Hello friends we have updated the store with more screenshots to show what the game is like. We will be posting gameplay soon and showing off our updated UI concepts in the future before release. The Steam Team reccomended we updated our screenshots to show more gameplay.
Alternate Release Info. Please Read! (How do you feel about this?)
Hello all, here is an update for everyone. Valve still hasn't approved the release of Wangan Warrior X..... seems they are nitpicking every little thing about the game, while games like Fidget Spinner 2018 (that spam achievements mind you) get put on the store everyday full of bugs.. (shrug)
What do you mean by alternate release?
Since Valve is being a pain for what seems no reason, I want to still get the game out as soon as possible. So I'll be providing an "alternate release" meaning I'm going to post Wangan Warrior X on GameJolt, Itchi.io, and GOG. You will be able to purchase the game there and play it all you want on a DRM free version that will differ a bit from the Steam version.
What about the Steam Release?
Once Valve finally approves Wangan Warrior X for release the Steam version will be posted to you all and another announcement will be made regarding this.
Do I have to purchase Wangan Warrior X twice?
Simple answer. NO. Upon purchasing via GameJolt, Itch.io, or GOG you should be provided with a receipt, invoice number, order number, or some other valid proof of the transaction. All you need to do is send this proof of purchase in to our email support@wanganwarriorx.com with your Steam profile link. Once we've confirmed your purchase with one of the digital distributors we will provide you with a Wangan Warrior X key for Steam that is immediately redeemable (but not yet playable until release day). This means as soon as you get your key from us (within 24-48 hours of submitting purchase proof) you can redeem your key on Steam and Wangan Warrior X will be in your game library ready to play on the day of official release.
Disclaimer
All purchase proofs and Steam Keys are recorded in real time using a system that I input data into manually. This system will notify me of any charge-back or refunds from the digital distributors. In addition, any attempts to sell keys on gray market sites like G2A will immediately be blacklisted and you will not receive a refund for attempting to resell digital goods that you do not have the rights to.
So how do you feel about this decision? I'd like to know your thoughts. This decision was made with community members who gave me the idea.
I hope everyone is okay with this decision i the meantime. The game's price will be the same price it would be on Steam with the launch discount. (9ish dollars USD) If you have any concerns please voice them here and I will address them. If there is a different digital distributor you'd prefer WWX to release on, please also voice that here. Hope everyone has a great day and can't wait to release WWX for you guys!
Valve Is Being A Pain 🙄 - Stand By
I've got some messages from you guys so I've decided to post this announcement instead of leaving you wondering.
No, Wangan Warrior X isn't being delayed for a couple of months, it should only be a couple of days. I removed the release date for a reason.
To keep things short, Steam keeps denying the build for the main game. I won't go into details as I am under an NDA but I am in contact with Steam via email to sort out this problem as the main game shouldn't be getting denied while the demo was approved.
In the meantime since the demo was approved I will release the demo separately so the game can be tested and played while I sort this problem with Steam regarding the main game. The demo is essentially the main game except it has about 10% progression, not as many cars unlocked, limited options, etc which should be good enough for the couple of days that this problem will take up.
If you have any concerns about this you can reach myself or a moderator directly via our Discord!
Release Delayed
Hi all,
I decided to delay the release of Wangan Warrior X due to a problem I found with it's sister game Jidousha Shakai. The game's share the same code base and so this problem is reflected across both games. It mainly has to do with the file structure and persistent settings/user data that can get corrupted or improperly written in the game's memory. This is obviously bad as saving corrupt files will lead to lost progress or no progress saved at all. The file system is a bit old in that I wrote it years back, so, I decided instead of fixing a possible defective system I will instead rewrite it based on a different structure that is common with games like Skyrim and Fallout. The delay is reflected on the release date of the game on the store page. The release date will be updated based on when the system is done and how soon Steam staff can approve the build. I will keep everyone updated on if this changes. Sorry for not bringing this up sooner.
Sincerely,
Nikko

Wangan Warrior X - The Vision + In-Game Money Bonus!! (Read Below)
Hello any current or potential owners! I'd like to fill you guys in on what Wangan Warrior X is.
The Vision
I created Wangan Warrior X a long time ago as part of my journey into racing games. I learned some lessons and also some gained some worthwhile knowledge when making it. It is indeed a full game and I originally didn't intend for a release because I wanted to create something bigger and open-world (which is my other game Jidousha Shakai). While making Jidousha Shakai, I decided to port back my physics and graphics advances to see what WWX would be like. I decided to keep it and fix the game up a little bit because it seemed worthy as it's own release. The physics have been dialed in with the accuracy of my other game but are a little more arcade to suffice for more casual users. The graphics are directly borrowed from my other game too, so it will indeed look very similar.... however! The game's are very different.
The game
Enter Wangan Warrior X. A faithful recreation of Japanese cabinet racing games with a more modern-realistic approach. I've taken the best features from popular cabinet games and combined them into one game that I think is fit for it's own legacy. The whole game is meant for it's sense of speed as you reach speeds of 320 KM/h on fictional and non-fictional Japanese highways.
Money Bonus
For any of those who own Jidousha Shakai, you will get 1 million YEN (in-game currency) when creating a profile for the first time. Any new profiles you create will also receive this bonus but it can not be stacked. That's a good amount of starting money to get you on your feet and you deserve it for supporting both of our titles! If you buy the Racer Bundle that includes Jidousha Shakai and Wangan Warrior X then you get both games for a great price and starting bonuses on BOTH games! What a deal :)
Jidousha Shakai Owners
This game is completely finished and in no way is a hinderance to the timeline of Jidousha Shakai as all main features and gameplay are complete. Jidousha Shakai is still being developed and will remain in early access until it is ready.
Wangan Warrior X Owners
This game is intended to be a full, completed game. However if there are features you'd like included or new things then I am completely open to adding them in! Just because it's not in Early Access doesn't mean you can't get cool new features still. :)
