notmycar Battle Royale Dev Tracker

We hoped this day would never come, but here we are. After 2 1/2 years of long nights and weekends trying to get notmycar off the ground, we have decided to shut down the servers as of midnight on 9/30. It was a difficult decision, but one that we feel is right for us at this time. We had big plans for the game, including taking it to console and adding new game modes, but unfortunately we weren't able to secure the investment to do so. FYI, making games is hard, and making money making games is even harder.
We are greatly appreciative of all of the support and love we've received from the community since the game launched - especially those of you who were with us from the very beginning. To the Content Crew and Auto Club - thanks for your additional support taking screenshots, capturing video, and in general helping us test and tune the game. We had loads of fun working with you. To those of you who showed up to our playdates, even when they were scheduled at the last minute and were... Read more

A message from NMC Studios:
Hey there, everyone. We have been discussing what to do about the problem with people teaming up in solos quite a bit over the last few days. It's unfortunate that people are doing this, and we realize that it is ruining the experience for many of you, so we have decided to institute a ban on any players who are verified to have been teaming up in solo mode. Here's how it will work:
Anyone suspected of teaming should be reported directly to the #report-players channel in our official Discord[discord.gg]. Please provide as much info and evidence of teaming as possible - video showing teamers working together with their username clearly identified is ideal. The dev team will review the reports and will make a final determination on whether someone was intentionally teaming up or not. If verified, we will suspend that player's account for 7 days for their first offence and 30 days for their second offence. If a player is found to be teaming a third time, they wil... Read more

Hey Drivers,
Our team has been hard at work with all the feedback you've been yelling sending in, and I've been told we're "psyched" that everyone is getting in here and giving us all this material to work with. So without further ado, here's what we got for ya:
  • New multi-region servers added for North America East, Europe, and Asia. First region to blow up a server wins a free flag for the region! Not sure how we'll fulfill that if the server blows up, but that's tomorrow's problem!
  • Audio mix update including fixes for choppers, personal positional sound, and more. Are we making this too easy?

Now, we have temporarily disabled squad play while we work on the rest of the list of updates. I know, I know. But hey, we want to make sure these servers can keep up with all the mayhem, don't we?
For now, you'll have to run solo - but stay tuned - it won't be long until you and your closest friends can go back to bonding over good ol' fashioned vehicular chaos again.

I'm excited to announce the Early Access Steam launch of notmycar, a free to play battle royale game entirely with cars! It's notmycar, all one word, all lower case. I'm going to level with you, we spent more time developing the game than the title.
An influencer and an overpaid marketing executive told me to say notmycar is like Rocket League meets Fortnite. I wanted to use "Twisted Metal meets PUBG," but they told me that was, "Dated," and that I was, "Yelling a lot," and to, "Put down the sword." Millennials.
It's free to play and it's the fastest battle royale game on Earth because it's played with cars and cars are faster than people.
Seriously though, its total vehicular mayhem. You’re on a massive island battleground and have to fight for your life at breakneck speeds to outlast the competition and remain the last car standing. Drop, drive and destroy with an arsenal of brutal weapons and abilities. You’ll need a skilled hand on the wheel and the trigger to win too.
