VIP COPILOT PROGRAM

We offer you the opportunity to join a once in a lifetime chance to be part of a gaming project.

Unlike traditional game design studios, in which the development is solely in the hands of the game designers working full time on the project, we are exploring a different path to ensure we release a game suitable for the community.

We will list the features we would like the community to be involved in and through a voting system let the community provide their opinion and select the best choice.

At the current development speed, we expect to deliver the full first version during winter 2024. As a result, in order to provide back to our VIP backing community, we will release a first demo version at the earliest time.

The proof of concept has already been developed, proving our ability to deliver the coming full game once our campaign is successful.

Hear from our proof of concept testers

We have conducted several rounds of tests in live conditions. People that have attended these sessions are friends, true gamers and project collaborators.

Tony describes in the below video his opinion and inspirations about the project when Chris sent him the first build of the project.

Current Development Stage

The city map is ready and all the different places the story will take you have been added. These places  have been spread across the map so each player will encounter them during their playtime.

The modes are still under development, along with most of the missions beside the ones already implemented and made ready in the demonstrator. Some missions are already implemented to make you feel the thrive of the game.

Overall, about 39% of the game has been developed so far.

Once the crowdfunding campaign is successfully backed, we will deliver the different features, and modes according to the timeline available here: 

We are now waiting at the end of the Indiegogo campaign to finalize the modes, adding all the features planned including the multiplayer gaming environment, the various functionalities both in-game but also outside of the game allowing you to for example interact with the players, send messages and create your profile.

Additional features such as dynamic environment, day and night cycle, customization of the cars, tournaments and leaderboards, live social media sharing functionalities will be added later on once all the main functionalities within the game will be fully live.

We also plan to propose a secondary environment – a new map in more laymen terms – depending on the completion of the stretch goal with additional modes to expand the original capabilities of the game and make it even more addictive and better.

This second environment will need a more thorough planning and game design balancing that we have yet to fully execute, and will be part of a stretch goal with its dedicated budget allocation.

Expected Timeline

We have designed our roadmap to ensure we deliver the version 1 within the next 6 months. As such, our key milestones are as follows:

• Alpha: September 2023
• Beta: October 2023
• Production version: January 2023

Once the funds raising goal has been reached, we plan to deliver the version 1 within the next 6 months, as of today faster development is only doable by increasing the workload of our development team which is where the funds will be allocated as the first priority.

The extra time booked for them means we will be able to dramatically speed up the production and deployment of the features and hopefully have all of them delivered by early 2024.

Once the VIP beta version is released, we will focus on the feedback received from VIP backers and work on the next sprints with improved features and functionalities.
