@racejam.bsky.socialWe added pixel text to Race Jam online, then Danni suggested tying the colors to your rank 👀 Rookie blues, amateur greens, and new colors as you climb. Small detail, but a fun way to make progression feel visible.

@racejam.bsky.social@racejam.bsky.socialThe Bacuda got its name from Jeff’s dad, a huge Nash Bridges fan. Jeff almost called it “Bubba,” but his dad said it needed something more unique.
So he came up with Bacuda.
And now it’s permanent Race Jam lore. 😅🏁
@racejam.bsky.socialWe started by discussing what happens when an online host leaves.
We ended with: “What if losing a race had a 1% chance of deleting System32?”
The true hardcore racing experience. 😭
No, we are not adding this.

@racejam.bsky.socialCyber Rain appeared in online multiplayer and everyone got hyped… right before remembering we hadn’t tested it yet. 😅
“You’re telling me the untested map doesn’t work?”

@racejam.bsky.socialJReal is developing Race Jam tech now 😅 Helly tight turns, spam drifts for multiple boosts, then stack a flawless boost with fire. We might need a full Gauntlet run using only JReal tactics. 🏁🔥

@racejam.bsky.socialWe’re looking at adding online race standings and player names above health bars so it’s easier to see who’s ahead of you—and exactly who just passed or blew you up 😅🏁

@racejam.bsky.socialA player passed us, we panicked, and then we blew each other up. Second place still counts as winning when JReal is in the lobby 😅🏁

@racejam.bsky.socialRace Jam battle pass? Nope 😅 Keeping one going would mean constantly pumping out content every few months. We’d rather focus on online racing, fixes, and making the game better.

@racejam.bsky.socialRace Jam online started months ago with conversations about scoring, modes, and how different racing games handle online play. There isn’t one perfect blueprint, so we built what felt right for Race Jam 🏁

@racejam.bsky.socialTriassic Track has more trees than any Race Jam track we’ve ever built. Getting them in without wrecking the frame rate was a nightmare. There was screaming. Mostly “THE TREES!” 🌴😅

@racejam.bsky.socialOnline progression is coming together in Race Jam 🏁 Start as an Everyday Racer, earn points through online race actions, and climb through 30 total ranks. Jeff is tired. The code is powerful. 😅

@racejam.bsky.socialWe timed the new tracks to make sure the laps felt right. Then JReal showed up and started hitting under-a-minute laps within a day. Feels about right 😅🏁

@racejam.bsky.socialRace Jam multiplayer chaos: someone flipped the Viper, someone forgot the stunt controls, and everyone realized JReal was already so far ahead that first place had basically vanished 😅🏁
