After a couple of years of putting it all away, I’m pretty excited to tell you that our second game, Art of the rally, launches on Xbox and available today – day one with Xbox Game Pass! For anyone who likes racing games, it’s a spiritual sequel to my last game, Absolute driftwhich was released for Windows and Xbox a few years ago.
Art of the rally is a love letter to the golden era of rally driving that takes players around the world to drive through beautiful and calming environments inspired by real-world locations from Finland, Sardinia, Norway, Japan, Germany and now Kenya too! What most players will never know is that I actually developed a large chunk of the game while driving my RV across North America before I ended up putting together a team to bring it to market.
Some of you may be familiar with a modern van, but I call it the Beluga and have converted it into an office on wheels for most of the development! We went into the wilderness, stared at the vast sky, traveled through quiet forests and through vast deserts. The craziest trip was a 6000 km drive from Canada to Oaxaca, Mexico, which swept over Sinaloa at the same time as Hurricane Willa.
My van played such an important role in the development of my game that it absolutely had to be there. If you ever play Art of the rally, and happen to be somewhere on a less traveled road, you might find it (using the camo from my previous game) Absolute drift)!
Making the game this way was an amazing experience, if a little technologically challenging at times. Cant wait to see what people think when they try it out on Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Windows 10, and with Xbox Game Pass!
