The Art of Driving

Overview

The Art of Driving is an Arcade style race game which is about reaching the goal without crashing and breaking the highscore with a new record time. Inspired by several arcade classics the game features a unique low poly art style.

Motivation

I am a conviced arcade fan, i like the kind of game where you can directly jump into and addictively play them again and again trying to crush the leaders highscore. I also really like the simpe low poly art style which perfectly matches for arcade games. Unfortunately these kind of games are not very widely published these days. I am working on an arcade style physics engine for several years now in my spare time and feeling ready to use it in an arcade game.

Features

• Custom physics engine designed for simple controlling scheme (no drift buttons) but still challenging gameplay.
• Low Poly Arcade Style

MODS (Upcoming)

I am currently working on a way to enable Mods. My goal is to build a community-space  with an endless growing number of levels.  This means that players will be able to build custom levels within the Unity-Editor - with all the freedom that comes with it (due the construct of exportable Asset Bundles - which may be loaded at runtime from the game). 

I am also working on a mod starter set to ease the level building. In short word this is the way i built the first level:

- Building the road by modelling a spline

- Procedural terrain forming along road (flattening the road)

- Procedural terrain painting on road area

- Procedural aligning of obstacle objects along the road

- Procedural generation of trees and grass on non-road terrain locations
