Surprise, its an RPG! Spent most of my weekend getting the AI cars in the world to drive around and be interactable. There's still some bugs and polish is needed, but I think this is turning out cool.

One month ago this account literally had 250 followers, now it's at 1500. Also have almost 800 Wishlists on Steam. I just wanted to thank you all so much for the support, I'm blown away. 😳
Been approved! The Steam page is up: Kaido Genkai: Open world driving RPG, anime graphics, set in Japan, 90's cars! I'd love it if you'd share and Wishlist 👏 Your support is soo appreciated.
Just a little gameplay of racing around the map. Working on less visual stuff right now, have a few things to do before I work on 'fun' stuff again. I want to replace all the buildings and rework the map more...

Gunna play a little Tokyo Xtreme Racer today to hype myself up for the new game announced~ (self promo sticker included cause I'm an internet hoe)

This has nothing to do with anything, but wanted to show off some of my fav games in my collection, w/ a few deeper cuts. These undoubtably influence me. Also, one night I got drunk and bought Racing Lagoon for some reason.

Made a quick and dirty Steam page for Wishlists, which has been submitted for their review. Hopefully will be able to start begging for Wishlists soon! Pic unrelated.
Still working on the world, here's a shot of a populated area. Adding buildings, foliage, spline assets and everything else takes a long time, but it's really fun.

Lots to do! Fixed some music bugs today. Playing around with the idea of having a rough demo ready to show a few friends at PAX West at the end of the month... Ordered some stickers to hand out, aha!

Tokyo Xtreme Racer is back!
Your rivals await to drag you back into the ultimate challenge!
Thrilling races that unfold on the Tokyo Expressway, a return to the Tokyo Xtreme Racer roots. Coming soon to Steam! Wishlist now!
Replacing the old ultra low-res buildings with new ones. Lots of work to do, but I think it will be a big improvement to the look.

There's a San Francisco Rush remake being made by
@DevGuyBlake
and I'm so excited by it. All the games in one. Man, I hope you don't lose momentum on this, it makes my heart so full.
Welcome to the Itashacao project! Animation is done by Black box studio and the cars are done by yours truly! Its wild to see my models moving like this for the first time but holy shit is it soo cool!!!
Otherwise I've gone back to working on map geometry to add some detail and a few more small roads because I have an addiction and cannot seem to stop. Also fixing textures.
ROFL found this today - its the first thing I ever modelled in Blender from back in January. I've come a little way since (still have a way to go, too).
Everyone has a few mid games that don't hold up, but you still love them endlessly. Here are my
#unpopularopinions
- I love Driver. 2 and 3 are rough but blew my mind. Also, Road Rage is better than Hit and Run (we can fight🔥). I still come back to all of these to this day.
Got the Kei Truck's colors done! The car and color select menu works too, but I'm going crazy with trying to get Chaos Vehicles to be influenced by rotating ground due to tire physic logic (I assume). I need the cars to spin in the menu screen. :V
I know its just due to bots scraping Steam, but its so interesting to me that KG already has pages on sites like Metacritic and GameFAQs, and you can even "buy cheap game keys" for it on sketchy websites 😂. (I'd recommend you don't buy those keys atm though..)
@JimmyBroadbent
Love that everyone is spotting the Road Trip inspiration for this! That game meant a lot to me. Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it.
Passed 500 followers on here! 🥳 It might be a small number to some, but over 200 of you came in the last 2 days, and I wanted to say thank you for your interest! This is a passion project and your enthusiasm keeps me motivated and excited. I hope to keep working hard on KG.
Thanks to everyone that has interacted with me on this platform and shown a little bit of support. I know my project isn't much, but having a few folks be like "hey thats kinda cool" really helps keep my motivation up and I notice and appreciate you.
My fav thing about starting game development has actually been learning about so many sick indie games that I never would have found without becoming part of the community. There's so many A M A Z I N G games being made that sites like IGN will never post about.
@FrancisOcean76
Not sure of the full car list yet! I'll save these for consideration :) I was thinking to put like a '95 civic hatch in but I'm not touching the car list for a minute right now.
Dang, thirty years. NFS was a big part of my teenage years, and some of the core games are my favourites to this day. I’m delighted that something so influential came from my region of the world too. I used to work at a pizza place and occasionally made EA’s lunch orders in
Greetings from
#PAXWest2024
in Seattle! Super busy today! Just wandering around and having fun. Best things so far: playing klask and trying Steel Battalion on the OG Xbox.
I'm not gunna post every livery, but I really like this color. I'll post a group shot of them all when I'm done maybe! If you have any color requests, lemme know for this or the kei truck.
Hey there! With the last post, I feel it appropriate to give some insight into Perfect Lap. PL is a homage to classic racing games, think Auto Modellista + RR Type 4. Stay tuned for more updates, and a steam page to wishlist!

So, a couple of little updates:
Against my better judgement, I've decided to restore affine texture mapping 🥲 This means I've had to create a number of scripts to automatically break large quads into smaller ones.
Additionally, there's also some more lighting detail now. :)
Okay, this is the next car I'm putting in game. Thanks to Gran Turismo 2 on the PSX for introducing me to this baddie back when I was like, 10.

This cool Vietnamese website has rated it 5 out of 5 and you can apparently download it wtf 😂! (I think the download link just goes to the Kaido Genkai website)
