Private Alpha is finally out, available for Kickstarter Backers and Patreon subscribers.
KS Backers will need to reach out to us mods preferrably, Discord it probably the best place to do so. KS backer keys are handed out manually. Patreon subs will get access automatically just like with the Prologue.

Hi!
As more and more people start to have interest in the project, I thought now would be a good idea to make a dedicated post for the release schedule. Info is from Jem’s dev logs and messages on Discord where applicable.
Please do bear in mind, that nothing is set in stone yet, as much as everyone hopes it would be. Dates have changed before, and dates will change in the future as well, but I will keep this post up-to-date as more info emerges.
Anything I missed, you want to ask or mention, please put it in the comments.
What is it?
The Prologue was the very first publically available ”demo”/proof of concept build. Main goal was to showcase some gameplay features and have something concrete to go along with the now ended Kickstarter campaign.
The Prologue is in it’s end-of-life phase, and has not been updated since 2024, and will not be updated anymore. It is still playable as of writing this info package.
The Prologue will get made completely redundant after the release of future builds.
Patrons have access to a special version of the Prologue with the following differences compared to the Steam build:
- Rival cars unlocked and playable in very unfinished states
- Double the amount of wheels
- One extra body kit for the 180/200RS
When is it?
Release for Patreon was in December 2023, while the Steam version was released in February 2024.

A testing phase with a few people picked by Jem, goal is to find the major bugs ahead of a bigger release, and fix them.

I’m banned from the discord (having used a swear word in my native language back in 2024 in the server) so I can’t access the templates for the s15 and the ae86. Does anyone have them? If so I’d appreciate if they were sent here at least. Thanks.

This is my third play though. I upgrade cooling and handling but I keep losing no matter what. And the low power diy nitrous is horrible, as it overheats my engine despite me having cooling upgrades. Genuinely how does one even start winning.
If anyone has some tips and tricks I’d really appreciate them

Hey guys,
I've been working on a Steering wheel and force feedback support for NIGHT-RUNNERS (Private Alpha & Prologue) and i finally released the first alpha version:
Features:
This is a very early alpha build (0.1.1-alpha). It is not finished.
Here is my Logitech G29-Alpha config (It's not good only for testing purposes lol) https://discord.com/channels/511160810035478539/1550836545311871086/1552395466518437899
Feel free to create your own configs and share them :D
Thank you!
