This is honestly a great game and pretty underrated.
I feel like more additions like (listed below by another commenter) a police chase mode and more maps would genuinely make it worth it as a paid game because it's already unbelievably customisable.
tbh I would actually be happy to help in the development of this game but I'm working on my own projects right now, but I'd be genuinely glad to help if I get spare time!
This game is super underrated!! Is it possible for me to know how you simulated everything to such detail (like suspension, different tyre types etc.)? It would be great if you could point to where I can start learning about this stuff!
You can start learning simulation either by using physics engines or by developing your own physics engine. If you use a physics engine such as https://projectchrono.org/ you can customize it to get the best gameplay for your taste. If you develop your own physics engine you will need to invest more time but you have more control on every bit therefore you might get better results. For Infinite Overtake I developed a specific engine.
If you are familier with programming and physics you can learn it. You can even ask AI systems such as chatgpt or gemini or such to teach you step by step. Once you develop a simulation base the most fun part starts which is customizing parameters to obtain a game that suits your taste.
For me the most important thing in Infinite Overtake was to obtain a system which would respond to keyboard control in a way that the car would obey the driver's intentions. I customized quite a bit of detail of the forces on suspensions, tires, torso and every other part of the car and the game turned out to be fine.
You may also need to add some smart input controls. For example in Infinite Overtake, the driving wheel is assisted by the system to stabilize fish tailing. Also as the car gets faster spoilers respond dynamically. There are countless ideas used to make the game playable. When you start testing your game (if you develop one) you will see that many ideas pop in your mind to customize it for a better gameplay experience.
that's absolutely my new favourite game, but if you add some more things it would be the best: - would prefer to have car damage (i dont ask for a beamng detail level, just add some smoke if there is a big crash, wheels breaking, camera shaking...) - a button to toggle auto respawn so i can decide if i want to respawn or try getting back on the road by myself - also add more maps like city, forest, highway, etc. - I also would like a menu to change the controls because the positions of the manual gear keyboard controls (g,v,b), for example, are uncomfortable -if there is a police chase mode it would be perfect -also the car interiors need a little more things to add like mirrors (if they dont work it isnt a problem), side windows, passenger seat etc
i think with a game with added details as those i listed would be even purchasable with money!
Those are great ideas. Some of them are easy to develop and some are not so. I sometimes think about developing a second version but haven't been able to find the spare time. Your feedback is a treasure. Thank you so much!
a second version would be great, just take some time in the holidays or something and a step at a time you can make it! you also don't have to do all of this in one time, you can do many little updates. Also i'm curious about what game engine you use...
In the current version making the game downloadable is not straightforward. But I will consider your feedback and support it in a major release in the future :)
Hi. I really like the game. One small Issue. I play on an iPad with a Keyboard and I can’t turn the sound on. Could you please make it a key or something to mute and unmute? Thanks.
bro game is super fun, the car feels good to drive, i only wish you would add some settings to stop music, because i d rather play it with different music, but i wanna hear the engine to
Nice game, there aren't many of this kind with semi-realistic physics. Also really loving the bumps and how the cars behave on them. Adaptive difficulty is also a very welcome thing. Hopefully there will be some kind of goal added, a rouguelike reach destination with car upgrades maybe?
I was thinking about getting on and off a truck while the truck is in motion. Imagine a cop is chasing you, the truck is your friend, and you get on it and avoid the cop. Many other scenarios can be imagined :)
The game gets better when you get used to the controls. I recommend the Race mode (press M or press the button at the bottom right which says "Sport") for fast drivers because in the Race mode the driving wheel becomes more sensitive. It will be more challenging but the car will respond quicker to your inputs.

best game ever
plz make a downloadable version

Thank you for the kind words! :)
I'm in the same situation. If I had the time I'd develop a second version of this game. I'll let you know if I find the time to do so.
Cheers!

I hope these were helpful.
Thanks for the advice! So basically I see that attention to detail is pretty important. Will definitely use this in my next project.
whats the name of the project?
This game is honestly wild
Thank youuu! :)
Didn’t expect this game to work on Linux.
But it surprisingly does.

I'm a bit single task person so I need several spare weeks in a row to develop the second version but I'll consider your suggestions. Thank you again.
I used BabylonJS for 3D graphics and audio. It is a very good game engine.
imagine if this game had more than one car
You mean multiplayer?
I mean just diffrent type of cars
It would be great!
I have an idea like a car design tool embedded in the game so that users can design and add their cars.
:) good idea
i was going really fast and i hit a jump, and i landed back on the road, but i didn't and i phased through the road and crashed.

Must be insane driving xD
That's actually a bug that I had not been able to spot. It needs to be fixed. Thank you very much for the feedback! :)
No problem. Amazing game!
Thank you! :)
can you make the game downloadable I i want to download it
Hi! Thank you for the feedback!

Hi. I really like the game. One small Issue. I play on an iPad with a Keyboard and I can’t turn the sound on. Could you please make it a key or something to mute and unmute? Thanks.
And full screen doesn’t even let me use the letter keys anyway, so…
Hmm. Something I had never tested. I'll test and try to fix it soon.
Thank you for the feed backs! :)
You’re welcome!
Another weird thing is that the font changes across each Device.
bro game is super fun, the car feels good to drive, i only wish you would add some settings to stop music, because i d rather play it with different music, but i wanna hear the engine to
thank you in advance
Good suggestion over there! I'll add the stop music option.
Thank youuu! :)
LES GOOO A STOP MUSIC BUTTON
THANK U VERY MUCH
Yes it's coming tomorrow :)
(Sorry for being late I was busy)
Music off option is out there now! :)
You can use the button at the bottom right corner of the screen to turn the music off.
Cheers!

fun game
Thank youu :)
got to 251 kmh
Goood! :)
If you haven't already tried, set tires as stiff. That might go a little faster.
got to 259 now
i only got to 248, i have no traffic, flat road, race mode and basically no turns. is it because im using the CVT?
260 is the new record I guess :)
ah no man
any possibilty off adding something like an ultimate car with lots off grip and 1000 hp maybe?
Yes, I can add in the next version. Listed that in my TODO :)
ok nice thax
Super fun little game! The driving is surprisingly on-point!! :)
Thank youuuu! :)
Very nice driving mechanics!
Thank you! :)
Really satisfying physics!
Thank you!!! :)
Nice game, there aren't many of this kind with semi-realistic physics. Also really loving the bumps and how the cars behave on them. Adaptive difficulty is also a very welcome thing.
Hopefully there will be some kind of goal added, a rouguelike reach destination with car upgrades maybe?
Thank you! :) I'll consider your suggestions.
I have an idea something like this :)
As a starting point or as a game mechanic? I'm intrigued how this might look like in game
I was thinking about getting on and off a truck while the truck is in motion. Imagine a cop is chasing you, the truck is your friend, and you get on it and avoid the cop. Many other scenarios can be imagined :)
pls make it so wasd works too
Thank you for the feedback! I will add WASD.
I've been working on my new game for a while. It is about to finish in 2-3 weeks. Then I will add WASD to Infinite Overtake.
thx it will be verry nice cuz my arrows are broken
thx it will be verry nice cuz my arrows are broken
Hellooo! I finally updated the keyboard controls. Now WASD works :)
Also my new game Goofy Soccer 2 - The Maestro is released today.
Cheers
thank you verry much!!
I wonder what game you make next cus this is a cool gam
Thank you plarkimier!
I am currently developing Goofy Soccer The Maestro. It is a sequel of my 17 year old game.
ok dragonom i love you
can you plx make a drift game for browse cuz i play on chromebook
I cannot promise but I will consider making a drift game :)
DRAGONOM YOUR THE BEST ITCH GAME CREATOR I EVER SEEN!!..... So why dont you make more games! :D
Thank you! Last year I had more time that's why I haven't released a new game lately. Your comment motivates! I'll try my best :)
I dont realy like the game cus its the arrow keys most ppl use w s a d so its just realy uncomefordlb for me
Thank you for the feedback! I will consider adding new keyboard configurations :)
Thanks that would help me out alot :D keep up the good work
Hi! I added WASD controls to the game.
Also you can check my new game Goofy Soccer 2 - The Maestro :)
The controls are challenging but that's what I like about it
Thank you for your comment!
The game gets better when you get used to the controls. I recommend the Race mode (press M or press the button at the bottom right which says "Sport") for fast drivers because in the Race mode the driving wheel becomes more sensitive. It will be more challenging but the car will respond quicker to your inputs.
Surprisingly addictive. Good work! 100% would be a fire mobile game.
Thank you! :) I will consider the mobile game idea :)
make the drift game on browse so i can play it
Make a new game like a drifting game
Make a
THE GREATEST GAME EVER!!!!
I'm not sure if it will be the best but I have taken your suggestion to my to do list :)
Currently, I use these settings to drift:
I use manual transmission (see right bottom corner) to have better control. Also you can use the Tires: Drift option.
This is amazing!!!
Thank you! :)
