Carnage Awaits! BeamNG today announced pre-alpha access to their soft-body physics sandbox now called DRIVE. All are welcome to try the limited demo, but BeamNG would rather you spend a little money to join the Alpha testing team. Doing so will give you free updates and access to the developer forums. Currently available in today's alpha build are 5 vehicles and 6 environments. Staff recommend the use of a gamepad or steering wheel, but not keyboards. Click here for controller setup instructions. If all this sounds vaguely familiar, that's because this is the team behind the physics simulation Rigs of Rods. Be sure to try this out and then join the discussion in our forums!
