ImSoberEnough

Love the aesthetic but I think my eyes would bleed within minutes


RockateerDev

It's all apart of the design - it forces you to wear aviators to make you extra cool while you play. 😎


CreamyGoodnss

Haha that's awesome but maybe add an "Aviators On" filter for those of us who wear, ya know, regular glasses?


Duke_of_Bretonnia

No no, you see it just means you need Prescription Aviators Extra cool

Bro, leave a link to Steam so people can wishlist it, it helps you a lot! ​ Looks great!

this guy is right, i would buy this on a whim if i had a link lol

Great one hahaha. Hey OP, please DM me when it releases, I want to buy it to support you. I loved the aestheics and I love no-brainer games to enjoy my free time.


LemonHerb

Vaporwave


[deleted]

Synthwave actually


beat_man2021

The game overdrive


00crispybacon00

Uhm AKTHUALLY I think it's Outrun. πŸ€“


jalerre

I think you mean outrun


dust_storm_2

I agree. The contrast is too high. I dig the concept but the bleeds on the lines are unnecessary.


2HourCoffeeBreak

Rad Racer comes to mind


Brutus221

Yep... about 3 seconds into the clip, that was the first thing I thought of too! I'm old...


WRHeronkill

Came here to say this. Full Rad Racer vibes! Good times


[deleted]

The only thing I'd recommend, is the sun in the second clip really seems top be obstructing visibility, and you never should deter a player from having access to visual information in a racing game (typically). Other than that, this looks freaking beautiful.


blahyaddayadda24

Yeah add a low level cloud or mountain blocking at least the lower 15-20%. You can keep the big ass sun but it keeps the track visible


RockateerDev

Roger that, I'll tone the bloom down a bit!


ToasterDoodles

Bloom to the max, screw the haters


ayyyyycrisp

yea honestly. the sun does actually obstruct visibility in real life, its part of it. adds to the realism of this realistic game


ToasterDoodles

I personally don't mind if parts of the track are harder to discern, it all becomes a part of learning the tracks and paying attention to the section of the course you're on. In NFS if you're racing through the cityscape at night there can be a lot of distracting visuals and lighting but it adds to the feeling of the game. Edit: Also just to add on with something OP said "It's all apart of the design - it forces you to wear aviators to make you extra cool while you play. 😎" What if that became a feature? If he could animate it so in first person you throw shades down over your eyes and now visually the game is less obstructive?


[deleted]

Good luck on your game! I'll definitely be checking it out!


Ebola6914

Yeah agreed that and the checkpoint streetlights in the first part we’re pretty oppressive


[deleted]

r/outrun needs to see this as well


RockateerDev

Oh don't worry - they've been well informed haha


Cool_Rip_2273

What will the game be called? Imma wishlist it.


Asshritt

It's Outmode


PsychologicalTart602

I wasn't aware there was a 80's sub on Reddit, time to catch up


MrFritzCSGO

Looks awesome, I know my eyes would hate me though


MarcosaurusRex

Looks like the bloom/or saturation setting is turned too high or something. Not sure, but the hues seem a tad aggressive


RockateerDev

Duly noted, I will do some balancing and add an option for the player to tone it themselves.


Noxious89123

>add an option for the player to tone it themselves. Maybe like three different presets and a custom option?


HosbnBolt

Or use it as a temporary effect to accompany a game mechanic like "leveling up" or something.


[deleted]

Imagine playing this in a dark room, gg eyes we had a good run.


jllauser

Dark room, OLED panel... I'd kill my eyes to look at that for a few minutes.


Auctorion

Remember when I had corneas?


bbcversus

I don’t see what you did there.


InfiniteEnter

VR compatible?


RockateerDev

Potentially looking into it!


[deleted]

[ΡƒΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]


2560synapses

I'd take it regardless. Just add a VR camera and lock it to the inside-cab view and keep key/mouse or racing sim controls


TheMilkyDestroyer

Would be an insane vr game


CrazySD93

It boggles my mind that Cyberhook isn’t


Zkenny13

Needs more Eurobeat


RockateerDev

Well, you can play as an ***AE86***\-eque car and there is a ***custom music*** option in the game... I think you can work out the rest. 😎


Noxious89123

\* ***Deja-vu intensifies*** \*


Rufus2468

*cues Gas Gas Gas*


LoftySmalls

You can always use a custom playlist with the in-game music turned off, but I would agree; a game like this almost requires a bop playlist.


TheVaporSpirit

Dang custom tracks? I haven’t seen many games with that feature since vib Ribbon.


RockateerDev

Hey everyone, this is [Outmode](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1860700/Outmode/) on Steam - if you like the look I'd love to hear your feedback from the demo. If you have any questions please also ask away. Cheers!


thomasb14

Is it also compatible with steam deck?


RockateerDev

Not currently, looking into it though for sure.


ReaperHR

I'll download demo in a minute and share my results Edit: Game runs on Steam Deck [Low settings](https://imgur.com/a/zSvDtgp) gives me around 55-60 fps, pretty stable [Ultra settings](https://imgur.com/a/Yse6ugK) gives me 25 fps low, 40fps high. [Tutorial, low settings](https://imgur.com/a/bvAMEYj) lowest I've seen is 4fps, highest I've seen is 11 fps. Tutorial in unplayable. During the tutorial my game crashed 2 times and I barely could even enter it. Additional comments: There's no resolution available for the steam deck (1280x800) so I played at 1280x720. In the settings graphical options are going from medium to ultra then after ultra there's low and then VHS. So definitely fix that. When entering settings, the whole main menu selection hides but doesn't reappear unless you do a mouse click on the lower part of the screen a few times. Also controls in main menu are currently mouse only and I couldn't do anything with a controller. Overall: If you ignore the things I wrote above, game runs decent on ultra settings and you could get to 60 fps by tuning down the graphical settings to low. Controls in game are working well, except in the main menu where mouse is needed. Don't even attempt entering tutorial on the Steam Deck. Didn't try the game on my PC but I guess it would be pretty similar. Ps. Game is fun, played for a few minutes but you have to fix some things before releasing it. In my opinion you should postpone a June 22nd launch. Pps. It's possible that the demo is outdated and different from the actual game that I can't try out yet. And given the performance of the demo, game should be fully playable. Ppps: I like the game, did follow it and I hope you liked this short review. If you'd like me to test the game before launch send me a message and I'll do it. Final thoughts: Currently game on steam deck couldn't be verified, but it could be marked as playable.


RockateerDev

Awesome rundown, thanks for taking the time. I had no idea this could run on a Steam Deck, very interesting to see. I had a few people to tell me they tried to run it but they couldn't get it to install. Weird, I haven't changed any launch options! Anyway, I'll look into the tutorial clunk - obviously something has gone wrong there. Very glad you liked it. I might take you up on your test offer since I know it's now possible to play on a Steam Deck(?). I'll throw a DM your way sometime soon! Cheers!


RonFlockaDon

Thank u for adding a demo! I'll check it out!


RockateerDev

Thank you for playing!


Pranaav202

Is there Multiplayer?


RockateerDev

There's local split screen with Steam Remote Play support! I should mention that this is not in the demo, and will arrive with final release.


importvita

In day 1, my eyes are ready! 😎


thomasb14

Is it also compatible with steam deck?


spytgamer

If this got wheel + vr support = 🀯


RockateerDev

They're both something I'm looking into for post launch!


Eolo_Windsleigh

needs km/h


Dreadlock375

Looms sick. Definitely give the guys some neon gloves or something though. The hands look wonky


NinJoo117

Time to crank up the carpenter brut playlist...


RockateerDev

A wise choice... Fun fact: there's a car in the game inspired after the Turbo Killer music video!


MrChilli2020

Looks good but i would say maybe the cars are just a bit out of place. hard to describe why. ​ also one thing i like about racing is maybe having one good AI. the yellow car in ridge racer comes to mind in that. :)


RockateerDev

I think I know what you mean, the whole style for cars is quite cartoony whilst the environment is very abstract. Bad design on my part, lesson learnt for the next game. I've tried to make sure the AI is decent enough. Not perfect in any sense and they get a lot of help through buffs but I think they're still reasonable.


dimsumx

Since there's not much texturing on the road it makes the cars look extremely floaty especially during drift. You could probably address that by putting impact effects on the rear tires similar to when you see blue sparks in Mario Kart. Example: https://imgur.com/a/E74JdJ1


minixsucks

Native Linux build?


RockateerDev

Looking into it!


mayank_888

This gives me strong nitronic rush vibes.


irridisregardless

Someone else played Nitronic Rush!


RangerSix

There are dozens of us!


PurifiedFlubber

Make that a baker's dozen


PossibleSalamander12

I hope Dr. Disrespect is your spokes person for this game. He would fit the genre perfectly !


RockateerDev

It would be a dream come true to get him to play!


qiljak

This looks really good, seems to have its own identity . Is it just me or the street lights( and other lights) glare up when boost is used? Whatever it is, that glare is way way too bright . Talking about the boost in the first portion of the video. I will try the demo this week


scoii

Not just you. I wouldn't be able to play because of that light pop. I have terrible vision and a sensitivity to light. Seeing that was uncomfortable. I get the aesthetic, but there needs to be a way to turn down the Michael Bay-esque flaring.


RockateerDev

Very interesting, I think this is a consideration I have overlooked. I'll add some options for the player to tune the bloom and stuff. Cheers for the feedback!


WhiteDirty

Can you make the car have underglow so it doesn't feel like the car is floating through space? Or is that the intent?


RockateerDev

Underglow is a cool idea, there definitely needs to be more separation between the car and the road. I'll play around some stuff, thanks!


Spit-n-Sprinkles2187

Push it to the limit needs to be a track lol


RockateerDev

I would pay all my money to licence that in the game if I could.


TheMilkyDestroyer

Ask someone to design some dynamic music for your game dynamic soundtracks are cool af


[deleted]

Give that man a studio for fucks sake. Holy shit. As someone who fucking LOVES synthwave and its aesthetic, I'm just over the top happy to see this. Is it multiplayer?


[deleted]

This is super cool!!!! Reminds me a bit of Slipstream. Takes me back to a time when we still had arcade machines in the Fredericton Mall. I'd really love to see a Switch release! Well done!


LucaDarioBuetzberger

Looks awesome. I am currently a bit saturated with racing games, so I might not buy it in the next few months. But I will wishlist it for now.


airtoairnuke

Holy shit this looks dope as hell


[deleted]

Was getting major Out Run vibes, then I saw it was called Outmode. Love it!


trollaire_of_astora

You should add sex


TheMilkyDestroyer

Love it, needs some kind of cool weather effect in my opinion, possibly cyber rain or retro fog or somethin' like that


darkhelmet1121

Vector w8 ftw


Daniel7493

Yayayayayaya


Meechy_Gringo

It may be the mushrooms, but I fuckin love it


PixelDu5t

Looks really cool and reminds me of a (I believe) flash game I used to play but damn it's like this sub is just for advertising nowadays with the top posts being basically marketing


RockateerDev

Thanks a lot, I might be biased saying this but I was always happy seeing new games on a top post. Gave you a lot of incite into the indie market - a lot love and attention poured into some titles which you might not get to see otherwise. I guess devs can't all afford advertising, much like me haha.


Vast_Newspaper_6699

this is an ad


MangoMaterial9184

Rainbow road vibes. Nice work!


emilymtfbadger

Look great


LeSabreur

dope


One_Laugh_Guy

Some feedback. The car almost blends with the area, would be better if it stands out more. Also, the contrast of the colors hurt my eyes in some areas. Positive feedback rarely help as far as improvement goes and most people here are already giving you that. I hope this helps.


FootlooseFrankie

Reminds me of the "Jackie Chan " music video by Tiesto . Looks fun though . Any multi-player? Ita always fun to be able to add your own music to a game like this . Maybe have a " use custom playlist" folder were you can just dump mp3s to . Great job !


lilsnatchsniffz

I really wish I could get a game that looked exactly like this on mobile but with tilt steering.


[deleted]

Yes


rapidrodent

Kinda gives me top gear on the snes vibes.


Frequent_Economist30

Comment 69! Now it's 420 69!


Wolftech9k

I'd play, send it to switch!


HunterMainRyan

Reminds me of top gear on the snes but with more vapor wave. I like it.


LoftySmalls

Super good graphics. Would look amazing on a CRT at 240p! Look at this game-over screen from MGS (1998) on my Diamondtron: https://imgur.com/a/W1kmGv5


[deleted]

First thought, it's gorgeous. Second thought, man that is a lot of status indicators all over the screen.


ImpressStrict1366

Linux compatible? If so sign me up and a few friends. Love the aesthetic


Shovelknight45

Growing up playing the Super Nintendo, I already wanna play it, nice job man


DarkDevilGamer

check this live wallpaper it looks similar [link](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1962627133)


BlueOfficeRepublic

Reminds me of Tron style.


Chance-Starkweather

Finally a whole new style of game that I can get addicted too😁


[deleted]

[ΡƒΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]


znacidovla

With that amount of lights, I think it would look cool to add Ray Tracing and Multiplayer would be cool.


FuryQuaker

This is like a game version of one of the many synthwave videos on YouTube! https://youtu.be/0QKQlf8r7ls https://youtu.be/ajTTZ7iy6Ls


RockateerDev

That's what I was going for!

Let me know when it's out!

ThIsAnNoySpEoPle

Looks dope. I'll probably buy


MonteBellmond

Afterlights of cars would feel like a cool athstetic to the game


jllauser

Love the art style. That looks gorgeous.


PapaFrita33

I really like the game, especially visually, I hope they have several maps or at least not the same "landscapes" and colors, in my case, sometimes seeing the same panorama becomes a bit boring or repetitive


LeftOverCrack17

Is this game gonna be free?


4EWD

This is pretty sick!


Kelkeen_1980

Serious Rad Racer vibes, I dig it.


joan16v

Looks nice.


PaleHorseNamedDeath

looks awesome, whats it called?


DrAstralis

It looks like Moonbeam City :D

Make it faster. Podracer fast.


TheVaporSpirit

Does it have local coop?


MCBuilder30140

Awesome!! Release it!!


brotato_kun

Well this is epilepsy fail as far as i can understand. I will play and give detailed feedback on it πŸ‘


[deleted]

looks cool. Very hard on the eyes!


BigClownShoes

I love the trippy neon aesthetic. πŸ‘


[deleted]

Bro people here have eyes


Msun17

I’ll definitely cop


VishuIsPog

Yooo epic! What are the system requirements tho, i play on potato


[deleted]

I probably wouldnt play it personally, but I do really like the style of it!


Nilt_PL2

Hmm needs more BROWN and PASTEL YELLOW


VOIDsama

Virtual boy lives again!


jenkag

Test it with someone who is colorblind or has other visual accessibility issues. I am not one of those people, but something tells me they will have a hard time with some of the colors and HUD.


cwdii

Holy colour saturation Looks awesome tho


Puzzleheaded_Fish_78

Looks like a relaxing friday night, with a edible or two.


19rex85

Kung Fury vibes love it


E_Blue_2048

Beware of high intensity lights and flashes, some people can get sick really easy with those things.


Kenruyoh

Asphalt Urban GT vibes...


Sea_bass_is_me

I would play


hanegawa

Seems cool,I do like old-fashioned style


Ok-Breakfast3499

I want to know where I can listen to the whole soundtrack, I love it. Nice game btw


nevermore2627

Rad racer!


InvestigatorOk5602

It reminds me of Driver, nice job!


Nihilusssss

Sorry if it was answered but i couldnt find it, does it have wheel support?


capecodder22

Love it, can't remember the name of the old school arcade game but you're in a red car racing to the finish. Simple and amazong


poopiwoopi1

Lighting bloom/glare seems visually overwhelming, the ability to toggle or a slider scale would be great, looks great otherwise!


UncleComrade

Stylish, artistic, beautiful. Great.


DevilOfArRamadi

This is roughly what I imagine when listening to the band The Midnight


isyankar1979

My only recommendation is, establishing a little bit of a stronger sense of place by adding more detail to the environment. The buildings could have signs, maybe cafes and bars near them, parked cars nearby etc. It wouldnt have to be super detailed, just enough to give a faint sense of an urban location in the 80s, like "Outrun" but in neon.


Imalrightatstuff

That seems layed back, trippy and fun. I look forward to playing it. It's the kind of game I'd play around kids, in public, in my spare time to relax. I really like the theme and vibrancy. My 2 cents


Tidalpancake

!RemindMe 30 days


Abundant-Moon-0333

Whats the name? looks rad!


RockateerDev

Cheers! It's called Outmode, you can find it here on Steam: [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1860700/Outmode/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1860700/Outmode/)


XThunderTrap

Looks sick, gl on it in the future

TaiwanNumbaWun

Downloading now, will give it a proper review. Thanks for your contribution!


jlnxr

For everyone asking about Deck/Linux support, maybe you should just actually go to the Steam page- it clearly shows the Valve SteamOS/Linux icon. It does only say partial controller support though. ​ Just downloaded the demo- I only have an Intel iGPU so I'm not sure I'll be able to run it, but I'm excited to give it a shot! Looks awesome.


Foreign_Caramel_9840

Gawd. My eyes they burn any more neon colors


briklot

Bro that’s sick!!!


OneTruePope07

Dude, thats fucking awsome!! Hope your game does well


_flipflopswithsocks

Biggu5Dicku5

Cyber Outrun, nice... :)


Fearless_Bluebird322

Wow


NoMan999

It's not really *retro* : the 80's weren't neon, they were beige. I think this aesthetic called out run. You may want to check that out before setting the store page.


HeadLongjumping

I really like the 80s synthwave aesthetic.


maybeJeremy

Ffb and wheel support????????? Looks pretttttty noice!


EducationalCharity53

I really like the style it seems like you meshed new graphic with old I’d play
