Prototype is taking shape. Does this look like something you'd play ? Love to hear your thoughts and feedback #GodotEngine #indiedev

Looks great! Just be careful not to make the visuals too busy when you start working on the art style. This is one of those rare cases where adding more detail might actually make things worse.

Good call. I'll most likely be going with a PSX aesthetic so hopefully won't be too much of a problem.

Prototype with a lot of juice overthere ahah I love it.

Aha thanks ! Wait until you discover @ItsPolyCube 😉

@ItsPolyCube I'm already a big fan of his work ahah But you're in the same level on another style.

reminded me dragon booster

I always love finding things I've never heard of with similarities to what I'm working on 🔥

Does this look like something I'd play...? I'm going to be very blunt here, I don't just want to play this. I want to have sex with this video game

Definitely. The sense of speed is already there. I’d just give the environment a few stronger landmarks — something memorable to race toward, not just through.

That's something we'll be working towards, imo also the hardest thing to get right aha. Got some cool ideas in mind already. The track in the video was mainly get the controls and feeling in place.

Yooo SRL with guns! reminds me of this last mission in Renegades, definitely something I will play!

Those banked turns caught my eye. Is there a playable build yet? I'd like to try the movement.

Probably a long way off a public build for the time being. I'll start play testing with a very small group to start to see how it resonates with people and go from there. Can't wait to get it into more hands though

Got it, thanks for replying :) Hope the first tests go well!

Just make sure the game loop is solid. Looks fun though! Keep pushing!

Things are cooking behind the scenes 😉

Not necessarily my type of game. Looks smooth, but I would definitely work on visual clarity since i barely recognize what I'm looking at in this gameplay video :D

This will definitely be one of the biggest challenges. Keeping the sense of speed while also keeping things readable

Yes, the balance of it is precisely what's needed here. But atleast the sense of speed is already there so that's an achievement of its own I would say :p

I would buy this outside of a steam sale like holy shit Also call me crazy but I really love the untextured/placeholder looks that the prototype has

I'm hoping it'll look better with actual textures aha

Wow looks pretty fast paced

Now this looks fun, keep it up!

This looks like Galactic Racer and SSX 3 had a baby - It's something I would play A LOT!

yes!!

Yes this looks fun!

In kirby air riders there's a blur effect mostly concentrated on the bottom of the screen used to convey speed most of the time, with larger effects taking over to briefly highlight specific actions (like going over a boost) i wonder if that could work here

Just looked at some videos. It kinda looks like an exaggerated motion blur but can't tell for sure, might be some shader trickery also. The fact that the camera's angle is fixed helps keep the effect localized to the bottom of the screen. Not sure how I could pull it of here.

That looks dope, the reticle appearing on an enemy made me think you were going to be able to use a grappling hook on terrain to rip super tight corners at high speeds. That'd be sick.

Ahaha it was initially in the todo list. Not convinced if the idea is gonna stick though, I can see it causing a lot of problems.

Whatever you end up with I'd love to see more. Finding unique ways to traverse strange geometry in a racing game is an unexplored field in a lot of games 🧐

looks awesome

Как постоянную игру нет, ощущение что быстро устаёшь. Я больше вижу это как отдельную миссию в какой-то большой игре.

Yeah, this is ridiculous. Make a VR mode if you DARE. 😆

Oh I'd be puking every 5 minutes trying to develop this in VR aha

Looks like a ton of fun! Can't wait to see where you take this!

oh yes

Yes yes yes drive and shoot ! Would buy so hard, only the game UI need to be super clear and impecable in feel also

looks great, gameplay reminds me of star wars pod racer

The prototype looks promising! Can't wait to see how it plays out. 🎮👍

It definitely looks interesting. It sorta gives me vibes of Wipeout and Panzer Dragoon.

Yes it does. Keep it up.

Wow, what a special route.

looks fun as hell, love the sense of speed

Looks sick

This would've been the dopest thing I ever played on the PS1 and that's not an insult because the Playstation had AMAZING games!

Wow the shaders really take it up a notch

Looks cool, is it gonna focus a lot on movement freedom doing tricks etc, what would the end game look like, is it gonna be corridor style levels like this or will there be open plains?

No tricks in the plans yet, don't want to dilute the gameplay too much and get caught up on scope creep. We're hoping to have a mix of both corridor and more open spaces.

yes but I'm going to spend the whole time trying to launch myself out of the track

Maybe that's what we want you to do 😉

wow
