"Ring Racer" will release on November the 3rd on Steam with support for Windows, MacOS and SteamDeck (via Proton).
It features a revamped graphics engine with real HDR rendering and modern post processing.
Furthermore there's now a practise mode (notime limit and no damage, but also no level progress) and you can enable a "ghost mode" that records your best time. This is a usefull feature to master the tracks and avoid mistakes.
This version will also be released to Nintendo Switch in the coming weeks.
Here's the link to the Steam Page
]]>Discovery has been released to Oculus Go and Oculus Quest in the meantime.
Apart from that I've released another game called "Ring Racer", a SciFi-fly-racer for Nintendo Switch.
You can get it here for just 5$:

Hey all!
After another 6 months of hard work we're proud to announce that Discovery will be released for the Nintendo Switch™ console in North America and Japan on May, the 24th. Europe and Australia are following on May, the 31th.
It will be available as a Nintendo eShop title for $7.99/€7.99/800Yen.
The internal game's version number is jumping to 2.5. This version adds support for material shaders that enable to create modern looking materials like reflecting glass, metals, etc. Also it adds support for bump-mapping and other techniques that are known from today's games.
As the Nintendo Switch is known to be a family console, we also implemented a splitscreen-multiplayer. Up to 4 players can play the game in tabletop or docked mode. Currently you can't play with only one Joy-Con™ per player, but we're trying to find a way to make that possible.
So get your family and friends together and have fun building crazy things!

Discovery and Block Builder DX (that's how it is called in Japan) are released now. We're quite satisfied with the release and are already working on the first update that focuses on improving the VR experience by adding a lot of settings to adapt to your personal VR skills. E.g. we're adding additional rotation modes, configurable move speed and a VR vignette to avoid motion sickness. Furthermore there are some materials and a new "Quick Pick" action, that let's you pick a material straight from the world instead of selecting it in the material belt or the material browser. It's a small change that greatly improves the general gameplay (meaning also non-VR). You can see some of the stuff in the following video. Please make sure to follow me on Twitter for more up-to-date news.
]]>We're proud to announce that Discovery will be released on PS4 in the US on November, the 7th.
It will be available as a PlayStation Store title for $11.99.
One of the key differences of the PS4 release is that we have implemented full support for PS VR.
Jump into Virtual Reality and experience your block world as if you were there with incredible 360 degrees immersion.
Apart from that we have also implemented Online Multiplayer to the game with up to 4 players.
We're also going to release in european countries as well as in Japan (over our publisher Rainy Frog LLC).
Release dates will be published later this month.
As always, we're already working on the first update for the game that is planned to contain the following features:
- PlayStation Move support.
- Additional 3rd person view for PS VR.
- Local cooperative mode (One player at PS VR the other one on TV, split-screen).
- New materials to build with.
So get creative! We're eager to see what you will build, alone or with your friends!
