Sure you can! You need to fly really low though.

Thank you so much guys for every single word - we need both encouraging (for morale boost) and criticism (so our heads won't stuck high in the clouds)! The works are going forward. We managed to get some interesting people into our team!

[RetroBones]

We'd like to announce that Mr. Gary Winnick, former LucasArts art department supervisor on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure, co-creator of Maniac Mansion and Thimbleweed Park, as well as having worked on such iconic games as Rescue on Fractalus!, Defenders of Dynatron City and Star Wars, has decided to join our team!

You can visit his page and see his works for yourself: http://www.garyart.net/

Mr. Winnick will focus on the concepts, as well as creating some image art for VergeWorld project. To have such a game dev legend with us is an honor! Welcome aboard!

Woah. That's nice...

I made a voxel game a few year ago and having a good artist is make or break. Congrats.... plus Rescue on Fractalus was awesome.

That is amazing news! Gratz!

Just accidentally stumbled upon this again...seems these guys went from Amiga 1st to Megadrive, N64...and finally PC "roguelite racing" "coming soon" on Steam (but that demo was 2 years ago...).

Wow...quite a trajectory

The cynic in me would say that they mopped up interest in the 'retro market' before releasing a retro-ish game on Steam. That being said it doesn't look half-bad

So, what your saying is there's no Amiga version
Quite a bloody journey- pity no Miggy version- ah well...

Quite a lot of work just to muster up ‘some’ interest, the same cynic looking sideways at Bitbeamcannon!?

I just think they had they initial plans, but maybe interest wasn’t as high as they thought, and they then tried other platforms too, maybe their ambitions and thoughts of 000’s sales weren’t realistic and went back to the safest bet of developing for a PC platform.

I don't mind platform-changing all that much, but their style of making these wild jumps and not saying anything at all to the interested parties is a bit of a poor show.

Also, the PC game has not been released yet, it's been 2 years since the demo, so...next stop, PS6 & Switch 2?

I'm sure they'll release the 'full retro version' soon after they finish the PC game, because it says so on the Steam page.

I hope they'll finish both versions soon, but let's just say that my optimism died in Babylonian times
