Nach der mäßig erfolgreichen und dann abgeblasenen Kickstarter-Kampagne hat Bugbear Entertainment in den letzten Tagen (vor allem in der Weihnachtszeit) ziemlich viele Unterstützer für "Next Car Game" hinzugewonnen - u.a. durch die veröffentlichte Tech-Demo und ziemlich viel YouTube-Publicity . Momentan haben 17.338 Unterstützer mehr als 500.000 Dollar ausgegeben. Zum Vergleich: Das nicht erreichte Ziel der Kickstarter-Kampagne lag bei 350.000 Dollar.

"All this is of course a testament to how awesome crowd of supporters we are fortunate enough to have. Although our game is still at a pretty early stage, and as such, contains many missing features and numerous bugs, the players have loved what we already got and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. We've already received a plenty of smart suggestions for future improvements, some of which will of course find their way into the final game. During the coming months we're going to give the game a lot of polish as well as implement new exciting features, and our Early Access supporters have an opportunity to experience the game as it develops and get involved in the development!"

Das Spiel kann derzeit für 25 Dollar auf der offiziellen Website bestellt werden. Alle Käufer erhalten zudem Zugriff auf die Early-Access-Version via Steam. Zahlreiche weitere Features und Co. wollen die Entwickler schrittweise hinzufügen.

"Early Access is being sold through our own website for now, and all our pre-order supporters get to download the game through Steam immediately. The first release contains two playable cars and three tracks, showcasing both track racing and demolition derby action with 24 cars."
