The campaign was cancelled on November 22, after it became "obvious" that the game would not reach its funding goal, having only raised $81,772. Failed Kickstarter campaign īugbear launched a Kickstarter campaign on Novem in an effort to fund the development of Next Car Game, with a goal of $350,000 to complete the game, and a stretch goal of $1.5 million to create PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game. The game now receives regular monthly updates from April 2020 with a focus on tournaments and cosmetic DLC content.
The overhaul of the physics engine has caused updates to the game to slow significantly. ĭue to the lack of publisher support, the development team provided early access to the game via pre-orders on the official Next Car Game website as well as Steam Early Access and also created a Kickstarter campaign as alternate means of raising revenue in order to develop the game. In a press release published by Eurogamer, Next Car Game was officially announced for PC. In an interview with IGN, lead game designer Janne Suur-Näkki stated that the game should reach a "feature-complete state" in 2014, with all key features implemented. Development ĭevelopment on Wreckfest began in 2012 under the working title Next Car Game, and was first announced by Bugbear Entertainment on the Next Car Game blog in August 2013. While Wreckfest's focus on physics and vehicular damage is similar to previous destruction-based racing games such as Criterion's Burnout, it follows a somewhat slower and more strategic approach, resulting in a more traditional racing gameplay experience than in comparable games. The races themselves focus heavily on "vehicular combat", where players have to find a balance between defensive tactics such as avoiding or blocking opponents and more aggressive tactics such as ramming opponents and shunting them into barriers to put them out of the race and earn points.
The game features three modes: career, multiplayer and custom events.
Players are also able to buy and sell vehicles, customise vehicles, and perform upgrades. Before participating in an event, the player is allowed to choose a vehicle, select from a variety of assist levels (whether to use a manual or automatic transmission, ABS, AI difficulty, etc.). The player controls a car in a race or demolition derby, the goal being to win the race or be the sole survivor of the derby respectively. The racing gameplay follows the same fundamental rules as most modern racing games, such as Need for Speed or Gran Turismo. The game includes a variety of gameplay features, namely banger racing and demolition derby.
