Go get STEALTH KART now for five bucks!
The only racing game with sneaking.
Dream project, over two years as hobbyist.

An all-new genre. If you love new challenges, or splitscreen fun, or Commandos...

Check it out, maybe leave a review.

@FarmboyinJapan I think they were just a bit too late, the shoulder buttons of the GBA kill this idea.
If they had made a one-handed Gameboy Color Micro they would have been golden.

Earthbound kinda toys with this idea

@sillygal64 @yeahabsolutelyy That artist is the people's champ

@AngryPossum69 @SKRollins @willmenaker To me, the implication seemed to be that the fictional fascist US conquered and repopulated Argentina. Like a Nazi Lebensraum plan.
It fits with the theme of aggressive settlements which kicks of the bug war.

@Greg_Tame @TheJackyMartin I released a Commandos-inspired game which uses racing instead of RTS controls.
Yet most people considered it to be a puzzle game, as they didn’t know the mechanics already (& then they quit)

I think publishers dislike this swing-and-miss risk of puzzle games

Dudes in the gaming industry will look you dead in your eye and with all the sincerity in the world be like "Iunno why my game got no coverage and no sales" and I swear to god the capsule art will look like this every single time. We get paid 50 bucks a video dude help me help u

@DynMads @TylerGlaiel I was eight years old and even then I thought nobody has time for that

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

I think you can kinda do this as second player in Double Dash, so it's a genre staple

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

Which style do you prefer? Top or bottom? #screenshotsaturday #StealthKart #IndieGameDev #gamedev #unity3d

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

Stealth Kart had to be stealth launched, to be thematic

@andytouch @AnderssonKev It appears to show the amount of each genre in the Top 500. So it's still possible to have a lot of competition in genres that don't fare well🙃

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

@jake__lt @BertilHorberg Maybe the biggest differentiator is "could not get a big publisher if they tried" versus "decided against a big publisher".
Of course, if you actually used these labels one of them would be quite unpopular in most marketplaces lol

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

@StefenGalaxy93 hell yeah

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

@dj_rozwell most modern constitutions give a shout-out to stealth kart for the idea

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

work on four player mode #screenshotsaturday #StealthKart #IndieGameDev #gamedev #unity3d

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

@dj_rozwell just like Stealth Kart

[halfmule 🏁 STEALTH KART just released @theHalfMule]

This is how I designed Stealth Kart. There is a whole theme of "you found this game's disc in 2002 and don't know what it will be like".
Looking at streams of it, there is a big divide between people wanting to explore it and people quitting pretty fast

[Dillon Rogers @TafferKing451]

It’s funny because once you attune to how older games play, you’ll start to feel the opposite - that often, it’s nice how every action isn’t a forced animated sequence or takedown. You press a button and a thing just *happens*.
