what makes it fun? what camera angle did you use? Should I add traffic? Is the track length too short or should I make it longer?

The controls feel nice, the driving is what makes it fun in my opinion, I used the first angle, you should add traffic, the track length is pretty good

So There are 2 kinds of traffic in these kinds of games;
1 - in the style of fzero/mariokart where all the cars start out at the beginning and you drive through them until you are at the head of the pack.
2 - Regular random motorist traffic that pops up as you drive down the track similar to RadRacer or RoadRash.

which would be best suited in this case? 1 or 2?

I've fixed the difficulty menu. Now you can choose between hard,normal and easy difficulty. Also added the count down at the start of the level. its also a bit easier to die so be safe.

Currently working on the game ending screen. Going to keep it at 10 tracks per difficulty before the game end screen. Also adding the online leaderboard menu option.

i think '2'
however the game type could just be another option ?
(both types accessible)

I usually pick the most popular option and stick with that because it takes extra programming to include the options that people might not use. Also too many options makes the leaderboard scores unpredictable. But thats 1 vote for option 2. Thanx

Hope you all had a good weekend. I did spend abit of time on this over the weekend but it was mostly working on getting the vehicle to follow the track correctly. It still has some annoying bugs that will let the player clip through the fence or fall through the track. These things a bit tricky to fix - especially if you dont know EXACTLY whats causing it. Eitherway I am still working at it. FIXED

v0.26
- spent a good deal of time fixing wall bugs and falling through the track
- camera options are better now. And you can see further down the track
- 10 playable tracks with 3 difficulties modes (or something like that).

Download: test build v0.26.

Well beta testing and posting comments on your experience does help a bit! test build v0.26.

BlazeMasterBM · Mar 10, 2021

I played all 10 levels. Trust me when I say this is legitimately a really really really fun racing game. I'd download this if I saw it online!! Maybe have a way to change cars, and also possibly dial back the knockback from hitting a wall by JUST a little bit. Nothing major, but just suggestions. Also, are you planning to change the look of the game or are the aesthetics final?

newo · Mar 10, 2021

Ha, it has 3 difficulties so technically its 30 tracks!

Thanx, I try my best! Thanx for the suggestions, I will see what I can do.

This is the general look of the game. I was going for retro cyberpunk aesthetic. I wanted to keep it "clean" so that there would not be too many distractions while driving through the city. I might add a few more signs along or under the track but this is pretty much how it will look. Top priority is that it runs at 60 fps so I will only add stuff that wont affect the frame rate.

newo · Mar 11, 2021

Still working on the traffic. the other cars add a little bit of challenge since you dont have the entire road to yourself. Hopefully I can balance them so that they do not get too annoying.
