We are running all the game servers in our London datacentre. Hopefully not to many issues for players in North America and Asia. We hope to move North America and Asia servers to their respective regions soon.
Do expect some lag issues. It helps if you only connect to game servers that you are located near to.

Have fun, leave a review, give us feedback on the forum.
See you in game racers!

Jack,

20th December Release Date!



It has been a busy few months here at Project Torque HQ. With the help of several people we have finally passed Steam verification and have a release date set for the 20th of December.
If we can release a few days earlier, we will.

It has taken quite a bit of work to get to this stage, and we know you all have been waiting a long time to get the full game released on Steam.

We would like to thank everyone who played during the open and closed beta. Your valuable feedback on the game, economy and physics has been noted and hopefully we can fix all the issues you have brought up.

Backers of the crowdfund should receive keys that will gift them their rewards. We will be giving out GP and Boosters, with other rewards being made available when they are available.

Please do go add the game to your Steam wish list. You will get notified when we release the game.

Delayed release

Due to a delay with the billing system and Steam, we are delaying release to early November.
We are sorry about this but we will keep Open Beta online till a few days before the Steam release date.

Open Beta download is here https://community.projecttorque.racing/threads/open-beta-weekend.199/#post-1814

Beta will start soon. Public release soon after.

New forum and Contract signing!

Before I go into detail about contract. We have set up a dedicated forum for the community. It is 100x better than Steam forum so go use it. You login with Steam so it is not like you are having to sign up for something.

https://community.projecttorque.racing/




We will be signing the contract tomorrow between us (the publisher) and Invictus Games (the owner and developer of PT).

Invictus has asked me to make it clear that the game code from their point of view is "considered to be unmaintainable" in terms of development and that "any further development based on the existing codebase as a high-risk financial operation".
The agreement between us and Invictus does state that they will deliver a working game but there will probably be some bugs.

I don't believe this will stop us working on the game and I have every intention on improving the game once we get going, even if it is slow, costs money, etc.
All of our revenue share will be put back into the game to make it better.

If you would like a refund, now is your last chance.
Reply to the invoice email to obtain a refund. Refunding your pledge will remove you from the backers list, early access beta and all rewards.
Refunds will need to be requested before 13:00 28/08/19 UTC


Crowdfund goal reached!

MASSIVE thank you to everyone who was involved.
No only did we reach our target, but we also broke the target and went over.



To all those that donated, thank you.
To all those who shared the crowdfund, thank you too.

Without all of you this would have just been a dream.

Now we get to work with Invictus, bring back the game and get racing again in one of the best MMO Racing games ever made.

We expect the work to take between 2 and 4 weeks.
Once ready, crowdfund backers will get a few days early access to test the game out and to make sure everything works and is stable.

Once the testing is done. We will open up for public release.

Again, thank you all for your support.
We will see you on the track soon!

PS, crowdfund will end Monday 12th of August. You have till then to donate at $5 or more to get into early access.



Crowdfund is 75% funded in 7 days! Official word from Invictus Games

Thank you to everyone who has supported the crowdfund by pledging or sharing the crowdfund around.
Within 7 days we reached 75% funded!



Invictus has also posted publicly about the team and what we are doing, https://www.facebook.com/invictusgames/posts/2668547003179373

If you have not pledged yet, please do!
Once we hit 100% we will close the crowdfunding so you won't be able to get onto the early access or the rewards if you have yet to donate.

We are only a few days away from this so don't wait around!

Crowdfund is live!

Months of working on deals, building the community and getting our Steam and Discord store pages ready have come down to the final hurdle.

Today we launch our crowdfunding campaign on our website!

You can back the project and get varying levels GP and XP/RP boosters in return as well as exclusive cars, car paints and more.
Oh and early access.

In total, we need to raise $10,000 for the publishing rights to the game.
(we are already 20% the way there)
This includes source code so we can improve the game and hopefully integrate into Steam and Discord with open ID.

We will also be working on improving the graphics and general performance on modern gaming systems.
In the future, if the game does well we would like to add new features such as new game modes including Rally and Competitive.

But we can only do this with your support.
Please back our crowdfunding campaign today. The sooner we raise the full amount the faster you get to play the game again!

Thank you all for adding the game to your wish list.
Don't forget to check out our Facebook and Discord too!
