      @@RealNoobmaster It's taken a lot of time and effort to make it, so I can't just give that up for free :) It's all made with Chaos though, just watch a lot of guides, read up on how physics work on real cars and transfer that to the code. It takes a lot of trial and error, and the setup I have would most likely not work with your car/game.

    • @akatsukilevi
      @akatsukilevi Рік тому +18

      @@Hazardous It is! The approach for physics based instead of the deterministic from Trackmania might push players into becoming better at driving instead of patterns which is the current Trackmania meta
      It isn't bad but quite optimizes away the fun, the physics-based preserves it because you never can 100% be sure about what the car will be doing, so you rely on your own skills which turns to be much more satisfying at the end

    First time I have found a vid from you. Huge respect, it looks super cool and with steam workshop support it can actually have a community. Which is missing from so many games today. The drifting looks surprisingly good, its super hard for games to make drifting looks smooth. As far as the drifting points, if you watch a formula drift event you will see there are boxes on the ground called zones and the more you stay in the zone the more points you get. You could also add the clipping points like you were talking about and it could be a pretty cool system

    I just played this game for the first time and there are 2 things I want to address.
    1. I want to be able to corner better at high speeds. This car goes really fast and I just want to go fast in the turns. I always needed to slow down a lot when making some turns. Slowing down a little makes sense, but not this much in an arcade racer.
    2. The pitch and yaw should also be bound to the arrow keys. I don't like using one finger (The little one) for both buttons.

  • @meinardas15

    This is such a great project, looks amazing and the passion is very nice to see :) For the engine sounds, there is a guy who made his own software that simulates an engine, which also outputs simulated sound based off of real physics. He is currently working with an electronic motorbike company to implement it into the bikes. I was thinking it may be possible to use that software with the help of the creator to maybe implement some really nice engine noise into your game. The only issue I see is that the software runs on many thousands of frames so I am not sure how you would implement it, but it is a cool idea. It would be so fun to see 2 great projects get put into 1. The youtube channel AngeTheGreat covers everything he has done with it and also has the software free to download somewhere in the description. Good luck for the future development of the game.

    Something that in my opinion would be pretty cool is a checkpoint like thing that changes the car you use to the drift car, so that you can try both cars even if you only play the time attack part, it also helps in adding variety to the gameplay and for those who will compete for the fastest times adds another layer of skill.
