Velocity Overdrive is my first large scale project and I am happy with its progress so far. It's a driving/exploration game.

I have made a demo of the game, it is simply the first mission in the game... the controls as well as more detailed instructions for the game are in a .txt file with the download.

If you want to try the demo the download is attached with this post, it would be good to hear some comments on the game so far so I can improve it.

Let the games begin.

That's cool. It seems like a solid game, and i like the level. The intro and menu were pretty slick too, although you might to hide the mouse in the former. What i would work on is firstly the control of the ship. For a hovercraft it seemed very jerky. I think a bit more momentum ,so that it takes longer to get up to top speed, and you need more skill to drift around corners would improve it immensely.

Also, i think a mode where you have to race to collect the gems around a linear route would be more enjoyable- at the moment you have to "scope out" the whole level first to find what route to take. For me this seems a bit daunting- i would prefer the way to take to be obvious, and the game and the fun be derived from skillfully navigating the course- ie your driving.

BTW, how did you make the levels?

Another thing is that on my comp the program after being clicked (from windows) appeared to do nothing for of order 10 seconds. Maybe you should get it to flash up a "loading" screen in the meantime.


You'll be able to click on this someday.

Thanks for the comments Mr Tank

I made the levels using Cartography Shop.

Let the games begin.
