Hello friends! Just a reminder that while we won't be removing this account for the foreseeable future, we are much more active on The Other Site. Follow us elsewhere to continue getting updates. You can always find us at

We published a new Nightmare Kart Update on our Patreon, where you can follow along (for free, even!) to get more in-depth updates that don't quite fit on social media. https://t.co/QcADzXeVDF

@b0tser We can't wait to share the full cabinet with you at @MAGFest , and if we won't see you there, then hopefully we can at the official launch a bit later in the year! See you soon!

Thank you to Lilith (@b0tser) for allowing us the opportunity to build this cabinet, and for working so closely with us on figuring out the challenge of these controls! She's been deeply involved since the beginning and it's been such a joy to work on this with her!

Wanna get involved? We need your help! We're looking for upholsterers, fabricators, metal workers, etc. Anyone with relevant fabrication knowledge and in the NYC area can come help create the ultimate arcade cabinet! Reach us contact@arcadecommons.org

Some additional features to get excited about: - A reveal-able USB port for alternate controls for accessibility - Tournament ready with connections for external display - New Arcade Game mode, developed for and premiered alongside the cabinet

This render has a minimalist approach for the side art, because this is a work in progress. What we bring to MAG will almost certainly look a little different from our final launch cabinet! We're focusing on wood molded details, and going from there.

The cab will also feature lots of aesthetic touches that really make it scream "Big Engine", with light-up base, a steel "grill" and engine exhaust piping

It just didn't feel like a true piece of nightmare-punk machinery without a lush interior. We're adding upholstery and a curtain affect for the marquee, which itself will use a custom version of the logo, complete with a fully 3D stained glass effect to really make it pop.

You may have noticed the "hood" of the cabinet, designed to look like a carriage canopy. We are considering a few approaches to this, including vintage baby buggies! R&D on this, like everything, will be a process so we'll add updates as we can.

So let's talk details! We wanted the cab to feel less like "operating a race car" and more "piloting the contraption". Nearly every input is a mechanical switch with satisfying feedback. We heavily customized a sim racer steering system and sequential shifter for the main inputs.

Friends, It's a Nightmare-Before-Christmas-Miracle: the full render of the Nightmare Kart cabinet! Our lead designer, @mattfryed has cooked up something extremely special. We wanted to wait until it was as close to final as possible before showing it, and that day is here.

So uh, y'all want more Nightmare Kart cabinet updates👀

As a general reminder, you can find us on the other site @arcadecommons.org
