Credit

No generative AI was used in the creation of Marble Racer. Not for its code, music, materials, level designs, or other assets. I do use some models from the cloud browser made by other individuals or teams for some marble skins, but otherwise everything in the game was home *rolled* by yours truly.


The original build of Marble Racer - Roll & Rumble was made by WaveParadigm in the span of one month for s&box's Game Jam II. All code, music*, and level design was done solo.

Since its jam submission approximately 250 hours of developer time has been put into the game.

*(Music was largely pulled from music he has made in the past, though the Lobby & Victory jingles were made during the month, and some remix work was done to make a few tracks ready for the racetrack)

Putting everything back and praying it doesn't crash after the update

Added
  • The All Hail Big Marble podium now presents you with a confirmation screen, instead of sending you right to it.
  • Attempting to implement the built-in chat system, if it wants to play nice.
Known Issues
  • Some users are reporting falling through the map. I've yet to reproduce these issues and haven't changed anything on the physics front in months so I'm not sure how to address this.
  • Other users are reporting engine-level crashes in some locations. These have not come with any form of crash log and started occurring in the past few weeks, while the game was not getting updated. To this end I encourage any user who finds a consistent crash spot to open an issue here: https://github.com/Facepunch/sbox-public/issues
