For the past year I've been chipping away at a new game project in the background. I've recently began mentioning it, have posted a few nondescript teasers in the Neognosis discord, and have even backported some of the shader improvements for it into BallisticNG (there might still be some more stuff to come).Ever since the introduction of the small vehicles content in BallisticNG there's been a very particular idea I've wanted to execute, based on one of my favourite racing games.Taking place 20 years after BallisticNG, Aster has developed its anti-gravity bike league into a major sporting eve

Welcome to The Neurodrome, Lance System's advanced training environment.This DLC will be expanding on the virtual tracks previously explored in Nova Park and Vespera Heights with 6 new tracks. As with previous DLCs, ships (both 2159 and 2280 variants) will be receiving new liveries and there will be a new campaign to play through too!All layouts are finished. The expansion will contain 5 layouts for the 2159 physics mode and a layout for the floorhugger physics mode. 2280 physics will of course also be playable on all 6 of them. The price will be the same as the other track DLCs.The first trac

Hey everyone, we have a small update with a couple of fixes for you.We've been releasing these as hotfixes when issues have cropped up over the past few months and we had previously posted a 1.4.1.1 changelog on our discord.

This is our last major feature update which reworks multiplayer, introduces many QOL additions and brings a major update to the Layout Creator, featuring controller support!Without further ado, let's get straight into the changes:TracksOceanaOceana is the second 2280 track, a free track that completes an old concept from the cut 2280 content of version 0.8. While it's designed to play best in 2280, it's also compatible with 2159 and floorhugger just like with Gullfoss Run.The game's soundtrack DLC has also been updated with the two songs made as ambience for the track, you can find them in the

Even though it was Steam Deck Verified back in February, that was Valve testing against an opt-in Beta (which is a bit weird) but now the big release is here for the anti-gravity racer BallisticNG.

Coming close to a year and a half in the making, 1.4s release on the default branch is rapidly approaching. As our final major update, 1.4 is focused on reworking 2280, reworking the menus, making a magnitude of QOL changes and implementing long standing community requests. We'll still be working on minor additions, fixing bugs and working on DLCs, but the focus after our support cycle for 1.4 has concluded will be on a new project. Without further delay: 1.4 will be releasing on May 2nd, 2025 But also: 1.4-d69 is now available {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25217624/0358593722c6a57a3587bcf686667338cf17a7

It's been more then a year since we started work on 1.4. To allow us to focus on releasing the most important aspects of the update, we're splitting out a few planned features into smaller releases that'll come after 1.4.

That's another game with the green tick that you might want to pick up. BallisticNG is a Wipeout, Rollcage and Jet Moto inspired racer that's genuinely good.
