Description
SmuggleCraft is a quest-based hovercraft game with randomly generated tracks and branching narrative. Players smuggle contraband, upgrade their hovercraft, and run from the authorities as they discover the incredible stories of the inhabitants of the unforgiving and troubled world Dirahl. The game features randomly generated tracks, fully upgradeable hovercrafts with hundreds of combinations, quest-based missions complete with illegal contraband and high-speed chases, and a branching story with alternate endings that change based on player choice.
History
Ready to finally make a game you could sink your teeth into, Happy Badger Studio decided to question what's typically expected of a racing game, and make something totally unique. SmuggleCraft is a racing game that not only feels great to play, but also gives players a greater sense of purpose. Inspired by classic racing games and modern games for change, SmuggleCraft is set on a politically divided world in which the player must decide who to help in order to get the upgrades they need, even if it means doing a favor for someone with questionable intentions.

Selected Articles
- "I was hooked. There was a distinct Wipeout feel to the control scheme and ship handling. Drifting around corners felt directional and not tractional, appropriate for a hovercraft. The inclusion of a strafe ability also lent to degree of finesse that many games with similar vehicles need but almost always lack.”"
