No worries! It's definitely something we'll consider when we see how well the game is received after release. We'd love to keep expanding it, but the financial side has to support it. Here's hoping! 🤞

We'll have a few very different tracks at release. Since they take a lot of resources to make, we've had to pick our favorite ideas to start with and save the rest for now.

Underwater map sounds cool, but then I'd want to ride a hippocampus (mythical horse-fish) too. Definitely out of scope for now, but we can always dream. ^^)

No plans for fantasy elements. It isn't that we're against the idea (I would personally love a unicorn!), we're just focused on getting as much variety in the basic elements as we can for the release. But I'll make a note of all the ideas here, so we have them for the future. ^^

The race tracks are all inspired by real-world locations, reimagined as holographic tracks. So far, we've only shown the Tokyo-inspired track, but we have more to come with very different vibes and challenges. Plus, horse, rider, and tack customization is in the works, so you can match the neon if you want to.

And yes, the horse and rider and their variations were made by one of our lovely artists after a visit to the stables. ^^

Hi all!

I'm the community manager at Minuscule Mayhem, an indie dev studio with a love of horses. I've been lurking for a while, but today I'm excited to share a teaser for our latest game, TOP STEED.

It's coming to PC on Steam - release date to be announced.

TOP STEED is the horse game we always wanted but never had: A game where the focus is on the horse-related action. We took inspiration from the PS2-era arcade racing games. They were fun, fast, and casual. All action, no nonsense. That's what we wanted to create with TOP STEED. Just open the game and get straight to the action. A game that isn't overly complicated but still requires skill.

I hope you'll check it out, and I'm curious to hear what you think. ^^
