Hog Havoc

Tired of paying $70 for bloated, boring games? Miss when games were just about fun? Fed up with needing a supercomputer just to hit 30 FPS? Then jump into a combat racing hybrid that combines the best modern and retro features and puts fun first! And you can help shape the game! Hog Havoc is a FREE low-poly combat racer that lets you play solo or with friends (up to 8 players / bots) with split screen local or peer-to-peer multiplayer - no servers or live service required! You’ll get today’s party gameplay fun with old-school gaming soul. Plus, as it expands it will include an integrated tycoon mode - so you don’t just get to race - you’ll get to run the whole operation! Chaotic Combat Core:

• Battle Enemies: Stay ahead of the competition with speed or sabotage. Shoot Chaos Balls to set other racers on fire, slow them in mud, or make them slide on ice and into the depths.

• Battle the Map: It’s not just enemies you need to worry about - the course fires even more balls for you to dodge. Barrels absorb chaos effects and spread hazards. And careless shots bring punishment from the Big Pig Guardian.

• Battle the Unknown: Bots have over a dozen unique, random traits that determine how they race, react, and fight. And they change every round - making each race feel fresh.

More Choices. More Variety. More Fun:

• Multiple Courses: Pick an obstacle course filled with jumps and mud pits, or a frenetic oval for close-quarters combat racing.

• Multiple Modes: Pure races, knockout, collection, combat, speed runs, and hybrid modes.
• Multiple Environments: Daytime, nighttime, and fog-filled versions of each add to the atmosphere.

Feature Rich. Performance Oriented:

• Retro Heaven: Couch view lets you have up to 4 players on screen at once. Optional CRT overlay with 90’s console emulated graphics makes it like traveling back in time

• Modern Touches: Streamer-friendly Picture-in-Picture mode provides a separate view of you or any other racer from either the camera network or drone.
• Superior Spectating: Spectate from a fully-controllable drone or a broadcast quality camera system that puts AAA games to shame. Auto-following (drone or network), auto-zooming, and even auto-switching lets you always have the best view without lifting a finger.

• Potato Friendly: Developed on an iGPU, it’s been optimized from the ground up to run on older and lower-end hardware - so you don’t have to break the bank to play a free-to-play game.

Build An Empire: Hog Havoc won’t just end at the finish line - phase three will bring an integrated Tycoon mode, let you run not just races, but the park itself. Start small: renting stands, then owning until you work your way to operating the whole business. Everything from setting prices to paying employees to handling inventory in a vibrant, interlocking and evolving economy. Keep customers and employees happy and watch your revenues soar. Upset them and watch it all slip away. Plus you’ll be able to share your customized park with the whole world when you host games! Development Roadmap: 1) Local Single & Multiplayer: Multiple race modes against bots with randomized traits (aggression, defense, grudges & more). Up to four local players split screen. 2) Peer-to-Peer Network Multiplayer: Connect with friends around the world - solo or with your local group. 3) Solo Tycoon Mode: Start small and expand until the whole park is yours, integrating the races you run with the day-to-day operations of the park.Download and play today - then give your feedback in the forum to help guide development during early access!The AI Disclaimer: I created a sign system that allows players to post acronym signs (LOL, OMG, GG, etc) to communicate, then discovered the CVAA (Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act) requires equivalent audio support.
