Spent the last two days testing a more dynamic camera logic. Getting the camera feel just right is a tricky task 😃 I'm aiming for it to feel like watching real miniature cars but still be very predictable #gaming #gamedev #ios

Just commending your great driving skills

I hope that the car physics I'm developing makes driving and drifting easy for everyone!

Well it looks amazing so far, whatever you end up with will be great! ❤️

@GameReviewsDQ Very motivating, doing my best 👍

is a tiny cousin of gta 1 and Driver: You Are The Wheelman the map is one of Driver and the camera is form gta ps 1 xd

The map is pretty original and I really hope people will enjoy it. Will there be more maps? Race tracks? Will players be able to drift on Mars? Maybe 😂

then surprise me, there more maps of 2D or create an micro DLC feat driver 2 or driver 1 (cus that level demonstration was in driver 2 when you evacuate to Cuba while chasing the train)

Cool! I felt like the camera angle made it seem like a news helicopter was watching the car! What if the camera changed when entering a tunnel, switching to the view of the police car's cam?

Asked the Pico City Police Dept. for a statement and got a direct response: At the moment, the department can't afford an air unit. We're still relying on an endless supply of police cruisers, which are easier to park in front of the donut shop anyway.

Seems to work very well already 👌

This looks great

Add option for 3rd person camera if you can 🫶

ATM only top-down is planned, but for testing, I sometimes use a 3rd person camera (that's top secret shhhh) Maybe it will make it into the game in later updates or even other games modes. Can't promise it!!

Do it pls , because i think there's a lot of driver and GTA fans like me. gonna sell the game for us more 🌚👍 And tbh you have good physics 👏 , a 3rd person camera will gonna make the handing shine even more 🔥

I appreciate your feedback 🫡 a 3rd person cam would reveal more details closer to the ground and there is even more to consider As a solo dev,I'm focusing on the top-down cam first,while keeping the option for additional modes open I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep

No worries, im gonna buy it with or without it Thank you for doing a car chase game 🙏 It's rare these days ❤️‍🩹

I think you've nailed it - very smooth and it keeps up with the action!

🙌

You were a big GTA2 enjoyer weren't you?

Oh yes! I especially liked the part where you had to outrun the police 😄

Feels awesome already !

@OysterUranus Thanks 😎

Looks super fun 👍👍 the drifting looks great!

@PlayerGrnthinks Thanks mate! I hope soon everyone will have just as much fun hooning around as I do 😏

this is GTA I with good graphics 😂

That was such a fun game! I wonder if it would have reached more players if it had a sequel with 3D visuals ☺️

🧐 i guess we’ll never know 😔

so good. love how it zooms out with vel and looks ahead based on your facing dir so you can see what's coming up. very nice.

Original GTA vibes.

So cinematic, indeed! :D

So nice! mate 🤗

make it LAN multiplayer and I'll buy it for all 15 friends and family members who so badly want a GTA2 remake. PLEASE!!!!

Currently working on the base game (SP action) but exploring options for more game modes new maps and possibly local/online MP in the future. Basically anything that will be fun is possible

Is your camera looking at a point in front of the cars movement direction based on speed, with the length of that vector used to zoom, with smoothing e.g. lerp.

Yup reading motion dir, velocity magnitude and a lot of smoothing going on here. Trying to simulate a fairly natural camera or head motion

I just want to play this!

Will this game be playable as a top-down? Also, will we be able to zoom in a bit? The video of this post looks a bit too high, but I do like how it looks in the Pico Drift header image! P.S. Sorry about all of these questions in old posts!

No worries I‘ll reply when I can The top-down cam is still in the game, but chase cam works better for high speeds! Top-down is more for tactical play ;) Not sure yet how it will work in tunnels… we will see 👀

Great to hear top-down is still in the game! IIRC, when I first came across this game, I believe I watched a top-down video and that's what intrigued me. And I believe it was a police chase too. I am very much looking forward to the police chases!!!!!

I am currently watching all of your police chase videos that were posted in early 2024. I love what I'm seeing in them!!!

I will bring back (or fix..) the police soon, there were so many other things to do lately. Thanks for your feedback and support man!

Just like watching on of those live footage of car chasing. Might be awesome if we have some reporters commenting on the scene

Looks and feels good to watch. gta had camera too low in all games, had to mouse turn the camera higher to see the road.

You should add a spot light targeting around the main car with some noise randomization to make it look like a police helicopter is following the car and you have their POV.

GTA 2 duplicate?

No 🤔
