Jalopnik••technology
Key Points:
- "LANESPLIT" is an upcoming motorcycle game by solo developer FunkyMouse, focused on weaving through traffic at high speeds to create a zen, flow-state experience similar to drifting in the "Forza Horizon" series.
- The game, currently in early access with a free demo on Steam, is noted for being simple but buggy, with ongoing developer updates addressing issues based on player feedback.
- Unlike large, complex upcoming titles like "Grand Theft Auto" or the James Bond game from the "Hitman" developers, "LANESPLIT" offers a minimalist, infinite runner-style gameplay ideal for relaxing and zoning out.
- The full release in January will include more bikes and player customization options, and the game features breakcore music
