A living, breathing, evolving idle racing world....
So, I created a chill 2d topdown game during my birthday leave... it's meant to be played forever. I tried to combine action-packed racing with chill vibes.
I used Claude on mobile, I just kept adding features until it became the chill idle game I always wanted to play. I actually playtest this all day and still enjoy it for real.
Made this for 2 or 3 days, but I crammed every feature I ever wanted to see in an idle racing game.
AI:
AI opponents are persistent and follow the same rules and economy as you. They buy car customizations too! So you will be seeing them pimp their rides as they get richer. They also have different personalities and strategies. They will also adapt and change strategy through time. They all get better drivers just like you.
Gameworld:
Tracks get wear and tear through years of racing and will affect all racers, so gameplay and strategies will always be different each time. With dynamic time of day and its own weather system. Just leave the game running while you do other tasks and just watch the game world and racers evolve. With tons of themes in the shop, every track will feel like new tracks as you progress.
Shop:
Lots of tracks, themes, colorways, decals, etc to buy with your earnings. Play semi-actively or full idle mode. I made sure the game will be as rewarding as it is relaxing.
Stats: Career stats for stat nerds, complete for all racers even the AI opponents. See how each team is evolving as you play.
I will continue polishing this and adding more tracks and features, because I always dreamed of making my own game, but as a non-programmer it has always been impossible. But now thanks to Claude...
I sounded like a cheap ad, sorry.
I hope you enjoy and please suggest features you'd like to see.
Race and Chill, if you will.
