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.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Digital Bros, owner of 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni, posted an earnings report today detailing financials up to December 31, 2023. The report shows that the company revenue decreased significantly compared to the year before and listed a net loss of 6.4M Euros. Assetto Corsa, however, is as strong as ever and doing an incredible job of propping up the finances, doing 12.2M Euros in revenue alone.
While previewing their business outlook for 2024, they also mentioned that the “launch of the Season 2024 pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione” will release “on April 1st, 2024”, confirming once again that the Nürburgring Nordscheifle will feature.

The pack was initially teased all the way back in November and certainly does seem to have been delayed for some reason to have then taken this long. I’m hopeful things are still running ok within the studio, especially considering there is no mention within this report of Assetto Corsa 2 impacting company finances.
