An update from OFG

Dear drivers,

You haven't had any news about Karting Superstars (KSUP) in well over a year, and we haven't updated the game since Feb 20th, 2024. Why not?

The short answer:

We're a very small team that can only work effectively on one game at a time, and we had to pause work on KSUP because it wasn't going to pay all of our expenses on its own. We'll get back to KSUP when we can, but we don't yet know when that will be.

The long answer:

We paused development on KSUP at the beginning of 2024. At that time the income from our games wasn’t enough to sustain our team, so we pivoted to doing work-for-hire that would allow us to stay afloat while we looked for the next right opportunity, which came later in 2024 in the form of iRacing Arcade, which we’ve been working on ever since.

Our goal at Original Fire Games is to create outstanding arcade racing games. We loved building Circuit Superstars (CSUP) and, while KSUP hasn’t yet received enough of our time to be a finished product, it remains our intention to come back to it with the skills and resources we've developed since its development was paused.

As a small team, we need to focus on one game at a time. It is how we ensure anything we make is done to the quality standards that we have for ourselves. We hope that the choices we’ve made to create an economically sustainable studio allow us to return to finish KSUP in the near future.

We want to close by expressing a big thank you for playing our games, and a special thank you to those of you who bought KSUP in Early Access. We hope to continue making games you love for many years to come.

Thank you,

OFG
