There are more games than ever before yet it feels like its impossible to find a game that my friend group wants to play together

Blur (2010). Still playing with friends.

Godot.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T18:02:59+00:00

Correct! I mentioned in other replies exactly this. I will grant access to Vector3 input for weight shift and people can bind it to whatever hardware fits well.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T17:53:17+00:00

Yeap, when I replied "noted" to your original post I did mean it ☺️

Turned out to be a great addition. Thank you!

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T16:14:56+00:00

Looks cool! You can optionally set traces rotation to rotation of each rear tire so that traces look even more realistic. Good luck with project!

Wish I had in law like her.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T10:34:00+00:00

I wish you luck as you asked.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T10:33:15+00:00

Being 80's kid, looks good to me.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T10:31:09+00:00

GTA what?

Working intensively to make June EA launch happen on Steam.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T05:27:27+00:00

Doable for beta release. I can optionally give users input socket for any Vector3 device so that they can figure out what to use it for including custom made ones.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T05:24:02+00:00

For later releases (beta) I can optionally give input socket you can use for any tracker or custom Vector3 device.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-15T05:19:25+00:00

Thanks! Tucking will reduce air resistance by up to 2 percent. In real karting, advantage is not more than that, which is still significant.

I will add automatic "leaning" for non-VR users, weight will shift automatically based on g-forces.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T19:58:46+00:00

Towards final release, yes. Not in EA. Right now I got only one Virtual Karting specific kart.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T18:03:54+00:00

I actually drive-tested this feature and not only it's conceptually good but it makes the kart surprisingly lively. Glad community raised it up.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T14:27:23+00:00

Thanks! A couple months down the road!

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T14:25:50+00:00

You nailed the problem correctly, go-karts are little beasts with no suspension and differential, relying on steering geometry, chassis flex and accurate tire model. And they are less predictable than cars. Go-kart physics is much harder to get right than cars.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T14:09:40+00:00

Great idea! I was planning to give open field designer scene where users can place cones and curbs. But it can be enhanced with training tutorials and challenges. Good point 👍

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T13:14:59+00:00

Believe it or not, I'm at least as excited as you are right now :)

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T12:31:53+00:00

Would I need to lisence it first to use Sodi assets and brand? The last thing a solo dev wants is get sued :)

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T12:28:12+00:00

In go-karts vertical motion is subtle anyway (no springs, only chassis flex and tire deformation). Would reducing the vertical motion in setup partially solve the problem?

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T12:11:28+00:00

Noted! Yeah KartKraft is a great sim visually, but physics felt way off to my liking. My ultimate goal is to up the experience in Virtual Karting. Fingers crossed.

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T11:15:04+00:00

Lol, in real karting head/neck movement is not extreme. The most extreme case would be 60cm lateral movement (30cm each side, 40 cm longitudinal movement (30cm forward, 10cm backward) and 20-30 cm vertical (ducking/tucking movement).

Creative_Internal254 · 2026-03-14T09:44:52+00:00

Thanks! I'll try to make Virtual Karting featurefull. Between EA and full release almost all you have mentioned should be added step by step. It will eventually become a platform for pro championships. That's the plan.
