I’ve decided its time for my second project to begin. Bubble Burst was a great first project. I have become very familiar with the language in a short time, but now I’m ready to move on to something more challenging. Some of the criteria I want to have in my next game are:
action packed, preferably violent.
supports multiplayer locally, and over the internet
After some thought I decided I wanted to make a racing game. With a top down view similar to “super off road”. To the people who were in the arcades in the 90’s, you know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately “super off road” wasn’t very violent, so well have to give the trucks missiles and bombs. This naturally satisfies the local multiplayer aspect, multiple controllers could easily support multiple vehicles. The only tricky thing left is setting it up to allow internet match-ups.
The tracks will have obstacles like crates and barrels at certain places along the edges of the track. Players will be able to smash each other into them.
I also plan to have weapon pickups that appear randomly. Things like missiles, bombs and mines.
There have been a lot of improvements recently. I'm satisfied with the overall handling of the truck and the obstacles.
At this point I am releasing a demo to allow for play-testing
The demo can be downloaded from my site
