Hello Night Drivers! steambored I have decided that I want to build this game together with you. I am a solo developer with a full-time job as a Game Designer. Midnight Racer is my side project through which I want to learn every aspect of game development. The game will not be a scam or a cash grab. This is a production that brings me immense joy to create and, most importantly, gives me valuable experience. I want to look back at this game in 10 years and say, "Wow, this is my very first published game." Due to the very positive reception of the demo, I have decided to develop it further. Until the game's release, every update will also be released as a demo update. So today, I present to you the first update after Steam Next Fest! Alpha_0.6.8 Major changes: - Adjusted keyboard support to provide a similar experience to playing with a controller. - Attempted to resolve issues with some controllers (It turned out that the Steam Input system overrides the controller support configured in the game. This sometimes causes problems for some users. I have undertaken to solve this problem. Since this is the first issue of this type, and I don't have much experience with Steam support, it may not be completely resolved. I tested it with PlayStation and Xbox controllers. For now, both controllers seem to work perfectly. If you have problems with controller support, disable Steam support for controllers. This will most likely solve the problem. However, if the problem persists, I will continue to work on changes). - You can control cars in the main menu. - Changed UI navigation to DPad from the left stick. - Removing quests costs MB. Minor changes: - Removed bug with cars flying off the map when in the air, the car is aligned with the track tip. - Removed bug where the speed booster sometimes stacks multiple times (1 booster - 1 boost). - When you buy a car, the button no longer bugs. - When you minimize the game and then restore it, the previously selected button remains selected (unless you click with the mouse. This will also be fixed soon). Additionally, I will soon create a Discord server where I will ask for your advice, and we can discuss changes in the game together. Thank you very much for your interest in the game, remember, you are awesome!

Arcade Synthwave Racing Game

Drive, Chill, Complete Missions, Upgrade Cars, Buy Skins, Compete with Other Ghost Riders, and Earn the Title of Synthwave Champion!

General Concept

This isn’t a classic racing game. Midnight Racer aims to capture the spirit of old arcade games with a modern twist. You don’t compete with other players in real-time here. The main goal of the game is to put you in a trance-like state, allowing you to kill time and stop thinking about anything, no matter your mood.

To enhance your gaming experience, the game allows you to turn off the music while keeping the other sounds. This way, you’re encouraged to play your own music in the background. This game is best enjoyed with your favorite songs.

The game allows you to drive very fast cars, which will require significant skill to stay on track, as well as slower ones designed for a more relaxed experience.
To further support your choice of play style, Midnight Racer features a chill mode where there’s no time or score pressure. The tracks in this mode are also much easier.

Features

Drift! Become a drift master. To stay on track and achieve higher scores, drift your way to victory!

Time-Limited Gameplay with Time Extensions: Play within a set time limit, with opportunities to extend your playtime.

Synthwave Atmosphere: The entire game is crafted in a psychedelic synthwave/vaporwave style. Immerse yourself in the 80s vibe with a modern twist.

Shop: Purchase new cars. Each car has its own unique perks and different stats.

Quest System Tailored to Your Playstyle: You can choose the length of the quests you want to undertake, ensuring they fit your preferred style of play.

Achievement System: Your progress in the game is tracked, with every success rewarded with special prizes such as new skins, colors, or even cars!

Leaderboard: If you enjoy competition, there are 10 Ghost Riders for you to defeat, allowing you to earn better titles and their license plates.

Chillout Mode: Depending on your mood and preferred gameplay pace, you can opt for a game mode that slows things down, allowing you to relax with less demanding gameplay.

My Chillout Zone: Turn off the in-game music while keeping the sound effects, play your own music, and experience the game on your own terms.

Words from the Dev

Midnight Racer is my first game, and I actively work in the gaming industry. This title will always hold a special place in my heart as "the one where it all began." I’m certain that I’ll keep coming back to improve this game for many years to come.

That’s why I’m so grateful to you for visiting this page and reading the game’s description, even if you’re not interested in it! Remember, you are awesome! Have a wonderful day!
