We added pixel text to Race Jam online, then Danni suggested tying the colors to your rank 👀 Rookie blues, amateur greens, and new colors as you climb. Small detail, but a fun way to make progression feel visible.
#racejam #gamedev #indiegames The Bacuda got its name from Jeff’s dad, a huge Nash Bridges fan. Jeff almost called it “Bubba,” but his dad said it needed something more unique.
So he came up with Bacuda.
And now it’s permanent Race Jam lore. 😅🏁
#racejam #racinggame #indiegames We started by discussing what happens when an online host leaves.
We ended with: “What if losing a race had a 1% chance of deleting System32?”
The true hardcore racing experience. 😭
No, we are not adding this.
Race Jam 1.0 is live now on Steam!
#racejam #gamedev #onlinegaming Cyber Rain appeared in online multiplayer and everyone got hyped… right before remembering we hadn’t tested it yet. 😅
“You’re telling me the untested map doesn’t work?”

#racejam #onlinegaming #gamedev JReal is developing Race Jam tech now 😅 Helly tight turns, spam drifts for multiple boosts, then stack a flawless boost with fire. We might need a full Gauntlet run using only JReal tactics. 🏁🔥

#racejam #speedrunning #racinggame We’re looking at adding online race standings and player names above health bars so it’s easier to see who’s ahead of you—and exactly who just passed or blew you up 😅🏁
Race Jam 1.0 is live now on Steam!
#racejam #onlinegaming #indiegames A player passed us, we panicked, and then we blew each other up. Second place still counts as winning when JReal is in the lobby 😅🏁

#racejam #racinggame #indiegames Race Jam battle pass? Nope 😅 Keeping one going would mean constantly pumping out content every few months. We’d rather focus on online racing, fixes, and making the game better.

#racejam #indiegames #gamedev Race Jam online started months ago with conversations about scoring, modes, and how different racing games handle online play. There isn’t one perfect blueprint, so we built what felt right for Race Jam 🏁

#racejam #onlinegaming #gamedev Race Jam monthly subscription? No. Battle pass? Also no. We’re here for arcade racing, online chaos, big crashes, and ridiculous multiplayer moments 😅🏁

#racejam #onlinegaming #indiegames Triassic Track has more trees than any Race Jam track we’ve ever built. Getting them in without wrecking the frame rate was a nightmare. There was screaming. Mostly “THE TREES!” 🌴😅

#racejam #gamedev #indiegames Online progression is coming together in Race Jam 🏁 Start as an Everyday Racer, earn points through online race actions, and climb through 30 total ranks. Jeff is tired. The code is powerful. 😅

#racejam #onlinegaming #indiegames We timed the new tracks to make sure the laps felt right. Then JReal showed up and started hitting under-a-minute laps within a day. Feels about right 😅🏁

#racejam #racinggame #leaderboards Race Jam 1.0 is live now on Steam! 🏁 Next up: new cars, bug fixes, and matchmaking so players can hit one button, find a race, and jump in. Step Two begins 😅
#racejam #onlinegaming #indiegames Race Jam multiplayer chaos: someone flipped the Viper, someone forgot the stunt controls, and everyone realized JReal was already so far ahead that first place had basically vanished 😅🏁

#racejam #onlinegaming #indiegames Launch week has been great and chaotic 🏁 We got the tracks set up, fixed surprise errors, and nearly have the final new cars ready. One car came in sideways, got rotated, then broke the wheels. Game dev! 😅

1.0 is live on Steam Thursday August 27th!

#racejam #indiegames #steamgame What should players do after finishing an online race? Spectate with different cameras? Mess with racers still on track? Definitely not instantly explode everyone… probably 😅

#racejam #indiegames #racinggame A great idea came up during our live Q&A: let AI racers use more of Race Jam’s full car lineup. With 30+ cars, races should have more variety, more personality, and more garage chaos 🏁
