Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
Another historic marvel has been previewed first on Patreon last week then on Twitter today for the Ages of Speed racing game under development by Chris and Tony West. The 1937 Auto Union Type C Streamline is notable as the first mid-engined racing car and was designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
The Ages of Speed developer plans to have multiple bodywork variations as-seen in the real car. Some of these are shown in the Patreon post.
Notably, the Nazi flag was on the real car. This obviously isn’t any statement of any kind and I would expect many markets to censor it.
