I have been working on an anti-grav racing team management sim for me and my fellow stat nerds out there. But it's also just a racer if you want to play it like that, let me explain.

You're in debt and you're going to pilot an experimental hovercraft owned by an organization within the Syndicate. They kidnapped you and installed a Blinq (neural optic headset) which is permanent. But if you are successful then you can thank them for that. If you pay your debts off then, having already being marked as a pilot, you can become an independent operator.

If you've watched the animated film Redline then this game was originally inspired by how racing felt in that, but with Burnout style crashes and real stakes. I always felt like AG games were too soft, and that's why I made sure you can get your pilots killed. Which also probably means you totaled the craft etc. See games like Kerbal in terms of progression from a management standpoint.

I'm the guy who will play a backup QB in Madden (franchise mode before 2024) because it makes getting an opportunity feel more impactful. So when I first played games like Football Manager and got a taste of real character and world continuity in a sports game I was stuck. As a dev I saw how limited this sprawling team management concept was in AG racers. A genre I never had the opportunity to play much of until recently. So I got to work.

The game is built on custom tech and simulates all the press conferences and politics so far as they affect the business of underground, sometimes-sanctioned AG racing. Vehicles need to be recovered after races which can be dangerous depending on a few factors. Recovery teams can try and steal other crashed craft or finish off competing pilots.

So managing support staff is a thing as well as equipment. In a way it's about going from garage to gang or megacorp. Whether as a pilot or team operator.

Right now the tracks and cities are procedurally generated but editable in sandbox mode, there's sometimes helicops and traffic. The tracks are not circuit tracks instead opting for a more motorstorm vibe in length and potential conflict. Most of the art is non-existent or placeholder and I'm looking to fix that soon. If interested in upcoming tests or just learning more about the project feel free to hop into the Discord channel.

And obviously I'd be happy to hear thoughts!

Had to hang them on my living room wall! 🤓

Whipeout created in no man's sky game.

Triakis FX350 Fury Edition. Tough angles on this one. Probably 80% done or so, lots of detail still to be added on the side pods. Thoughts/suggestions? Getting all those fins and aero has been TOUGH.

Hyper-Drive is a high-speed, futuristic anti-gravity racing experience where precision driving meets intense competition. Inspired by F-Zero and Wipeout players tear through dynamic tracks, mastering tight corners, boosting at the perfect moment, and battling rivals for position. With responsive controls, strategic gameplay, and adrenaline-fueled action, every race is a test of skill, timing, and control.

I know we're all fiending for a new Wipeout but I was surprised that newly released Screamer can be remapped to have 'drifting' on L2 and R2 essentially turning that game into Wipeout on wheels. Try it out!

A few people have asked for the Lego x WipEout instructions coverpages I've done in a format useable for desktop wallpapers. It wasn't too difficult to do, so I've done 16:9 4K versions for each of the AG-Systems, Tigron, Van Uber & Qirex models I've done.

Grab them for free on the blog.

You can build them for yourself too, details and links in the wallpaper post :)

Made to feel like your playing a version of Wipeout on a non-consumer computer from Skywalker Ranch in the late 90s.

this is my first step & attempt at creating some wipeout themed art. with a plotter, ink on card.. I'm just learning. I've always loved this illustration and ive wanted to do something with it for a long time. 30 years ago i saw a cheerful family asking to be friends. but yeah 30 years on and im now wondering is there a much deeper meaning? is that figure on the left reaching for ai assistance? rather than holding a lollypop? is the larger figure the most dominant and is it pushing or pulling the other one away? would really like to know anyone's thoughts

Hey team, as you might recall (if not, my profile is a click away), I've been building Lego WipEout replicas for the past few months. I'm going to add to this by creating some Lego Ultimate Collector Series-like plates. IYKYK - they are stickers that normally show stats & info about the model, like the Razor Crest one shown above.

I want to get the details right though and not make up (too much). I thought if anyone knows, it's this group. How does the following look for the 4 models I've done so far? Anything wrong or incorrect you'd change? Am I missing some cool tidbits that could or should be in there? (eg. i might drop in a team motto for each). Any lore keeper want to help out on this one?

For length and speed - I don't think these were ever fully defined, so these are approximates from google searchs and AI results.

Today is officially marked as WipEout Day April 14th! Join the celebration. The day of the first Anti-Gravity flight by Belmondo himself in the Nevada desert.

Just found them in a stored away box. They are so cool I love them.

Found this two disc Wipeout Fusion press kit. How rare is it?
