During Steam NextFest, F2D - Steer to Persevere became the 5th most played racing demo, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from players and influencers.
The game is the brainchild of Zyg, a solo indie developer from France, blending a passion for racing with a love of retro gaming. As a father of 2 young children Zyg decided to focus on Asynchronous multiplayer instead of live multiplayer. This not only makes it easier to engage in multiplayer on a game without high player count but also a smaller time investment for players. (Such as fathers who used to enjoy 16 bit racers.)
