Ocean Riders is a watercraft racing game with accurate physics simulation in a fantastic setting with overpowered turbojet engines and huge waves.

Why a demo before release?

The game is far from complete (as you can see!) but we feel it's time to get some feedback from players. The Steam Racing Event is the perfect opportunity to release a technical demo.
We welcome any kind of feedback. You can reach us via the Steam Community Hub or our Discord server (link on the side).

Why mannequins instead of pilots?

Ahem.... Priorities. This is where we are! We are still working on pilots and looking for ideas in order to spice them up. What would you like to see?

Why are you making this game?

We took inspiration from the great classic Wave Race 64 and decided to harness the power of modern hardware to convey the emotions of riding huge waves.

When will the game be released? What will be the price?

TBD. Wishlist the game to receive updates ;)

What features/content will be in the final game?

Not set in stone yet, features we are considering:

- Time trial on 6 tracks
- Lobby Multiplayer
- Capture the flag Multiplayer
- Procedural infinite relaxing wave surfing
- Mission & combat mode

Any feedback on what you would like to see is appreciated!

Who are you?

We are a micro team of 2 people, experienced in real-time graphics algorithms but new to videogames.

What performance / framerate should I expect?

For a data point at 1080p, we aim to sustain 60fps on an NVIDIA RTX2060 card. You should expect around 30fps on previous generation cards (NVIDIA 1050). If the game works substantially worse for you, please let us know.

Does it run on Steamdeck?

Yes! Steamdeck is a great device and one of our target platforms. You should expect around 30fps on it.

What if the game crashes, doesn't run smoothly or generally sucks?

Please drop us a message.

Will there be a VR version?

It's not planned but certainly a possibility.

Are you looking for a publisher?

We are considering partnering with a publisher. If you are or work for a publisher and are interested in talking to us, drop us a message.

Are you looking for any other help?

We are looking for level designers.
