Here's a conversation I've had a lot the last few years

person: hey joon, what are you working on
joon: racing game
person: oh cool, I bet it's weird like your other games.
joon: eh... 😅
person: what's weird about this one?
joon: uhm... 😬

And then I go on an awkward rant about how TrackMania is great but doesn't have much worldbuilding, or how all racing games are just worse versions of Mario Kart, or how beating your own time is more fun than racing against AI's.

@joon In regards to world building and racing, I am reminded of Distance (2018) by Refract. Which to me, had an incridible universe with so much room for mysticism. It just never went beyond the initial scope.
