It's about time that I checked the analytics for this game. I wasn't bothered going through tabs of what is achieved since I'm unfamiliar with the interface of itch.io for quite a while after listing this game. Highway Warriors 2 has went way overboard from what I achieved on GameJolt, and this gave me a clue on why this project started popping up on search suggestions. I was expecting to be only about 1k people inputting this game's name on search bars, but no, it's way more than I expected. The easiest explainable source of exposure is my friend @TommyRBXL (twitter), who is another game developer making a racing game of the same aspect as this one apart from the art style, he has quite a big following and offered me to promote my game on their server. I really didn't expect a lot of people to be interested in this game considering that this doesn't have those fancy realistic visuals like blackbody radiation, metallic flakes, and all that sort of things, but it somehow got people into playing it at least once. The reason why I doubted about this project for now is because the demo is flawed, and considering that there are other cel-shaded racing games already. I thank everyone who has helped pushed this game.

Since you're reading this, here's a spec of progression taken from Discord and Twitter.

(New cars, not all shown)

(The Tokyo C1 Loop being developed)

(RPG elements like you'd seen on that one Dreamcast game, and more)

New car physics are also being implemented since the current one feels sluggish and unstable in terms of response (unable to brake on some occasion for example). Extended customisation is also being developed (i.e. engine swapping, changing drivetrains, fine-tuning, etc) as well as a lot more cars as you wanted. More showcases to be found on the Discord server's history.

Compatibility with IOS, MacOS, and other platforms may come soon, some of which will be delayed.

With all of this aside, I sincerely thank you for contributing with this project. I'll try my best to deliver positive outcomes, but I don't guarantee it'd be at your expectations.
