How do you make a pretzel in a game? A trefoil knot! 🥨 x = sin(t) + 2sin(2t) z = cos(t) - 2cos(2t) y = sin(3t), so the pipe lifts where it crosses and never hits itself. Math is just baking with more steps. :)

My track IRON PRETZEL had no pretzel in it 🥨 My track builder kept giving it loops. Today it got a real one, the last stunt before the finish line. Left: old. Right: new. Hyper Pipes demo is in Steam Next Fest, Oct 19! #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame #racinggame #NextFest

Two top-down maps of the Iron Pretzel race track, cyan lines on purple. Left: the old lap, with three pink stunts (a loop, a double loop and a camelback). Right: the new lap. One loop is gone, and a big gold pretzel knot sits at the top-left corner.

Thank you! I was going for a 90s wipEout techno feel. The soundtrack is all done and it's just how I like it. Means a lot coming from you! :) Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! 🙌 The free demo is on Steam now, and the full game comes out around 7 December. I'd love to hear what you think after you try it! Thanks. :)

Great question! A bit of both. The camera aims ahead on the track, not at the ship, and the view widens with speed. The high camera sees furthest over the crest, and the minimap shows the next bends. But reading the pipe is part of the skill, like a blind crest in rally! :)

Once again, I must thank you. :)

P.S. I started to learn C# and Unity around 2012, and moved to Godot after the Unity thing. 🙂 HYPERPIPES is a Godot game. #godotengine

HYPERPIPES on Steam

Race the OUTSIDE of the pipe. Gravity pulls you around the tube, so holding the top is the whole skill. Every track is grown from a seed, so no two are the same. Draft, boost, shoot and climb six leag...

It started 10 years ago as BeefCakePie's game in Microsoft's Project Spark: youtu.be/9v3kKDjeAQY I have a day job. I work on the game before work, do my 8 hours, then work on it until bed. A huge learning curve for an old fart. 😄

In the alpha days I brought the game to work. I watched two young brothers fight over the controller for one more race. So I added couch mode for two players. That moment is the big reason HYPERPIPES is going to Steam. ❤️

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I'm new here, and back on social media after a few years away. I'm over 50, and with a lot of help from my partner, I'm making HYPERPIPES: a neon racer where you race on the OUTSIDE of the pipe. We started it for fun. Here is how it grew. 🧵
