This is FASTER, a brand new super-fast and silky-smooth 2.5D racing game built from the ground up for the Atari STE using modern tools, techniques and knowledge.
1st place in the Silly Venture 2024 WE Atari ST/STE games competition, ever since we have been following dev on this via social media, and I can honestly say what a stunning achievement.
- 50 frames per second racing action on an 8MHz Atari STE
- 15+ large, full-colour sprites on screen drawn by Blitter chip
- 30+ colours on screen from enhanced STE palette
- Full 24 hour day/night cycle
- Simultaneous digital engine noise, sound effects and YM soundtrack
- Screen shaking effect courtesy of STE hardware scrolling
Don’t expect endless game modes, achievements, tutorials or cutscenes – this is pure, unfettered and uncomplicated 1980’s-style arcade action.
Please note that the game is freely distributable and I don’t ask for any money. The most important thing to me is that people enjoy the game and spread the word! Following my socials is great, but if you can post playthroughs or reviews of the game on Twitter, YouTube, community forums etc, that would be particularly appreciated!
