Hog Havoc
A downloadable Hog Havoc
Embrace the chaos.
Tired of paying $70 for bloated, boring games? Miss when games were just about fun?
Then try a combat racing game that will even let you run the whole operation in an integrated tycoon mode!
Hog Havoc is a FREE low-poly combat racing hybrid that combines the best modern and retro features, letting you play solo or with friends (up to 8 players / bots) with split screen local or peer-to-peer multiplayer - no servers or live service required! You’ll get today’s party gameplay experience with old-school gaming soul.
Chaotic Combat Core:
• Battle Enemies: Shoot Chaos Balls to set other racers on fire, slow them in mud, or make them slide on ice.
• Battle the Map: Chaos Barrels absorb and spread hazards. The Big Pig guardian punishes careless shots. And the course fires even more balls for you to dodge.
• Battle the Unknown: Bots have over a dozen unique, random traits that determine how they race, react, and fight. And they change every round - making each race feel fresh.
More Choices. More Variety. More Fun:
• Multiple Courses: Pick an obstacle course filled with jumps and mud pits, or a frenetic oval for close-quarters combat racing. Later, combine the two in an epic free-range battle.
• Multiple Modes: Pure races, knockout, collection, combat, speed runs, and hybrid modes.
• Multiple Environments: Daytime, nighttime, and fog-filled versions of each add to the atmosphere.
Feature Rich. Performance Oriented:
• Retro Heaven: Couch view lets you have up to 4 players on screen at once. Optional CRT overlay with 90’s console emulated graphics makes it like traveling back in time
• Modern Touches: Streamer-friendly Picture-in-Picture mode provides a separate view of you or any other racer from either the camera network or drone.
• Superior Spectating: Spectate from your fully-controllable drone or the broadcast quality camera system that puts AAA games to shame. Auto-following (drone or network), auto-zooming, and even auto-switching lets you always have the best view without lifting a finger.
• Potato Friendly: Developed on an iGPU, it’s been optimized from the ground up to run on older and lower-end hardware - so you don’t have to break the bank to play a free-to-play game.
Build An Empire:
Most racing games are just racing. Most tycoon games are just tycoon. Hog Havoc combines the two - letting you run the park while you run races. Start small: renting stands, then owning, then operating the whole park. Plus you’ll be able to share your customize park with the whole world when you host games!.
Development Roadmap:
1) Local Single / Multiplayer: Eight race modes against bots with randomized traits (aggression, defense, grudges & more). Up to four local players split screen.
2) Peer-to-Peer Network Multiplayer: Connect with friends around the world - solo or with your local group.
3) Solo Tycoon Mode: Start small and expand until the whole park is yours, integrating the races you run with the day-to-day operations of the park.
And remember, all this is free - and YOU can help make it happen!

The AI Disclaimer: I created a sign system that allows players to post acronym signs (LOL, WTH etc) to communicate. Then I discovered it falls under the CVAA (Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act) which requires equivalent audio support. Since I don't have the budget to hire a voice actor, 8 Placeholder ai voice samples were added (off by default). It was either this or disable the sign system, and the sign system is too cool to disable.
