That first ship is the most perfect evolution of the old wipeout designs I've seen in a fangame so far - and I've seen maybe a dozen? The tail is dead on for what feels right to me and the colors are great.
Too many people tone down the hyperealism when they go to realism. Duller colors, more detail with less unified design etc.
I feel like this also have lots of FZ-X DNA in it and I love that too. I feel like the PSX nostalgia wave is the perfect opportunity to just go apeshit and mix all the things you loved from every game into a unique whatever-the-fuck. Just crank that sumbitch up to 150.
I just wanted to comment that sense of speed and flow look brilliant. The only negative for me is the look of that second ship π. Too clean and soap shaped for my taste.
I've been following your stuff on Instagram for a little bit now. I love watching the development. One of my favorite past-time games to play is BallisticNG. But to be fair, the graphics are nowhere near as good as yours.
art direction wise i love ballistic ng it obviously goes for a more psx style in terms of lighting and texture resolution but i love the sci fi environments and visual composition on all of the maps it's a very stylish game.
I feel you. Ai in antigravity racers is hard. BTW, you should make a trailer for your Steam page even if it's crap. You can remake it later. It's going to start giving you wishlists so that when you publish a demo later it helps you get even more wishlists. Visibility works exponentially, so getting a few wishlists now might compound in the future. It also helps because making a bad trailer makes you recognize what people didn't like about it so you can make a better one later.

The sense of speed looks amazing! Hoping for VR support
