Aster League: 2179 Demo

About this game

Aster League 2179 is a Crash Team Racing inspired spinoff to the small vehicles content of BallisticNG.

Taking place 20 years after BallisticNG, Aster has developed its anti-gravity bike league into a major sporting event that sits alongside the AGL. Experimenting with afterburner technology, Aster has carved it's own segment of AG racing where boost is king and piloting in a straight line is a sure-fire way to lose the race.

Aster League is currently Windows only. Native Linux versions will be coming later!

What exists right now

The demo is a super early release to gather feedback on the games foundation.

There's currently:

  • Cassandra, a track set in the location of BallisticNGs first track.

  • The KA10 kart and LB221 bike. These are placeholders and will be replaced in later updates.

  • 1 pilot character, another placeholder which is going to be replaced in later updates.

  • Time Trial and Free Play gamemodes

  • Toxic, Apex, Halberd, Spectre and Zen speed classes

  • 2 songs. More will come in later updates.

What's coming

The demo is going to be updated continuously as development continues.

The goals are:

  • 3 more tracks

  • New vehicles

  • Pilot characters

  • Ai racers and the core Race gamemode

  • Weapons

The FInal Game

In broad strokes, the final game looks like:

  • Several vehicles covering karts, bikes and other bonus vehicles. Each vehicle will have selectable liveries.

  • A character representing every racing team within the BallisticNG world.

  • Vehicle and characters are cosmetic only. Stats will be chosen separately.

  • Several cups worth of tracks. Primarily new locations, but a few locations from BallisticNG will make a return.

  • Light combat elements. No eliminations, weapons will provide ways to slow each other down.

  • A campaign with an open hub, with mods being able to add their own.

  • 4 player split-screen

  • Online multiplayer (direct IP or through Steam)

  • Extensive modding capabilities

  • DRM free

Exact numbers for content will be revealed when early access begins.
