The Past 6 Months ⏳
👤 Characters
We've reworked two of our characters and we've added two additional characters from different tribes. For each of the now four Characters there are multiple skin options.
✋ Godhands
We've improved the existing god hands and added the Godhands of the «wood» and «tech» tribe.
🚙 New Levels
We've fine-tuned the «poison» level to make it a bit more readable. The new «wood» and «tech» levels are a work in progress and they already work quite well. With the «wood» level we’re also testing the option of a lab based level, which is actually quite fun. We hope to test that with you soon. 🙂 For the «wind» level we also created have a first concept, but gameplay wise its not yet there we want it to be.
🌐 Online Multiplayer
The online multiplayer is now working and supports up to 8 players!🥳 We had to rewrite a lot for that but finally we managed to have a working state on which we can build up. We already could reimplement the whole game loop and some items in the game. And we had very early testing phases with more than 4 players, which was really cool! 😄
🎉 Lobby Area
Instead of only a menu we've now added an interactive lobby area where you can drive around, explore the meachanics, switch characters and join or create games.
✨User Interface
We're working on a new UI which is all about helping players navigate through the game with ease and better understand where they are on the screen and how they’re doing in the game.
🍿 Trailer
Apart from all the game development, we have also put a lot of work in creating a new trailer. It’s not yet fully done but we will share that with you as soon as it’s finished 🙂
💯 Events
This year we also had the chance to visit the GDC in San Francisco with our studio and in about two weeks we will be part of the Indie Area at Gamescom. So if you’re there, come by and say hello 😊 👋
If you want to see more join our Discord and check out the #dev-diary channel.
See you!

"TIME TRIAL" - the second playtest is here.
We love it!
This month it's all about placing items and modifying the track. The latest playtest is already available for you to play on Steam. Read on to find out how you can take part and get a chance to win one of two Steam Keys.
We need your help with placement!
During tests at fairs and with our friends, we noticed that many players find it difficult to place the items precisely in the level. Since the placement is a main component of the final gameplay loop, we want to improve it.
When you start the playtest you can choose three items from a predefined set of shortcut items like ramps, platforms or rails. Then you can place them freely in the level. Then it's off to the races and you can try to beat the time record of 20 seconds.
Of course, thanks to your feedback on the driving experience, we have made some changes to the player controller itself. This includes: turning when standing still, a snappier (and higher) jump, stronger burst-like boosts and small transition times when entering and exiting a drift. This is by no means final, and we're still tweaking some numbers. It's all about the game feel baby!
One of these changes - the higher jump - also have some deeper impacts on our level design and level modification mechanic!
How to join?
It's simple, join our Discord by clicking on the image above or here: https://discord.gg/BrvnXvcHp6
Apply for the role of Champion of Qa in the Chanel “get-your-role-here”. After a few minutes you will receive a playtest key by mail.
Give feedback and win a Steam key? How?
In fact, it's quite simple. After you're done with the playtest, go back to our Ultimate Godspeed Discord. There you've received the role of 🦸Champion of Qa automatically. You now have access to our QA channels.
The playtest and the chance to win a Steam Key ends in a two weeks time on Saturday, 13 August.
First chance to win a Steam key:
In the channel 💬︱champions-feedback you can tell us what you noticed while playing. The more detailed the better!
How did it feel to place the items? Did you figure out the controls quickly? Were you able to place the items as you wanted? Did you understand what the individual items are good for? Were you able to use the items you placed in the race?
All champions who leave feedback will be entered into a draw to win a Steam key for the release of Ultimate Godspeed.
Second chance to win a Steam key:
Another opportunity to win a Steam key is to complete our monthly challenge. This month's challenge is: Can you beat 20 seconds?
No problem? Good! Once you have managed to beat the time record of 20 seconds, take a screenshot of your winning screen. Then post it in the channel 🥇︱champions-challenge. We will then raffle off a key among all the screenshots.
Extra honorary points for the fastest champion!😉
If you win a key, you will receive it at the release of Ultimate Godspeed to the email address you entered.
Which champions won the last playtest?
In the feedback category, nicole 🐇🍵 won the draw.
In the Monthly Champions Challenge, it was Alpha2749 who won the draw.
Congratulations! 🎉
You will receive a key for the full game in your email when Ultimate Godspeed is released.
Once again, a big thank you to all the champions who help us playtest Ultimate Godspeed. Your feedback is crucial for us in the further development of the game.
We are curious what you think about the playtest TIME TRIAL and how low you can push the time record display.
Godspeed!
