Update! Alpha_0.6.9
Today I present to you the FINAL alpha update. The next one you see will be the first Beta update! This update is particularly important. With it, I have implemented all the systems the game will have. From now on, I will focus on polishing, bug fixing, and upgrades. No completely new mechanics will be added. However, this does not mean there will be no changes to the current systems. Quite the opposite. Now, I will mainly focus on improving everything that currently exists! Thank you very much for testing the game and your involvement in the project! Let's move on to the full list of changes in update 0.6.9!
- From now on, upon entering the game, you will be greeted by a profile creation window, and upon subsequent entries, a login window. There are also some secret hints ;) - The leaderboard now works properly. By defeating other Ghost Riders, the player earns license plates. Currently, they are placeholders. - If the player is on a track they have already completed, just before it disappears, they will be moved to the start of the next track. - If the player falls off the map anywhere, there is a collider under the car that will take them back to the start of the track. - Holding the button to reset the car rotation and location is now possibleto press even if the car is not on its back. - Rework of barricades - The higher the speed, the smaller the speed reduction. At high speed with nitro enabled, speed reduction = 0. - If the player collects multiple boosters at once, they do not overlap, and the displayed time of a given booster is always the one collected last. - Improved off-track detection system. The previous system detected that the car was partially off and on the road in certain situations, causing color issues. Now, the off-road color has priority. - From now on, points reset when at least two wheels of the car are off the track.
- New popup informing about task completion. - Minimizing the window and returning to the game, the last highlighted button remains highlighted. - Music does not skip to the next track when minimized. - Although the barrier sound is a placeholder and needs reworking, it has been muted by 70%. - Music added to the shop + some new track in gameroom. - Additional sounds: - Speed boost - Score loss - Flip boost - Ending time (slow beeping at 30 seconds, fast beeping at 10 seconds) There are no visible changes regarding map variants or cars. I added some values to the car that I can manipulate to make them more unique.
1. Improve the Steam page, logo, and ensure the trailer is in place. 2. Enhance the shop, adding more car customizations. 3. Ensure balance and diversity of cars. 4. More map vairants along with their completion. I will continue to update the game demo, so if you want to test the changes, feel free to download the update! Thank you very much for reading these logs. Thank you for your support and kind words! Remember, you are awesome and stay safe, night driver!

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!
