 different surface types (from dirt and gravel, to snow and ice); and a feature-packed terrain-editing tool - the only limit is your imagination! Upload your creations to Steam Workshop and share them with the world. You can even import tracks from GeneRally 1 directly into the game!
Race against the clock (and the ghost car) in time-trial; against the AI; or with friends in couch PvP (online multiplayer coming during Early Access). There's no need for split screen - the whole track is visible at once - so grab your friends and family, and get racing! Compete in single races, or see who's victorious over multiple races in championship mode. Up to 8 players can play together on the same computer.
Customise your car and stand out from the crowd - adjust the colours and paint scheme for you and every car in the race.
Detailed car physics take account of many different real-world parameters like drive-train type (FWD/RWD/AWD), suspension travel/rebound, weight distribution and more! The cars are easy-to-learn but hard-to-master, based on a realistic physics simulation.
Plan your pitstops and manage your fuel, tyre wear and damage over the course of the race - or turn all of those off and enjoy unlimited ability to run your friends off the road!
With a variety of different cars (5 at launch, more coming later), each with their own unique performance and handling characteristics, there's never a dull moment.
Tweak the AI opponents for closer racing - choose between multiple driving style "profiles" and adjust their skill level to battle for victory.

July Update - v0.3.211872a

Summary

This is our major Early Access update for July. It includes a variety of new game features, including support for importing tracks from GeneRally 1.

PLEASE NOTE: The quality of imported GeneRally 1 tracks varies depending on a variety of factors including object count and usage, track design, land-map style, etc. In many cases, importing the track into the Track Editor and making suitable upgrades will be the best path forward!

Gameplay & Performance

Added support for loading GeneRally 1 tracks directly in-game, for play with 1-6 players (please note, tracks imported from GR1 will vary in quality, depending on a variety of factors).
Adjusted the friction of soft walls to make them more friendly.
Improved how the AI navigate to pit boxes.
Updated all default tracks to make use of the new objects and camera settings.
Implemented a zoomed "follow camera", with customisable distance, to assist users with vision problems.
Improved the steering behaviour of the Formula.
FIXED: Cars should no longer bounce weirdly when landing.

User Interface

Reworked the visual appearance of the in-game UI - offering two themes ("Light" and "Dark", selectable in the Options menu).
Added a "finished" flag to each driver that has crossed the line for the final time.
Added last lap, and fastest lap to each driver block.
Driver blocks now only show for players, not AI.
Improved the performance of the in-race UI in general.
When adding a driver to a race, it will use the same car type as the previous driver in the list.
Added localisation support, initially supporting: English, Finnish, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish.
FIXED: Lapped cars crossing the finish line at the end of the race no longer have an incorrect position.

Track Editor

Added support for importing GeneRally 1 tracks into the Editor.
Added a new "object variant" system, which allows for objects to have various, selectable appearances.
Reworked the object selection menu to be more compact and easy-to-navigate.
Updated the model for the Gate (and renamed it to Gantry).
Updated the model for the House (base colour adjustment).
Updated the models for the Flat Bridge and Humped Bridge.
Added a new object, "Gate".
Added a new object, "Ramp".
Added a new object, "Hay Bale (Round)" in two orientations.
Added variants for the following objects: all office blocks; sunk tyre; pedestrian bridge; road cone; soft wall; traffic sign; house; flat bridge; humped bridge; hay bale (round).
Added a new track property: "camera height".
FIXED: The person object no longer has a large selection radius that makes it difficult to select nearby objects.

Known Issues

The main menu sometimes experiences distortions or other rendering issues - changing resolution, or restarting the game may rectify the issue.
Shadows may flicker on certain systems when using the follow camera mode. This will be rectified in a future patch.
Some text in some places may not be localised.
Occasionally, when in Windowed mode, changing the language multiple times in quick succession can shrink the game window.
