🔎[SHOWCASE] This Upcoming Indie Racing Game Brings Back That 90s Arcade Feel

Racing games are getting a new addition this year. It's an indie title solo-developed and published by Daniel Dorotik that promises to revive the spirit of the 16-bit legends and give them a vibrant modern visual style.

The game in question is called Nitrania, an indie 90s-style arcade grip racer with 1-4 player local split-screen and is coming to Steam.

Instead of making another racing game with complicated mechanics and set-ups, he created an easy to pick up title where the only thing that matters is reaction speed.

Floor that pedal and time your nitro to leave your rivals in the dust.

🤔What is Nitrania about?

While many modern racers revolve around drifting, this one is all about Grip and Momentum. The handling model is designed for instant fun.

Alongside a single-player campaign, Nitrania brings back the true social magic of living-room gaming - when couch play was king.

Racing in Nitrania has a deeper purpose. In each race, you earn Points both from your finishing position and from what you collect on the track (one shared pool). Those Points drive two key roles - short-term strategy and long-term progression.

Tired of opponents that magically catch up? Forget so-called rubber-banding (artificial opponent speed boosts).

Nitrania is a passion project made by one person. My goal was to create a game that plays like the legends of the 90s, but looks like a modern animated film.
