hey it's finally done? because now it isn't a beta anymore, but turned into a demo . played this yesterday evening with a couple of friends and it's loads of fun :P. One minor thing: could it be possible to set the turbo/shift thingie to a different key? my friends all had trouble pressing wasd and shift at the same time (they suck at this game haha).
good luck!
I tried using a controller with that, a simple PS-controller-copy-ripoff thingy from Saitek.
It worked quite alright, rebound the button mappings in the settings menu, it worked quite alright.
We have controller support. You can bind controller keys in the settings menu.
We are moving the beta over to people who pre-order, and the current beta is reverting to a demo build. Pre-Orders are supposed to be up sometime this morning but I am not sure exactly when.
Starting today, Zero Gear is available for pre-order! Players who pre-order will get 25% off the price of the game, as well as immediate access to the beta version! Visit the Zero Gear product page for pricing information. Zero Gear is slated for release on January 12th, 2010. Stay tuned for more release information in the weeks ahead, including a 4 package deal!
Also included in the latest beta update (which you can access by pre-order), is a new goal mode map, Hoops.
A special thanks goes out from us here at NimbleBit to everyone who has helped us beta testing the game. We hope you will pre-order and continue to be the foundation of the Zero Gear player community!
Having a great time w/ this guys! I almost like playing Kickit more than racing! Future support for a USB controller would be great - playing with an xbox controller on pc would rock.
