    Are all the cars visually the same, or are they different? From the videos, I think the existing ones have a blockier front hood than the new one, but I'm not 100% sure. Have you got a wired model of the current car to compare images?

    Also, in the Q&A video you made, you said there won't be races per se, at least initially. Will there at least be an "8" track in which cars go round crashing at each other as in DD?

    Hi !!

    For information, each car is in fact inspired by real cars which competed in ARCA / NASCAR / STOCK CAR championships.

    The currently integrated cars are the first unlockable ones. So they may seems a bit old and "blocky" shaped, but each new car will be better (in term of caracteristics) and will seems more "modern" and aerodynamic than the previous ones.

    I don't have wireframe pics right now (it's 4:37 AM here !) but here's two cars examples from the six integrated models from the game, so maybe you can spot some differences :

    Sorry, just forgot to answer this ...

    Just making a single track alone (even if it's an 8) would be weird I think. So we are considering an other "fun" option for a future arena that would mix destruction and racing. Can't reveal it right now, but I think it will please a lot of players.

    Looks really nice, identical experience as the Destruction Derby from PS1 which I remember :) Really looking forward to its release.

    Thank you very much !! :)

    We'll try now to make more videos more often to introduce as many arenas as possible.

    The game will have more arenas and cars than expected for release as our devs and artists are on fire !!
    We will also add this week more customizations elements such as skins for cars.

    And for real Destruction Derby 1 fans, we will try to add a nice surprise for release if we have time ! :)

    More cars than expected will be available for the release. Here's two new cars with different caracteristics :

    [​IMG]
    The Magic is a very powerful car, very interesting to upgrade, but with low acceleration and weak gearbox.


    [​IMG]
    The Speedtrap is one of the most balanced car. Slightly less quicker and less resistant than the Magic, but with nice acceleration and no major weakness.

    We are currently working on more customization elements, a new arena and a more cars. Our dev team is also on bug fixing duties and Windows Phone port.

    They look very cool and I can sure see the differences between them now ;)

    Hello everyone,

    I have a bad news (not totally confirmed yet...)

    Due to technical problems (beyond our control) with our Mac, there's a real possibility that the game would be delayed.

    We were aiming for a release between 15th and 20th March, and if it's confirmed, the game would be released around 10 days after the initial targeted period.

    We are very sorry and we hope that we will be able to deliver the game as soon as possible.

    The good point is that the game will have a bit more content than expected for release. We are adding more customization elements and maybe we'll have time to add an extra arena for release.

    Thank you all for your support :)

    Well, the bad news sucks (not the delay, the Mac thingie you mention), but at least there will be more content on release :) I hope the bad news isn't as bad as you say.

    Take the delay with a pinch of salt and use it to your advantage ;)

    I would use this delay to promote the finished product. Post pictures and videos on social media of the finished game, a luxury you wouldn't have if you were to publish the game instantly when it is done.

    Don't worry, it's not that bad, that's just that we are now unable to build on iOS, so we can't test our updates. And we don't want to submit something's that haven't been tested.

    The big problem is that we are unsure of the release date, so it's not very good if want to communicate on the game.

    Yes, more videos of the game are coming. Today we released the stadium video and next one will be about the warship arena. (Here's the Youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvSE_SADlOAZBuBKDBD86lw)
    But due to the Mac problem, there will be no more videos about arenas during a few time.

    More visuals and screenshots are incoming very soon for the facebook page !

    Hello everyone.

    We released today a new video to present the Warship Arena.

    I hope you'll like it ! :)

    We're also working on the icon of the game right now !

    (And if someone know how to put embedded videos on the forum, I would be very thankful for some help :D )

    This is taken from another thread (remove the space at the end between url and ]). I guess the ]video is the key, but I'm not sure.
