Senders Comments and Dev Replies

Any chance of VR support??? this looks nuts!

Make it VR and I'll def purchase

20+ software developer currently working as an aircraft developer for MSFS 2024. This is one of the more impressive motorbike simulations I've seen and it's looking amazing! I hope you plan on having it support VR!! I used to race downhill mountain bikes and see something like this is exciting.

THIS IN VR WOULD BE GREAT!!

this needs to have VR support! looks awesome

Is this game made in Unreal Engine? If it is, then there's no need for me to ask for a VR mode. But if it isn't, a VR mode would be soooo cool!

It's possible your game in virtuel reality PCVR ?

Is this vr or is this more like first person descenders?

Vr mode in the future?

Yo this is sweet and I’m not even into dirt biking. Is this vr or is that just the camera style? I dig it either way.

How about VR

Looks amazing. You should add VR support.

it looks very very good, wish one day it will be in full version and maybe on VR

What engine are you using?

what engine is this running on?

I could've sworn i saw you comment on a odin vs zig video explaining how you preferred zig, this thing written in it? I'm working on my own zig project so i'm just curious. I am an avid offroader so I will probably play this when it comes out.

Immediately this looks so good and promising. It looks like it's already so much fun to drive around. What engine are you using?

Have you made your own game engine?

unity or ue?

that looks sick dude. what game engine are you running?? looks like godot?

I'm assuming this is the engine you've been developing? Either way this looks amazing!! I just released the demo for my game in a similar vein of simulation, but soccer instead. Really looking forward to playing Senders when it's available! (although mine is arcade-sim unlike your more faithful recreation, it's still the closest thing to a physics based 1st/3rd person soccer game that exists, just as your game appears to be the most faithful recreation of the experience of riding a dirt bike, something I have done before but was far from expert at)

if this is not Unreal I think it'll be great. I'f so, buns

where i can buy this game?

where can i play this

1. Is it free? 2. Is it on steam 3. name?

Where can i buy this ?? this looks amazing

yoooooooooo can i get a maybe good sir ive gott moneys

How do we get it bud

enduro game or full mx ?

holy shit is this a game that actually does countersteering correctly?

Genuine question, what features separate this from MX Bikes?

But is it fun?

This has so much potential if u sell it for like 2-5 dollars on steam this game can go really far

Will it be free? When will it come out? I just wishlisted it.

Xbox or pc

Will it also be available on consoles

Pls drop on consoles aswell..

Id love to see this game on consoles. Thats a big downside of MX Bikes, its a PC only game. The game already looks better than MX Bikes so if its on console this game will do very well

tell me this is coming to console, PLEASE.

Do you plan on bringing this to console?

Will this be on console?

Is it gonna be console but keep up the good work

id pay anything to get this thing on consoles icl, looks amazing.

Could you add it to ps5 I’m to broke for pc

Dude make this on ps5 and Xbox on release I swear you will make so much money it will be insane then you can hire people to help you

I’m praying this comes to console one day! We’re starving

Man I hope this makes it to console. Keep going man!

I'm curious how you've created the map. Is some of it generated? Did you build some sort of map editor? Or do you do it all in blender and importing it just works thanks to your build step you showed last time? Because I think it looks really good for how few things are actually in it. Like it seems with some more vegetation and fallen trees you could already create some really nice looking forest trails!

already has better audio than legends lmao. after watching looks like a pretty decent starting ground to start fine tuning things also curious as to how long the play area took to create or was there some kind of prefab thing you could work off of then make small tweaks to it

it's really interesting! good job! can you give details on how you model the physics of the dirt bike? like, a small video showing how you could implement this.

yo, what software do you use to make your bike sound ?

when are you gonna release the game on steam? I just wishlisted it. I would honestly play it as is right now lol

Looks fun! Any idea on release date for pc ? Thanks!

Any plans of a demo release? For a solo project this truly looks like a legitimate attempt at a QUALITY game! Well done 👏👏 -D5

Id try it out. Is it controller workinmg?

one of the most interesting things I've seen recently Is the game assisted and easy or can it be fully controlled manually? Meaning both bike and rider

How did you control it? You already mentioned, that wasn't vr, but some movements and little corrections were very quick. Was this gamepad gameplay? Sometimes it looked like the steering was controlled by simulated steering with a mouse. Looks absolutely great so far and i generally love the physiklcs based approach ❤

Looks very promising. I can imagine how hard it is to tweak all the lean/steering controllers to work. How much of the controls are automated by the game versus what the player does? (e.g. leg leaning out/grabbing the ground/leaning versus steering etc.)

Any relation to Descenders?

Is this game in any way associated with sledders? I mean it in the best way this reminds me a lot of that and I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this game.

Are you or someone else producing this or something like that?

Bro, put exactly what you have here just with a few proper jumps for whips and put it on early access for $19 on steam. You will become a millionaire within a month. Quit your job go full bore and flesh it out. You will become a multi millionaire by the years end. Add steam work shop integration and become a fucking legend. Send it dude, YOU GOT THIS!

If you can get physic's similar (if not better) to MX Bikes, and also include things like offline AI racers (which MXB is missing). Then this could be a banger of a MX game. Also adding steam workshop compatibility would be AMAZING (if possible).

This looks really promising. I've had MX bikes in my wishlist for years - hoping it would improve enough for me to pick it up. This already appears to play leaps and bounds better. Motorcycles, especially off road ones, are really hard to get right in a game and it seems like you nailed the formula. I'm not sure what your scope is but if you have good mod support (custom bikes, track builder, hare scramble modes, etc) this could be the biggest dirtbike game since MX vs. ATV unleashed. I wish you luck.

Hopefully it’s good when it releases hopefully mod supports pretty good as well for tracks bikes and skins and things of that nature so far physics look pretty decent obviously still polishing of course but looks good. I’ll be for sure. Following from here on out. I actually own pretty much every motocross game so there’s another to add to the list

I see some hell lot of potential, especially with mod support. Thanks for sharing and heads up, youre for sure gonna go far if you keep the progress up!

This looks fantastic. Honestly , just add a map editor and let the community go crazy. Mountain trails, MX arena tracks, local tracks ect.

Damn, love how even hard front breaking has deform, seems like you thought it all through. Also enjoy how it feels like the riders physics are affected by what the bike is doing. Your physics model is like as real is it can possibly get lol You are doing good work, just please have mod support

This looks sick!! Personally I do not like the third person view from the side, I think that straigt from the back looks better but the first person looks sick af! Do you plan making a beta playtest to get feedback?

play test? beta? bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaattttttttttbbbbbrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaattttttttt

this is sick keep doing good do u know when it will be in beta or testing?

Yoo let me know if you need a Alpha tester! Used to ride alot back in the day and play videogames way too much these days.

Any chance of doing some beta testing?

would you be open to having bug testers? I love finding bugs in racing games and would love to do this one

Can i help to translate this game to PR-BR?

Loved the project!!! I would be delighted to make levels or assets for this project as a 3D Artist, biker and a mechanical engineer.

Nathan, do you need any help with the project? I have been working some with Ui, enviroment , speedtree, quixel and stuff like that so if you need someone to help with that im all up for grabs

I would love to come aboard of this project and help with my knowledge in the motocross industry.

If you need help with Height Maps get in touch i have plenty

Any Discord community?

I love how that without even playing this, I can tell it feels good to play, it really looks like you've got something special here. Just a matter of taming the physics and playing your cards right. Have you got a discord?

Do you have a discord I world love to chat with you im a map maker/mod maker

Great Work!!! Any discord?

In many games, ground physics aren't very detailed to keep the CPU workload manageable. However, the ground physics in this video look incredibly detailed. Will this put a significant load on the CPU? From what I've seen so far, it seems to be handling it well, and I really hope that's the case. Keep it up this could be a real game changer.

this looks very true to life coming from someone whos rode mx on a track, question is thought what kind of demand on a pc has this got? everyone's quick to say oh this looks better than so and so but realistically once's there's half decent graphics thrown over the models can it achieve real world fps, kind of looks like a beamng mod

This has MASSIVE potential! In my opinion you should push to make this game as much of a simulator as possible. With the graphics and physics this game could easily become the #1 motocross game in the world

the slow speed handling and animations are absolutely incredible. I think that at this point this is the best enduro simulation out there and it's not even close. Obviously there is some jankiness but this looks incredibly promising. I can't wait to try it out

Naturally need some ai ghosts running your old laps, lap timers, check points, starting gates. Also dont forget the Jungle DnB background music. When you're feeling good with the engine you can think about weather systems and how the soil changes with moisture/mud.

This looks awesome, hoping you'll get to a point in the future where you can add a sand dune map and paddle tires. I grew up going to the sand dunes 3-4 times a year, and it was always a blast watching the bikes get big air on the hills. Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan if you need some inspiration for some not completely barren dunes.

A dirt bike sim that isn't JUST racing would be fantastic. Good Luck!

Now with six other CPU opponents, some decorations here and there, and the game is peak. Also a forest downhill map would be cool.

This would be awesome to ride around in a super dense thick forest. Rocks…trails….waterfalls. Nowhere to go but anywhere. Discover a small cabin. Ride for miles and miles in a dark forest. God rays…….

Fucking sick. Never played many dirtbike games other than an old MX vs ATV game way back. Love the deformation, physics and realism. I dont know what it is called, but this has potential to also have those endurance style races like Dakar and even enduro stuff through the mountains. Maybe eventually some sort of maintenance and upkeep required to keep the bike alive. Cool thing you made here.

This could head in the direction of the first ever Hard Enduro game, looks cool so far

A stark in this game would go crazy 😮

Its obviously still early in development but a downhill domination style game mode with weapons would be awesome! The physics are looking great! Cant wait for more updates

Looks amazing, I would defenitely purchase if its in steam... Please bring it on... it would be great if there are other players around and mx racing in these tracks..

Could that be? Could someone actually building the bike game of dreams? Where the foundation is layed out to have a gabe where i can do long trail blazing and or adv riding? Let me dream. I'll catch up on every info you dropped about this. And thanks for starting this. Keep it at your pace, no pressure. I am getting 37, i've waited so long for something like this. Most offroading is focused on motocross or supercross. I am not super interested in jumping and these tracks. Or i have to start modding at some point :D Thanks again for this. Really impressive. After seeing more: Oh man, its heaven. Extremely impressive work on everything. The way the young Trees collide and behave, man o man :D. The terrain. How slow movement is working. I need this in my virtual life. Wishlisted and subscribed in an instant. Its like all i ever do in bike games made into a game + physics and environment interaction i dreamed about. In all games i was/am mostly doing free riding if possible. Or bought games that have an open map and bikes in it. Most are.. we all know. I want just this sandbox. I do not even care about a damage system. I would not need it. But your project looks like BeamNG.ride and i love everything about it (just meant in a way in how i use beam. As a Driving Sim. No racing, no crash galore. Its just a bonus that it has detailed deformation. Thank you very much for trying and doing this in such detail with passion. I can't wait to test this and follow the project for the coming years and development.

i was just saying how i hate that no ones made a dirtbike game thats doing justice, this has given me some hope. would love to see some kinda track builder so can easily create supercross or national tracks

this all looks like great work, I'm especially admiring the deformable terrain! Would be fun to try some trials type stuff with this engine

Woahhh! I'm not even that into bikes, but this looks GREAT! Love how you captured the vulnerability while riding and sense of speed, really feels like I'm there. My only wish would be for all kinds of bikes, would be freaking amazing to drive isle of man with these physics. Cheers, wishlisting this.

looks pretty good so far! I added to my Steam wishlist, will look forward to seeing the release! one suggestion is to have at least a couple alternative options to dirtbikes if that is the main focus, maybe atleast like 4 different ATVS with different top speeds, acceleration, suspension, and traction and an Emoto like a Surron Lightbee X atleast, which functions differently by having no gears, just throttle, and being more lightweight for easier and more forgiving turning and slightly suspension, but bit less traction make them 2$ each, or bundles for savings, and I promise you it would be worth it, cheers mate!

This looks SO PROMISING!! MX vs ATV on the WII XD was so sick. Please make it posible for custom maps, like "Erzberg Rodeo" where the goal is to climb the mountain through forest. Its a challenge event not a "race" and thats cool. Basic MX races are boring on normal tracks. I hope it has a chance not to be JUST a Lap Racing game, that would be wasted potential in my opinion. Open World MX game and my SOUL is yours!

hare scramble race would be sick as fuck in this game. physics and weight of the bike look great, maybe the best ive seen

A Sahara desert would be fye fr

yes this is gonna be big I remember back when I played mx or mx vs atv I would always just freeroam until I hit the barriers, this is amazing definitely hyped for this. Also I would love to see some steep hills to do some hillclimb runs on, that would be cool and unique.

can you make a semi urban map

need forza horizon but for motorbikes

Dude, if your project actually gets released in the future, I will definitely buy it. You could have a mode called 'Escape the Storm,' make a map with lots of dense forest, and you need to get away from the storm.

Would be awesome to mix that physic with "trial" style motorbike. Like going though buildings, trying to pass some obstacles etc

with this physics, hard enduro mode would be so damn cool

Please add supermoto

I can see myself playing this after work to unwind. An urban map like dirt biking through a city and parks would be so sick. Gonna wish-list this now, good luck

Will there be Supermotos too?

Looking great. Are you planning to add 4w vehicles or atv's?

Pls add asphalt roads and give chance to mount supermoto tyres :)

WOW dude this looks amazing! Just give us a couple of coop open free roam maps with some roads and NPC vehicles, make it feel like Motocross Madness 2 and we're good to go for early access! I would 100% pay for early access if it would scratch my Motocross Madness current gen itch. They haven't released one good game (for free roam enthusiasts like me) since 2005.

Please just focus this game on the shredding and having fun trying out whatever, just cruising around like this must be so goooood

looks and feels great! please add motorcycle police and chase mode

this entire video is super impressive!!! i've loved dirtbikes my whole life, can't wait to try this. any chance of adding ATVs and UTVs??

Please build an addon for paris dakar style rally bike stages

This is brilliant! Well done! I think having a sim that is about messing around could be a lot of fun. Especially with a bunch of mates exploring.

Single track single track single track single track single strackSingle track single track single track single track single strack Single track single track single track single track single strack

the whoops are HUGE

add enduro trails and youll be golden! there are too many mx track games out there already

It looks very good! This is good because a lot of games look very stiff and the rider is kind of just moving with the bike but in Senders it's actually very good looking Add some jumps and some whips would look good!

bro casually drops gameplay that blows literally every other mx game's physics doors off. It looks like it has quite a bit of jank but man the way the bike plants itself in the ground looks so good

@NathanSendersDev Man seeing this gets me so excited. The base is coming, I'm putting off bike and rider models because that is something that can addressed after the fact. Those things mean nothing unless the physics are dialed. Which you have things here I haven't seen yet. + First person looks really good tbh. I'm a third person guy myself but first looks nice. + The dabbing of the foot as the rolling is happening is such a nice touch and some how sells the feeling of a more balance harmony between rider and bike. + Would love to see how you figure out counter balancing the tilt of the bike. For example at 5:20 the bike takes off a veers left, a pro would for example shift their body and hips to right. + 6:10 is a great example of incorporating the swapping effect, this is something i haven't seen a game get right yet. It happens all the time in racing where the backend will swap a bit but the hips and spine stay relatively neutral which can correct the bike flight (within a certain threshold) + I would love to see a little more of the spine and hips attempt to stay "up" when turning. The new MXGP game is trying to do this, its OKAY. But still so many rough things. - In-Flight physics, still getting a bit of back and forth rag doll. I'm sure you see this. - Bike whip return, seems like the biggest physics problem in motocross games. How do you manufacture a free whip? The bike effectively swapping and then returning naturally - Ride and bike models of course. All in all this video made me incredibly happy to watch., Please keep up the great work.

Incredible. It would be interesting for different tires to interact in different ways with different terrain. The game looks very good; good luck.

Looking great! My only comment is the bike looks small in POV like xr100 sized

Damn this is already looking cool as hell. I'm excited to see where this goes. When you get to the body positioning part, you might gain a bit from watching AJ Catanzaro's youtube channel to iron out some gnitty gritty positioning details and stuff. But regardless, this is so well done already. Please keep it up!

Points à améliorer : Le pilotage

needs more piboso magic physics

probably would wanna work for enduro too, make the standing still animations and going slow more like animation as if the rider was balancing, soo enduro and slow riding becomes possible, theres no game with good enduro going slow

This looks great. Make sure that when the front gets stuffed there is less control. Like at 1:42, the wheel is gonna whip either direction on you, you won't be able to control it because the change of momentum makes the wheel feel more heavy. This looks great, though. As the angle gets crazier like during the enduro line, it would be cool if the rider leaned back to maintain center of gravity. The procedural legs and animations are awesome. I know it's early but I cannot wait to play this game.

Looks very nice! I need to do a Wheelie in that game. It should be more easier to fall off the motorcycle

now test pop-ing pls

make better whip physics \

This looks really good so far🙌. The only downside for me is that the weight and impact is a little floaty when the bike hits the ground, meaning it doesn't feel as impactful and weightful if you know what I mean. Still good though

Impressive for single dev. Tyres needs slip lower angle for loose terrain. Remember about dust particles

The grip strength is amazing but it's a game so you don't want it to be so realistic that you're dropping the bike all the time. Looks amazing. Do you have mud?

I hope the physics fix regarding acceleration is great, what bothers me most in MX Bikes is me revving the bike and it just not breaking traction like it should, used to real life

Really cool, also has a lot of potential for actual enduro, adding a standing mode and a way you can move forward and back on the bike manually would allow you to do double blips to get over the rocks, which would be awesome as mx bikes physics is pretty terrible at that.

this looks very promising! you could implement a way to make some controlled slides, it's something most mx games lacks... anyway, if you want some inspiration to make the ride feel mote "alive", try MTX mototrax! it's a ps2 game, most of the movement are scripted but imo is still the best mx game ever created

Respect for working alone. I recommend adding wet mud and sand in addition to dry dirt, and making the front wheel dig in at low throttle and the rear wheel dig in when opening the throttle sharply.

Ive never seen any game achieve the level of reactivity youve created, next level! Id just recommend some adjustment of the neutral body position, but i dont think anyone expects that to be refined at this point. Thanks for sharing, this is sick!!

This looks already incredible, I love the simulated body positions instead of set animations, gives it an unmatched natural feeling to it. The only thing that caught my eye was the rider model, bike model and overall riding position. But it looks weighty, flowy and smooth

Definitely make that front look like is turns more, you turn more then the bike looks like it is

Uh I don’t make games but the low speed physics make the bike look rlly light… besides that I love the erode it brings back mx vs atv reflex

Why don’t people just try something like mx simulator. Like genuine physics. Maybe this is that but idk.

almost looks like theres a little too much traction on the turns, game looks amazing though

Very cool! the most bang for buck improvement you could make is the sound. honestly it would be like 3x better with good engine sound

You should crossfade the motorcycle's sound into an idle sound when the throttle isn't being applied. It breaks the immersion a bit when you're mid-air, don't give it any gas, and the bike's sound cuts out completely.

As a rider the only thing that needs more work is the sound, needs more high end whine on the throttle and a steady beat at idle. right now it sounds like a line trimmer doing yard work haha. But otherwise I think you absolutely nailed it! I'm looking forward to see where you take it, all the best brother 🤘🏿

ok, this looks simply amazing, albeit 2 issues; sound, its good, but sounds a tad too echoey if that makes sense also, it looks like riding through deep soft sand(which may be the point lol) with 2 very flat tyres, i swear i can hear the sound of flat tyres on the ground, everything is pretty good, but it feels like the air is thicker, or ur riding through mollases or somn. all in all, im wishlisting it, might take me off mxbikes for once lmao.

The sound of a big single? Or two stoke? Should be offered as two type of bikes

Love it. Deff would like to see some engine dynamic implementations ex, two stroke vs 4

Add sound when the bike hits the floor with strenght ... that would make it more realistic

Is that WIP engine sound? Sounds very CVT-ish. But i've never driven a dirt bike, so idk. I thought is is more feral in real life.

what im missing the most in any modern vehicle games is the dedication for the vehicles sound desing or sound design in general. ur showcase looks very promising, idk if you have the knowledge- time or equipment for it- but if you do, please let the sound of the bikes and overall ride be a huge priority!!! Amazing works, keen to see where this goes man :)

Adjust the mixture on the carb, by the sound it runs way too rich 😁 Great effort so far!

record the real engine or just recruit the best modders from asseto corsa, they're one of the best modder that can replicate the real engine sound. keep it up nathan, this look very promising for a single dev project....CRAZY

All you need is just better samples, after you start selling this, you should invest in some professional recordings of some different engines and build upon that. This little showcase is better than most MX "sims" out there

Looks promising, but need better engine sounds

That 4-stroke noise, tho! Gotta bring back the OG 2-strokes!!!

As for the graphics, I’ve never really cared much about them; I prefer a good physics engine and great audio in simulations. Here, the terrain deformation is fine, and the physics are solid too—though the bike feels a bit light. Still, I think that once it’s polished—with improvements to the audio and rider animations—it could be a great title! Well done! Keep pushing hard!

looks good, but the sound of the bike is not good.

Good work, but the sound is OMG like a cross between a Chinese quad and a sick weed whacker combined while being run under water

please add control customization if you haven’t added thaf

or add guns and turn it into the best battle royal ever

guy the idea is very good i love it, but mx vs atv exist in this world... if i can give you a tips, inspire you by my summer car, do one bike just one, but make it so great mx vs atv can't talk with you! don't care about the graphic just do somethink good like that, can be upgrade later, just develop this bike this physics give it more option like gearbox and clutch, that maybe help you with the physics, if it's your real bike give we some mechanic inside, do a litle story line for give an objectif to player, like repair the bike for won a local champ, that's can be awesome, i follow you

You should add emoto's too like surron style bikes, I'm pretty sure yours would be the first game to include electric bikes 🤔

looks nice, can we get guns?, would be a great pick up multiplayer party game, guns, rocket launchers and traps, physics look great and its the first thing i thought of.

bro remove the crash reset timer and allow me to reset when im done watching it and its an insta buy

Add a speedometer to the motorcycle handlebars

please please do indepth customization

I saw the customization menu but I think you should add a clothe selector or something like that. Also I think you should add a bike selector thats all

That vignetty uppon hard hits i would like to turn off in game please. The rest, amazing work! Subscribed.

This looks awesome! The physics look really promising, and the ragdoll crashes are amazing. I just hope there's no automatic reset after you crash. It would be much better if you had to press a button to get back up, like in some games, so we can actually enjoy the ragdoll physics. Cheers!

This looks sick!! Personally I do not like the third person view from the side, I think that straigt from the back looks better but the first person looks sick af! Do you plan making a beta playtest to get feedback?

hey! give the black screen effect less opacity! more camera shake and more effect and way less opacity or else it might become annoying for the eyes!

The black around the screen i weird to me but otherwise looks cool

Ditch the dark screen on hard landing

A helmet gopro camera perspective would look so amazing for this game. Maybe have that characteristic sound of the camera jiggling in its case. Amazing stuff here, definitely going to be a hit!

Holy shit! This is fire man! Keep it up! I would say remove the blackness that appears when you case and maybe lower the first person camera little and your allt set

in third person while riding a slider option would be awesome to press easily on controller to control the riders position on screen. if you want to move the rider right you double tap RB then hold RB and it slides the character over exactly where the player wants them to be. same thing for moving the player to the left. also whether or not the player wants the rider closer or further away long press LB to bring the rider closer, long press to bring the rider further out. for a low frame hold LT and LB and for a high frame hold RB and RT. these will be routed to the slider mechanics and in addition to this having default/customizable default positioning on whether the character is right left up or down, quick double taps on any button that is programmed by default with the triggers mentioned above or customizable by the player to suit the players preferences in the settings menu would offer a degree of versatility that can suit just about anyone's fancy. having the slider option go up down right or left even far behind the rider or far in front of them so far even to the point where it becomes hard to see the rider would be really cool if they want to play from an aerial level game play anywhere in the sky wherever they want by these default/customized programmed buttons to do so without having to go right to the settings menu to change anything. also im not sure if this will be just a pc game or also vr capable. vr for this game would be incredible and it would be awesome if you can offer or partner with someone that can create a stationary and/or moving/manual movable dirt bike accessory that works both for pc and vr game play that acts as your controller to enhance immersion. the grips on the handlebars themselves can be given a little wiggle room so whatever direction the player wants the rider to be in they simply use the right and/or left grips to push in that direction and if this becomes a problem during game play where your rider is moving position when you don't want them to while playing then pressing a simple button at the side end of either grip can be pressed to toggle that feature on and off and locking the wiggle room out of the handlebars completely so they're nice and sturdy again until the button is pressed again. routing default/customized positions from these side handlebar buttons similar to what i mentioned at first would be very useful and versatile if this feature on the handlebars is turned off.

wow looks like a solid foundation, only things I would do right away is adjust the 3rd person camera to middle, maybe have a helmet cam and cam behind rifer like 4-5 ft. then work in optimization. the shadows pop in can be annoying. great work so far!

Just a thought here but the only think I don't really like is the heavy vignetting on hard landings. Maybe a different effect, or none at all. Also, would love to see a better LOD and VR support. Just ideas....other than that, looks nice and solid start! Congrats on your journey.. Will follow!

you could to work on this chase cam, more g force movment. congrats for the great work!!

LOd Culling looks too aggressive right now. Hopefully its reduced to improve visual fidelity without impacting performance too much.

Please add 3rd person view too. Rest looks very promising.

Honestly, that is so good, but man, you should make recovering after fall by a button so you could choose whenever to recover or just look at rider, cuz i know that a lot of people love ragdolls and all that stuff. (and you should increase render distance bcs mountains do not render properly) but luck to you, hope you make it a good game!

i think the camera vignette depending on how hard the landing is, really sells the impact! great feature!! but its missing a fade to black if you fall :D and also if its a close call, your about to fall/loose the bike. also i could think of changing the fov to get wider if your in midair to make big jumps even more scary :D overall its already sick!!! keep on going :D

Looks great, I could definitely have some fun with this based on what you've made here already. Not sure what your setup is like for the camera field of view but if you haven't heard of panini projection it might be worth looking into. It's really good for getting a large FOV while suppressing that "fishbowl" effect you typically get with high FOV. Also, I was just wondering, did you occlude the body mesh as a stylistic choice because it makes sense for the game or is it because of a limitation because of things like camera clipping?

That vision blur effect seems like it would get annoying quick and also shouldn't be applicable in 3rd person also the 3rd person camera angle is very weird but looks very promising, good luck

black screen thing isn't really needed. otherwise pretty cool

Sick! The terrain deformation is a really nice touch. Excited to see where this goes! I like the off-center 3rd person camera, reminds me of Skate or Session. I think it's very fitting for sims where style is a factor. The camera in Session is very customizable; distance, height, offset, angle can all be adjusted. Could be cool if you can make you own custom presets for enduro, tracks, tricks etc.

Looks like a great starting point. If you could somehow combine this, MTG and MXB you would have the perfect game. As for feedback the bike sound isn't the best and that 3rd person camera would be very hard to use.

The game looks good. I have some feedback: regarding the dark edges that appear during a hard landing or something similar—try making that effect subtler or adding an in-game option to remove it. I believe that implementing either change (or both) would attract a wider audience and keep people playing, simply because the effect would be less intrusive or could be disabled entirely. Like me, there are players who dislike having that kind of visual effect forced onto the screen whenever something bad happens to their character. That’s my general feedback. As I said, the game looks great, and I’d definitely play it once it’s released. Congratulations on all the hard work so far—keep it up! Please excuse my English; I don't actually speak the language.

For such FOV, perspective correction is needed...

idk about the black vignette on impacts

I saw in another comment you said you had removed the vignette on heavier impacts.. since you are advertising this as a sim I think it's still important to do something to emphasize the impact, even if its just a heavy drop in the camera angle on the landing for example. It's all about immersion! The only other thing I notice right away is the lack of audio for the track surface and bike components. The physics look really good!

It's looking great so far but I do recommend adding a full 3rd person ragdoll camera for crashes (the more customizable the better) because that's what I'll use for content.

that fov is horrendous

Please be like MX Madness 2 and put a minefield around the map boundary

the outer bounds needs to catapult you across the map. a solid day one buy from me

Liked, commented, subscribed. This looks AWESOME! Finally I can relive ATV Off-road Fury 1 and 2, but new! Pls if there are boundaries, make it sonic boom the player back into bounds!!!

I think jumping a cactus patch, landing in it and having the ragdoll get caught up on the cactus spines would be kinda funny.

So, when you leave the map, will you be shot back towards the centre like a cannonball? 😉 Shown my age a bit there ghehe

Bro, put exactly what you have here just with a few proper jumps for whips and put it on early access for $19 on steam. You will become a millionaire within a month. Quit your job go full bore and flesh it out. You will become a multi millionaire by the years end. Add steam work shop integration and become a fucking legend. Send it dude, YOU GOT THIS!

This has so much potential if u sell it for like 2-5 dollars on steam this game can go really far

This looks really incredible. You should share this on various subreddits if you haven't already. Great work, and looking forward to this!

Next vid can you show controller overlay

wow this looks amazing. One thing that i always keep in mind is that graphics dont matter to a certain degree its more about gameplay. Looking at you, MTG. I would love to see a early demo of this game for people to try i mean the physics look super arcade style yet still very sim like.

you should hire some people to help you with the game

make a free demo of this please i would play this as it is rn

Put the steam link at the top of your description!

Any plans of a demo release? For a solo project this truly looks like a legitimate attempt at a QUALITY game! Well done 👏👏 -D5

you should talk with twitch he's fucking awesome and responds to messages sometimes

DEMO please

Games look insanely good, but the name sounds like ubisoft slop for something that looks like the beamng of mx sims

Make it VR and I'll def purchase

20+ software developer currently working as an aircraft developer for MSFS 2024. This is one of the more impressive motorbike simulations I've seen and it's looking amazing! I hope you plan on having it support VR!! I used to race downhill mountain bikes and see something like this is exciting.

Wow i did not expect it to look this good after just 7 months. Are you going to support wheels? LIked playing DiRT Rally back in the days and wheels mechanical feedback is just something else

THIS IN VR WOULD BE GREAT!!

Pls drop on consoles aswell..

this needs to have VR support! looks awesome

Id love to see this game on consoles. Thats a big downside of MX Bikes, its a PC only game. The game already looks better than MX Bikes so if its on console this game will do very well

This looks great! Will there be telemetry for wind/motion sim?

got damn i wish someone like would come out some kind of ffb handlebars

VR is absolutely necessary here!

i know it wouldnt be perfect, but it is really time for a ffb handlebar, i hope someone makes one soon

console release bro

VR would be sick!

Looks like this would be fun in vr

Wow you nailed it! It looks awesome! This in VR would be the real deal!

id pay anything to get this thing on consoles icl, looks amazing.

its too bad we dont have steering device for motorcycle games unlike racing with steering wheel

Could you add it to ps5 I’m to broke for pc

Dude make this on ps5 and Xbox on release I swear you will make so much money it will be insane then you can hire people to help you

First PC release ofc. But I would consider porting it to mobile. Looks like the best moto handling out there tbh. Keep up the good work 🫡

How about VR

Looks amazing. You should add VR support.

This looks EPIC. Truly looks more sim than others. Definitely looking forward to the future of this game and potentially playing it on a console in the future.

I’m praying this comes to console one day! We’re starving

Man I hope this makes it to console. Keep going man!

it looks very very good, wish one day it will be in full version and maybe on VR

I'm curious how you've created the map. Is some of it generated? Did you build some sort of map editor? Or do you do it all in blender and importing it just works thanks to your build step you showed last time? Because I think it looks really good for how few things are actually in it. Like it seems with some more vegetation and fallen trees you could already create some really nice looking forest trails!

Parts of your terrain look really great. The deformation from tires and general fidelity of those smaller crevices looks very good. The rock scattering and terrain blending are quite well done already. The terrain shader's materials have a nice lighting response without too much specular reflectiveness. The grass placement is quite believable, congrats if that is purely procedural. I'm not sure if the vegetation really needs individual leaves, though. That could be impossible to scale to the map size you want to achieve.

Sons Of the Forest-like landscape + realistic sounds and models + this physics = masterpiece enduro game

Looks awesome! Graphics nice and physics seem good! Hope you can find a way to optimize it nicely. Sub

Need ! This is the motorcycle game ive been waiting on for 30 years Obviously it needs heavy polishing but the core of the game is already better than anything currently available

Damn, the physics look amazing! I'd use screen space shadows and SSAO to make the very detailed vegetation look more grounded.

IMO slap some dirt and sand fx on this and you havev yourself the next Top selling motocross offroad game IP.

Brodie if you add weather, doesn’t even need to be variable, and different times of day this will be massive.

with volumetric clouds , water physics splash , water puddles , weather effects ,this would be 11\10

The map needs work: more plants, more realistic placement, better grass transitions, bushes, trees, lighting, and more nature photo references. The main mechanics, first-person camera, leg animation, controls, physics, and camera are strong; the visuals need improvement.

3:15 needs more dust particles, like smoke, it will be awesome! Thank you for your work, keep it up!

SICK!!! Noticing some graphics errors/glitches but im sure thats not your Focus at this moment.

If you make a mod where it's basically Elastomania 3D, you've got a winner.

If you can get physic's similar (if not better) to MX Bikes, and also include things like offline AI racers (which MXB is missing). Then this could be a banger of a MX game. Also adding steam workshop compatibility would be AMAZING (if possible).

This looks really promising. I've had MX bikes in my wishlist for years - hoping it would improve enough for me to pick it up. This already appears to play leaps and bounds better. Motorcycles, especially off road ones, are really hard to get right in a game and it seems like you nailed the formula. I'm not sure what your scope is but if you have good mod support (custom bikes, track builder, hare scramble modes, etc) this could be the biggest dirtbike game since MX vs. ATV unleashed. I wish you luck.

Hopefully it’s good when it releases hopefully mod supports pretty good as well for tracks bikes and skins and things of that nature so far physics look pretty decent obviously still polishing of course but looks good. I’ll be for sure. Following from here on out. I actually own pretty much every motocross game so there’s another to add to the list

I see some hell lot of potential, especially with mod support. Thanks for sharing and heads up, youre for sure gonna go far if you keep the progress up!

Some online would work great for this game. Something like servers in CS 1.6.

I wish for this game to be a dirt bike engine or platform, where the players could do and create a lot of cool stuff in an engine where it's focus on having great dirt bike behaviour and driving, but have the tools to create custom bikes (real like a personal one, or a prototype) and maps or courses. But in my opinion, the simulation still looks a bit too arcade, if we talk specifically about how the driver still holds onto the bike after an awful jumps or landings, or when going full throttle to spin the bike. So I wonder if the game will aim towards optional settings for less simplified or safer driving and behavior of the bike (or the ability of the driver to keep on the bike) if the player wants it (I know it's a solo dev indie game). Gyro sensors could be a crazy but new feature to control pitch and yaw of the bike while in the air, and since controllers have rumble, it can have some possibilities for forced-feedback, just strap a handle to the controller (or strap the controller to the handle of a skeleton/chassi of a dirt bike). face/eye tracker will be a hard thing to implement but for those who are good at using them, that could be a great immersion feature, now that there are free alternatives with using your smartphone, without the Infra-red requirement. And VR can be more of a nightmare, specially knowing how the audience can be, no I dont care for that feature. Thanks for sharing and good luck with achieving what you are aiming for!

This looks fantastic. Honestly , just add a map editor and let the community go crazy. Mountain trails, MX arena tracks, local tracks ect.

dude you have gold in your hands. Make this multiplayer freeroam and feature simple checkpoint races and this will sell big time

That looks sick, im sold for this project!! If you can catch modders, the community will build itself up on no time! i would play for HOURS lol Give me a two strokes, sand dunes map, mx tracks and a small city to play around with my homies doing wheelies and you'll build a community in 2 days lol Sick project!

Damn, love how even hard front breaking has deform, seems like you thought it all through. Also enjoy how it feels like the riders physics are affected by what the bike is doing. Your physics model is like as real is it can possibly get lol You are doing good work, just please have mod support

Instant wishlist. If there are dedicated servers available I will spend all of my free time making the best experience for the community, mark my words

youtube algorithm working wonders, looks very promising, wishing you the best in the dev journey

the slow speed handling and animations are absolutely incredible. I think that at this point this is the best enduro simulation out there and it's not even close. Obviously there is some jankiness but this looks incredibly promising. I can't wait to try it out

bro casually drops gameplay that blows literally every other mx game's physics doors off. It looks like it has quite a bit of jank but man the way the bike plants itself in the ground looks so good

Incredible. It would be interesting for different tires to interact in different ways with different terrain. The game looks very good; good luck.

This looks awesome, hoping you'll get to a point in the future where you can add a sand dune map and paddle tires. I grew up going to the sand dunes 3-4 times a year, and it was always a blast watching the bikes get big air on the hills. Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan if you need some inspiration for some not completely barren dunes.

Damn this is already looking cool as hell. I'm excited to see where this goes. When you get to the body positioning part, you might gain a bit from watching AJ Catanzaro's youtube channel to iron out some gnitty gritty positioning details and stuff. But regardless, this is so well done already. Please keep it up!

@NathanSendersDev Man seeing this gets me so excited. The base is coming, I'm putting off bike and rider models because that is something that can addressed after the fact. Those things mean nothing unless the physics are dialed. Which you have things here I haven't seen yet. + First person looks really good tbh. I'm a third person guy myself but first looks nice. + The dabbing of the foot as the rolling is happening is such a nice touch and some how sells the feeling of a more balance harmony between rider and bike. + Would love to see how you figure out counter balancing the tilt of the bike. For example at 5:20 the bike takes off a veers left, a pro would for example shift their body and hips to right. + 6:10 is a great example of incorporating the swapping effect, this is something i haven't seen a game get right yet. It happens all the time in racing where the backend will swap a bit but the hips and spine stay relatively neutral which can correct the bike flight (within a certain threshold) + I would love to see a little more of the spine and hips attempt to stay "up" when turning. The new MXGP game is trying to do this, its OKAY. But still so many rough things. - In-Flight physics, still getting a bit of back and forth rag doll. I'm sure you see this. - Bike whip return, seems like the biggest physics problem in motocross games. How do you manufacture a free whip? The bike effectively swapping and then returning naturally - Ride and bike models of course. All in all this video made me incredibly happy to watch., Please keep up the great work.

Like it seems with some more vegetation and fallen trees you could already create some really nice looking forest trails!

Oh also, I find the tree collisions very convinving! The little trees seem to resist about as much as you'd expect, and deflect the bike as well. I mean they don't break (yet) but up to the point where you'd expect them to I think it's close! Same goes for the big tree barely budging.

already has better audio than legends lmao. after watching looks like a pretty decent starting ground to start fine tuning things also curious as to how long the play area took to create or was there some kind of prefab thing you could work off of then make small tweaks to it

This has MASSIVE potential! In my opinion you should push to make this game as much of a simulator as possible. With the graphics and physics this game could easily become the #1 motocross game in the world

If you make a mod where it's basically Elastomania 3D, you've got a winner.

Keep up the work man, I know there are multiple games being "worked on" but the mx sim community has been a let down and become more and more unstable and toxic. there is no more love of the game it is all monetary and if you can't win cheat or just ruin the races for people.

Bro, put exactly what you have here just with a few proper jumps for whips and put it on early access for $19 on steam. You will become a millionaire within a month. Quit your job go full bore and flesh it out. You will become a multi millionaire by the years end. Add steam work shop integration and become a fucking legend. Send it dude, YOU GOT THIS!

Looking great! My only comment is the bike looks small in POV like xr100 sized

I'm trying to get 80% the way there to an authentic dirtbike riding experience. Did I get there? What stands out? What needs improvement? Thanks for watching The major notes so far: * Vignette has to go, try replacing with screen shake (credit @bennygacha for the idea) * Whip physics are W.I.P. and need more research * Rider animation needs more polish Thank you, keep it coming.

That vignetty uppon hard hits i would like to turn off in game please. The rest, amazing work! Subscribed.

This looks awesome! The physics look really promising, and the ragdoll crashes are amazing. I just hope there's no automatic reset after you crash. It would be much better if you had to press a button to get back up, like in some games, so we can actually enjoy the ragdoll physics. Cheers!

The black around the screen i weird to me but otherwise looks cool

Ditch the dark screen on hard landing

hey! give the black screen effect less opacity! more camera shake and more effect and way less opacity or else it might become annoying for the eyes!

Very cool! the most bang for buck improvement you could make is the sound. honestly it would be like 3x better with good engine sound

Naturally need some ai ghosts running your old laps, lap timers, check points, starting gates. Also dont forget the Jungle DnB background music. When you're feeling good with the engine you can think about weather systems and how the soil changes with moisture/mud.
