wildest motor sport action that happens on water period.

Just wanted to throw a little video up on how the game is looking! A LOT of behind the scenes stuff like setting up the leaderboard servers, livery schemes, working on trailer templates, optimizing the game, and getting my demo ready has been going on this week. But, I also got the wake system working 100% better, been working on environmental graphics(like the water, islands, etc.), and talking with the new 3D modeler who I am sure I will introduce very soon! VERY cool stuff happening. Hope you're ready for a demo soon!

ALSO... if you know any Jet Sprint racers or ex racers let me know. Could use some real race feel feedback!

This might be the funniest jetsprint crash video I’ve ever seen. After clipping a bank and rolling twice, the Navigator’s man parts were smashed by the 5-point harness and he wasn’t ashamed of letting the safety crew know about it. Jolly Rodgers - Jet Sprint Crash w/ Tj.Burrow-Navigator

Former F/A 18 pilot of the U.S Navy - Jolly Rodgers POV! What a WILD sport I’ve fallen in love with. 🚤

I think the CoDrivers Navigation Hand is something that may be easy to miss at first, but is a small detail the means a lot. Take a watch of how it interacts with course directions, gforces applied, and overall navigation!

Working on the water spray/chine today! First iteration. How does it look?! Trying to get it to look as realistic as possible without having it take up massive amounts of GPU usage.

If I get a Steam page set up, how many of you would support the game by just wishlisting it?

Thinking about getting that going soon. I should have a playable demo ready in the near future.

Didn't have a ton of time to work on it today, but I did add some head turn and camera wobble this rev. I'm also still working on the dash and redoing some of the assets that need it.

The UI has been completely redone across all the screens too. Excited to show you guys more of that soon.

The handling is probably what I'm most excited about right now. Tweaked several values today and when I tell you this thing feels like it's skipping across the water, I mean it. I cannot wait for you guys to try it.

Sound is another thing I still need to finish. It's in there, but it's definitely not where I want it yet.

A few months ago I started making a jet sprint racing game. Being an redneck American, it's been cool learning about the sport and realizing just how much New Zealand is to thank for it..

I want to give a nod to where the sport came from, but I don't want it to feel forced or like I'm just trying to be funny.

A few ideas I've had:

• Career mode starts in New Zealand. (Haven't even started on career mode yet...)
• Tracks inspired by NZ landscapes (not perfectly recreating real tracks to avoid licensing bs).
• Loading screen facts about the history of the sport.
• A thank you to the NZ jet sprint community in the credits.

But I'd rather hear from you guys.

If you were playing a jet sprint game, what little details would make you smile a little or realize some work went in to it?

I'd rather include small details that people from NZ would notice and appreciate, whether that's the scenery, the culture, the history, or something else entirely.

Thanks!

Just a little daily update video. Controller died just before recording, so inputs are with the keyboard, they're tough to use, so maybe I need to work on that? The dash I am currently remodeling so ignore that. But Got the hull looking better, water looking natural, grass looks grassy! The wave physics was the best part of today. Riding over your own wake feels fluid and natural now. Let me know if this looks like were headed in the right direction! Thanks for all the support. Jump in the discord to chat with me if you have any suggestions! Peep the livery. I messed with the livery editor today a bit. Do you think M+K controls need tuned in? Or is controller or wheel and petal more important?

What's your first impression on the visuals? Things I think are weak...

- The background reads as a painted backdrop the moment you move.

- The navigator arm doesn't have a racesuit on.

-Head clips in the side of the boat cage sometimes.

- The venue is empty. No crowd, no marquees, no trailers. I think most of what reads as cheap is emptiness rather than polygon count, but I'd like to know if you agree.

- The cockpit is halfdone... the wheel is thin, no decals or wiring yet.

What I actually want to know: what's the first thing your eye catches as wrong? What pulls you out immediately. Happy to have it taken apart.

Livery editor is in! Download PNG template, paint your boat in any photo editor, import it in, done. Free for everyone, and a community sharing hub is on the way. This game's being built on its community, so let's see what you make. 🎉 👀

Hey everyone!

A jet boat has no steering at idle. Lift off the throttle mid-corner and you're a passenger.

JETSPRINT is a time trial through the tightest motorsport nobody's made a game about. Hairpin turns, half a metre of water, and a course you have to memorize before you can be fast. Ride the banks, cross your own wake, and find out what a hull does when the intake comes out of the water.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/JetSprintRacing amazing.

Let me know! Be honest please. Should I go for a totally different vibe or is this in the right realm in your opinion? I have tried a few different UI setups and this has been my favorite so far. 👀 The background is actually a video of your best recorded lap on the map, if you don't have one it is just a static boat floating on the starting line.

A few days ago I posted about my Jet Sprint Racing game and got some REALLY good feedback from this community! I wanted to truly express how grateful I am for the encouragement I received. It's an incredible feeling when something you've poured hours into building reaches the point where people are asking, "When can I play it?".

Today I am teasing the map editor system! A LOT of people were asking about the maps... there will be hundreds (or even thousands) of maps... as long as the community makes their own with me! I plan on adding a code system so users will be able to share their maps, have their own leaderboards, and have a chance to be featured on the main screen at the beginning of each week where players across the game will be able to try to beat your times! I have so so many community aspect planned items I am planning on adding to this game. (Tournament nights, live events, stream nights, etc...) I'm so excited to hear y'alls feedback this time around! Lets me know what you think!!!

THANK YOU!!!

(ps. forgot this is my first time showing the wake update. I increased the amount wake effect has on the boat, making your jet come out of the water if you cross your own wake, as well as weight shifting over the wake if you're perpendicular to it! Lots of cool stuff here!)

I have it on my calendar to go to a jet sprint race in September and I’m beyond excited. I’m also the guy that posted a few days ago about making a game about jet sprints. I’m wondering as a viewer (or pit member, or driver, whatever) what stands out about these kinds of events. I know one answer I’ve seen was just how twitchy and fast they are. But does the audience get to see the course before as well? How do the drivers practice the course? Like just looking at the map? Jet skis? What else stood out to you? The noise? The livery wraps? Do people stand and cheer or typically sit? What else does my game need to capture for the environment?
