About the game
- Online multiplayer
- Versus AI
- Single-player
Redline Riviera is arcade racing along sunlit coast roads, in full 3D with nothing to install. Race other players online or take on AI rivals, across six tracks and a garage of five cars and two bikes.
Under the paint is a custom car physics model running at 120 Hz, and a Node and WebSocket server that runs the online lobby and races. Three of the six tracks are online only.
Arcade feel on a real physics step
The engineering
The car runs on our own physics model at a fixed 120 steps a second, with tyre grip from slip-curve (magic formula) maths and slipstream behind a leading car. The handling is tuned arcade rather than simulation: the car helps you hold the turn you are asking for, so it stays planted and fun to throw about.
The physics carries a version number that the server uses to say which simulation produced a result, which matters once races are online. Dockside and Canyon Run have jumps and road gaps, and the online side is a Node and WebSocket server with a lobby and AI house drivers who fill the grid.
The look and feel
Six tracks take you from the sunlit Riviera Coast and Harbour Nights to Alpine Pass, and then to three online-only tracks: Canyon Run, Dockside and the Citadel Hillclimb. The garage mixes five cars (Redline Coupe, Promenade GT, Sandpiper, Sunset Cuneo and Spritz) with two bikes, the Corsa and the Lumen.
It is full 3D in a browser tab, with no download.
