Author Topic: Spin Tires - A Small Truck Physics Game  (Read 6138 times)

Spin Tires is a game currently in development, with a demo available for play. It is made in the Havok game engine, and simulates some attributes of truck driving which other games do not take into account, with graphics being improved as well despite the tradeoff. One noticeable feature other games lack is ground physics in relation to truck tires - Trucks can dig trenches with their weight in a somewhat more realistic fashion than seen elsewhere. If you've ever dealt with the aftermath of a truck moving through a grass lawn, this game will remind you just how annoying trucks are. :)

i've played this game

Spin Tires is still in development: https://www.facebook.com/Spintires

Their website is currently broken at the moment, as noted. However, they are trying to resolve it. They plan to start a Kickstarter to make funding for the game and expand upon it.

It looks frustrating as forget to play

The game itself is boring but the physics are loving lovey as hell.

i tried taking a shortcut and my truck tipped over
i personally dont like the setting because ive always been a wuss about night in games idk why

I don't know why, but the mud physics with the tires captivates me.

Updated the OP a little, since they've released new demos since I made this topic. Lots of new stuff since the last time this topic was updated.

As far as the demo they are keeping updated, yes. They don't seem to mention if they want to sell it, but considering how slow the Kickstarter is, they might have to charge.

40,000 euros -
Base Goal
50,000 euros -
Cooperative Multiplayer, extra assets including trucks and map elements
80,000 euros -
Verses Multiplayer, more game modes, internal view, more assets
100,000 euros -
Mac version

I like how they're offering a Mac version as the biggest incentive for donations. Shrewd indeed.

I'll be honest, I expected a side-scrolling Flash game before entering the topic.

Will there be missions? There should be missions. Are there already? Hm.

does anyone know what kind of GPU it requires?
the CPU and RAM requirements are like, way low, so I'm assuming it's gonna require some serious GPU

It said it should have Direct X9 support.

so if I apparently have DX11... it should work on my computer? that's really hard to believe. I mean, look at that game. and I can't even run gmod
