Here is a new game that is almost done I'm making called Lightspeed Racer! Today I'm going to add some boost-pads and other little things to enhance gameplay, but here are a few pics for you to enjoy! I wanted to make a 2d version of wipeout and F-Zero, as those are my favorite types of games, and I'm still choosy on whether I should have opponents or not, or even how to go about doing that. Most likely it will have local best times until I get openfeint or something. Here are some more pics...
just a thought, should i also try to add a sort of "dumb AI" that follows the trace, or rather have it just be the playe by himself trying to beat his best time?
Update! I tried, and for this version at least, I might not be able to have AI of any sort, but I will be able to save the best times soon. I also want to have a teleport thing you fly onto similar to v is for vortex, but to give you a better time in place of maybe a boost pad.
Later today, I can have a video of gameplay from my computer, but not from the ipod yet since I don't have a camera. I'm still tinkering with a local high score for each track, and essential UI stuff, but more later...
looks good! can you probably add a glowing effect like in pacman ce to the walls (means: if you get near to a wall, it will glow a bit in the colour of your racer, watch a trailer of pacman championship edition to better understand, what I mean.)
Update! I have successfully added damage into the mix, and pads that heal you. Not only can you now damage yourself, your performance and speed is also affected. More to come...
feel good, i got this running at a good fps on a 1st gen, so anything higher should be good. im gonna try to submit tomorrow.
I think I want to change the look of the tracks now. I like them less and less when I see them. Do these tracks look okay?
