Dirt Rally Manager

Rallying & Game Development Blog

Hi all,

I guess, for all of you, there is no hope about this game to be released, but I’d like to say, that it didn’t die. The whole idea is still alive, I am working on it, just the development of new version was a bit slower than before, due to lack of time, but since the last month, I am are working on it. I’ll try to post more often to the blog, all the obstacles I face and etc.

Hello,

This year I had opportunity to go to Acropolis rally, which was held in Loutraki, 100km away from Athens. Unfortunately, my photo camera broke, so the quality of photos are really bad and all the photos I took are only from the service park area. I went there by bus and didn’t have a chance to go to any stage, because it was out of the city and quite far away. But it was nice to visit at least service park and to see all rally drivers live: Loeb, Ogier, KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN, Hirvonen, Latvala, P. Solber and others. The winner of the rally was Sebastien Ogier, 2nd place Sebastien Loeb and M. Hirvonen.

You can find some photos and videos in our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/dirtrally.

Hi all,

First, I’d like to apologize that I didn’t write anything since end of March. I can’t give any other reasonable explanation rather than just say that I  didn’t have time for dirt rally at all (because of my main job), which is absolutely bad if I still want to launch it. So for 2 months development was stopped, but things will change very soon. I will start working on it again and soon I will give other announcements about how is going with that.

Finally, I’d like to say thanks to all those people who believe in me and that one day dirt rally will be launched again!

I am receiving quite many questions in different ways (email, facebook, etc..) when the game will be launched. It’s really nice to know, that there are people who are waiting for the game to be released. Because of you, we are fully motivated to go foward!

Thank you

Hello,

as I promised, here are some updates from game development process.

What features are upcoming in the new version.

  • Once registered, you will get two cars. There will be two types of cars: 4WD and 2WD. Like in the real world rally championship.
  • Once registered, you will become the manager of one of existing teams in the game. You will be able to pick the name of the team.
  • Teams – robots. These teams will be handled automatically, the only difference that it won’t have real managers, but as soon as new players will register, this team will become a real team with real manager. This is not a unique idea, we think this is the best way to fulfill the groups and rally events. It’s not so interesting to compete in a rally with only 2 or 3 competitors, much more fun to go with 20 of them, right?
  • New division system is upcoming. There are going to be 3 main divisions: Europe, USA and Japan (we haven’t decided about the names yet). What does it mean ? It means, that in every division the LIVE event will be held depending on that time zone. So for example, in Europe LIVE rally will be held at 7PM Berlin time and in USA division 7PM USA time. So players from all the world will be able to watch the LIVE events as well. The groups system will remain the same – mixed. It can have managers from multiple countries.
  • LIVE events will have 3 days, nothing has changed. Although, days could have different number of SS. It could have three long special stages or 5 – 6 shorter. So this makes game more flexible and interesting.
  • Multilingual game. In the beginning we are planning to start with 2 languages: English and Lithuanian. But in long term we are planning to translate it to as many languages as we can.
  • You will be able to repair up to 9 different car parts.
  • Youths
  • Many more functions soon..

 

Keep in touch! :)

We got rid of “-” in our domain name. We think it looks much better now. So, every user who will come to the old domain will be automatically redirected to the new domain address – www.dirtrally.net.

Finally, we are ready to go with our blog! Once again, welcome to our Dirt Rally
rallying & game development blog!

Main topic of this blog will be about rally, championships, results.. and game development processes. I will mostly write about things related to game development and issues I come up in daily basis. You, as a future player, should comment in posts where I will ask about one or other game feature, so you will be involved in game development process.

My colleagues will mostly write about rallying.

Default language of this blog will be English. Also, other languages are available. You can see it on the right sidebar.

See you soon!
