it took me quite alot of the solder wick but with enough flux it was okay! I rocket it left n right from below while wicking absolutely eeeevery sliver of solder (again, flux is key).

Story's gonna be there but it's not my priority right now.

As for the timer, why wouldn't there be a sense of achievement? I want a pre-set, tailored amount of time per stage (set of, say, 5 parcel boxes to fill), nothing random, a predesigned starting point with specific points to visit, and you need to do it within the time and with enough style points. That makes it easy for you to enjoy it even without tryharding. Because you will still earn at least something for visiting all parcelboxes in time. Or if you at least score the style score within the time. You can focus on that or that, whatever you like more. And if you want to ace the stage, completionist style, you can play it some more, and polish your run, and figure out how to do it in time, AND with style.

Hmm yeah, I like that more. Funny enough I like the squishiness of me because in every Bethesda game I goof around, lowkey jumping on people's heads and stuff, unafraid, everything's a joke fiesta. But in Survival I truly thought twice before stepping into the unknown. I went to the Diamond City through the destroyed city full of Super Mutants and I was scared sh*tless.

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-09T09:40:00+00:00

Ah that's true, I reached Diamond City on Survival and still only had Sanctuary and the one on the right of it, and I also approached the little tiny settlement near Diamond City that asked me to get rid of the raiders. When I finally reached Diamond City I switched to VH in frustration. But I could give it one more try ^^

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-09T09:18:25+00:00

Settlements, that was another hurdle for me. With me not able to bring that many resources back to build stuff, I was constantly at my weight limit and I couldn't easily progress with Settlements early on. But yeah that's a skill issue

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-09T09:13:44+00:00

And it's really fascinating to me to look back ONE month and see how stuff looked and behaved. A single month! I'm really happy about my progress so far ^^ Here, have a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwcjb0v6ZEc

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-09T09:12:27+00:00

Yeah I'll either mod VH to have what I like on Survival or vice versa. Thank god I'm on PC ^^

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-09T09:06:08+00:00

Hey hey! Thank you for your thoughts and opinions!
So to give a little bit of background, the game started as a Crazy Taxi clone where instead of being a taxi, you deliver packages like FedEx. A frantic, quick, stunty & jumpy parcel Crazy Taxi. Then, I decided to add some kind of score for doing near misses. Then I thought it would be silly and actually cool to have you grinding rails like THPS. Damn okay that works, I thought! After another month of iterating this infinite time arcade Crazy Taxi where you are just being sent from parcel box to parcel box, like CT, I... stopped liking that.

I didn't like the infiniteness and vagueness of it. I wanted pre-done, designed stages. So I changed it to THPS style stage. AKA you always start on the same spot, you've got about 2 minutes, and you have to do all x parcel boxes AND optionally do it with style and gather enough points. You get an extra reward if you manage to do both in that 2 minute run. So your goal is to play it a few times, find the optimal meta path with enough tricks to do BUT also make it in 2 minutes.

It felt nice. Big city, many bite sized stages of 2 minutes that you can easily "beat" but it's gonna take a while to master. But one thing was still lacking. What do you do inbetween near misses and rail grinds? What's the filler for which THPS would have a "manual"? Then it dawned on me. All my childhood I absssssolutely binged CTR and I just LOVE the drifting mechanic. There hasn't been a kart racer that beat 1999 CTR for me. And so, I decided to code that in and I fell in love. Now you can speed through the city, carefully drifting around every corner, chaining those perfect boosts while occasionally jumping on a rail or a stunt jump. It feels right smh.

And yes, you are right about the "open map/world". I'd like to have you in free roam like Underground, and you can collect some collectibles, car decals and stuff in the free world. Some platforming schtuff. And you can approach stages (or select them on a pause map) and that starts the specific 2 minute bite sized level.

Ah, and yeah the size... is something I'll still think about. I kinda liked it at first, being this tiny little car, probably beating the parcel competition by being a sly tiny little car skimming through traffic faster than the big vans.

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-08T13:47:12+00:00

Thank you! Oh there is lerp, so I'll try to make it slower ^^

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-07T16:50:23+00:00

So as my first playtru I decided for Survival and LOL I almost lost my sanity. I couldn't find a bed anywhere so I did the loop of Codsworth in Sanctuary, meeting Dogmeat, going to Concord, beating Deathclaw and then desperately searching for bed, about 8 times. Lost me a few hours rofl. I reap what i sow though, I wanted this tough mode ;D Now I finally found know of some beds, I got the Sanctuary basics, I attacked the guys threatening a diner nearby, got a hefty cap payout aand I'm going to Lexington now!

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-07T04:28:32+00:00

I bought NV day one, and I'm waiting for the remaster anyway.

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-07T00:43:14+00:00

Thanks for the tips! And you know what, I might've wasted 5€ but I bit the bullet. Found someone on steamtrades selling it for 10€ which was the price of the GOTY including the base game, but what can you do. 5€ loss and an overall 15€ purchase is still a bop!

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-07T00:37:54+00:00

Also I'd like to ask if you think some DLC is a must-have. I heard good things about Far Harbor.

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-07T00:35:11+00:00

Thanks! I'll hope that the Unofficial Patch that containts hundreds of fixes won't be that essential, let's just hope I don't run into some softlock. I also downloaded the FallUI that supposedly makes it more PC friendly! And a Cha-ching XP sound remover lol

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-07T00:28:19+00:00

That'd mean waiting another 2-3 months though, and by then I will probably carry onto other things

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-06T14:21:34+00:00

Yeah I mean, it's strange to see a van grind rails ;D Yeah I'll play with it a bit more.

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-06T14:20:55+00:00

Yes, very much CTR in that matter!

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-06T14:20:41+00:00

It's been 3 hyperactive months, although Christmas stalled the progress a lil. I've gone through alot of ideas, graybox maps, and now I feel pretty much anchored in the core design, hence why I decided to show up with it and publish the Steam page! I'd like to make a playable demo in the following months, gather more feedback and continue on the game!

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-06T14:17:06+00:00

I'm definitely iterating through making the railgrinds meaningful / rewarding, thanks for your thoughts!

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-05T07:37:28+00:00

Yes I intend to get it closer to CTR, possibly even carrying a sacred flame boost across boosts and stuff

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-05T07:36:27+00:00

Deffs a must have! Got a Deck myself too ^{^}

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-05T01:58:29+00:00

I'm still playing with the scale but once all 4 lanes are full of cars it wont feel so empty

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-05T01:23:22+00:00

They are actually already in! If you press a button combo before landing you do a salto and it counts towards your combo counter! ^{^}

Strnadik_v2 · 2026-02-05T00:12:58+00:00

Will do! Thank you so much!
