About

Earn XP from racing different race lengths and Damage Level multiplying your XP. Just that One More Round is needed to finish up top. Be careful of the inside line not having much grip and the grass is very slippery.

Work In Progress - Ongoing Balance/Tuning bug fixes and new features as title is still in development. Although not new to game development as a hobbyist, I'm a solo developer, hence this is my first ever game release and gamejam.

AI was only slightly used for some of the textures. Everything was coded by myself.

S&box 500 is a Motorsport racing game based on the very dangerous era of the 80's and 90's. This is a long term project starting with Open Wheel Racing and one track. Other disiplines and many tracks are to follow (Street, Circuit/Road, Oval and Stock Cars etc.). Multiplayer will be worked on at a later date.
