Karma Play's Old Skool Racer is an entire racing game world designed to be developed in close cooperation with fans of the racing genre.

In the game, players can choose from four different vehicle types such as futuristic cars, motorbikes, speedboats and hoverpods. In addition to Quick Race, Time Trial, Stunt Mode, Combat Mode and Championship, Old Skool Racer will also feature several eight player multiplayer modes, achievements, trophies and a global leaderboard.

After the game’s initial release, the company is planning monthly feature updates based on community recommendations. To start this process, Karma Play is now hosting a Discord channel. This channel will host weekly opinion polls on the most requested game features and all future development activities will be based on the poll results.

Developer Karma Play has launched a kickstarter campaign for Old Skool Racer, looking to raise $6,231.

We have been self-funding this game for over two years now. As you can see from the video, we already have a lot of content already working in the singleplayer mode. We are now only a few months away from the game's first milestone release. With the extra funds from generous backers such as yourself, we are planning to add the following before its first release in June 2020. 

• 8 player multiplayer, global leaderboards, achievements, 3D trophies
• Four extra levels including Aspen, Yosemite, Mount Kilmanjaro and Peru

The mansion will also host a full 3D trophy room which will be accessible to other competing players. As the players win more races, they can unlock other features of the luxury mansion such as:
  • Hundreds of virtual items including paintings, carpets, chandeliers and design furniture to decorate each room
  • Setup the island and the mansion according to your mood by adding light sources and tweaking the color, intensity of all lights
  • Add visual effects to the island such as light mist and rain
