Remember that little "example" racegame that I was making, well, here it is.

The street is in-game so you can see how detailed everything is (street lights, trash cans, vents, manholes , signs).

You can upgrade your car (like in need for speed underground) and accept challenges against the AI.

I'll post some ingame screenies after I fixed the blend-texture option in my matrix editor and the rotation problem in Velocity X-Treme

Currently, there's only one car, but I will put more cars in the options. They will be different (one will be better to handle, but isnt fast, etc)

Btw, I haven't forgot the slow computers, there is an option to use lower poly objects (square trashcans, lights and plains instead of cilinders and cubes for buildings) and an option to disable all those "extras" too. Different display modes (640x480x16 to 1280x1024x32)

Im looking for music, but I cant find royalty-free ones. I know I can contact artists like rob zombie, but that would cost $$$

*cough* NFSU *cough*

looks cool
however im not sure about the texture/uv mapping on the car, the fire pattern is going on a waay bit too much, the model is nice and looks like a hotrod rather than a street racer, but with more cars there will be variation, i hope to see this game succeed and because a nice game

-No vinyls
-No same menu
-Logo not on the same

And like I said, the menu graphics are completely the same as the old dinkc version (2d 256 colors topdown), maybe they stole it from me

fine forget what i said, but you need to change that skin on the car, it looks too unrealistic, as the wheel arches and the wingmirrors the uv maps are messed up a bit, hope to see the racing part of it

well you cant just say the racing part is good, lol, us people here dont like bing kept on the edge of our seats,

the wheels look like textured plains, as for the uv mapping, i belive you just applyed a texture to the car and didnt use any uv mapping software?, but it would look a billion times better when propperly unwrapped, and your images arent working atm.

yea looks good, the car does look a lil weired, but the level looks cool,is this going to be straight line racing or street racing?, im not sure what the wood thing is on the left but it would look beter without it, and more streetlamps wouldent go amiss

The wooden thingy is a fence, but you cant see that because I still need to resize the car (lazy lazy lazy ), this is street racing not straight line

I get 60FPS in that 507kb map Streetlamps are coming. All I have to do know, is to move my ass (Oh the laziness, my legs hurt ) and grab photostudio to make some better textures

507kb map meaning? a uncompressed .x file? well with uv maps the filesize would be big, we need polycounts, and you should be able to see the whole car not just the window and roof, and with a coll speedometer it would be kickass

lookin' good. take your time with this, no reason to rush!

I noticed your using Anim8or for the modelling? pretty nice program. what are you using for texturing/unwrapping?

good luck with the development of your game!

Cool! Would've been cooler if that car was an evo8 or r34 though...but not really a problem coz it's still alpha.

What you using for collision?

Built-in DBC collision, but its as slow as *peep*. Im thinking of a invisible plain above the road, and the car should stay inside of it.

PLEEEAAASSSEEE don't make your game on of those racing games where you are stuck to the road... that's always a letdown! use the nuclearglory DLL or something, and make your game have cool collision, it will make a big difference!!!!!!

otherwise very psyched to see your results!

Im not going to buy a DLL I will use the build-in collision, but if you touch the walls you wont stop, but slide instead (I know a few tricks with math )

well, the roads are 90% straight in the game, so I just make fences, I place those fences near the road as objects (they are just cubes, stretched in anim8or) so I just do a position check

For the curved parts I just us this:
| _ = fence
X = road
G = ground

__________
|GGGGGGGGG
|GGGGXXXXX
|GGGXGGGGG
|GGXGGGGGG
|GXGGGGGGG

you mean array collision?, well to be honest thats pretty poor collision, if you used sonics one you can have curved ramps and such, which would make for better gameplay,

Not array collision , math collision

ex:


Im pretty good with SIN,COS and TAN, so it detects collision with rotated fences aswell

i still think sonics collision is better :-P, the tree in the other pic looks like that protective tubing they put around small trees but green, you could make a tree in tree majic and use it ingame, ir render the tree so it becomes a plain, then rotate it to face the camera,

the game has good potential, keep up the good work

try and ghost the plain or use a transparent .png for the texture, you should still be able to see the ground a little even when its in shadow.
