The Track Editor: An Introduction

Posted: November 2022

  • Track Editor

“Whoa! GeneRally 2 is alive!?”

This must’ve been the thought of many people when the posts about Steam wishlisting started hitting the Internet. For me it was special news for other reasons: one of them was the fact that, for the first time in my life, I saw content I had created on a Steam store page. I am, of course, talking about the track screenshots.

You see, the team invited me to create tracks for GeneRally 2 using its Track Editor while also doubling as a play-tester and bug hunter - and I leapt at the chance.

As of the time of writing, I’ve spent around 15-20 hours with the GeneRally 2 Track Editor. The Editor, like the game, is not yet a finished product so I wonโ€™t talk about things that will change, but I am thrilled to be able to share some of my impressions with you all!

Wishlist GeneRally 2 on Steam!

Posted: November 2022

  • Steam

Today is a big day - you can now wishlist GeneRally 2 on Steam ๐Ÿฅณ

We’re excited to show you what GeneRally 2 looks like at the moment - and hope that you’ll support us by hitting the “Add to Wishlist” button on the Steam store page.

Wishlisting helps us out in a number of ways:

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ It gives us a good idea of how many people are interested in purchasing GR2.
  • ๐Ÿ“ข It lets us notify people who are interested, about the game’s upcoming launch.
  • โญ It helps others to find the game on Steam, too!

With those things in mind, we hope you’ll consider supporting us with a click of the Wishlist and Follow buttons.

As easy as one, two… done!

As easy as one, two… done!

Thanks to everyone who has supported us in getting this far with GeneRally 2 โ˜บ๏ธ

Dev Day #2

Posted: December 2021

  • Team

Today marked another one of our team Dev Days, where we get together to work on GR2 simultaneously (whilst chatting and eating pizza). Again, due to Coronavirus ๐Ÿ˜ท, we had this one remotely, but the (Christmas) spirit was high, regardless!

This time around we were focussing on improving usability, improving the visuals and also fixing some long-standing bugs in both the Editor and the car physics.

2021 has represented a significant step forward in our goals and objectives - and we’re excited about what will happen in 2022, too ๐Ÿ˜Š
