The fact that Exo Rally Championship is my no.3 played game this year and its a playtest build should hopefully say a lot about how incredible that game is!

The Reckoning Update is almost here, but needs a bit more attention from our dev team. The release is slightly delayed - think hours, not days.
We’ll announce the moment it’s live. Meanwhile, you can watch the trailer for the update here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=khq5...
Thanks for your patience!

A while back I started a possible entry into Quake Brutalist Jam #3. It was a compact concrete cube based on the works of sculptor David Umemoto. It looked kinda cool but I couldn't work out good gameplay (too many stairs). Abandoned for now, might revisit... #quake #quakeart #qbj3
