So I've managed to get some work done on this, started creating a front end, this has led to having to make the editor a lot more friendly, so that's more work! Need to have loads/save tracks, export, import and all that stuff! Hopefully that shouldn't be too hard.

I've done a rough cut of a couple of tunes, all very 16 bit Amiga inspired era, I think that fits. Also I've done away with the sounds made with my mouth and synthesised all of those sounds too… I prefer it… We'll see… I appreciate this is moving away from the original premise but hey!

Finally got the track position indicator working well, I don't know why I struggled with this so much, but it's a good solid number now!

Still got plenty of bugs to iron out, still trying to tweak the ai, and still yet to get it to do stuff at the end of a race…

Hopefully I'll get some time and drop a video tonight showing the progress.

Getting there! Sorry for the slow progress

Hooray!!!

Just a minor bug fix but it's made me happy… The collision was a little “off” but fixed it! So it's all looking good there! Furthermore, I've made the menus slide in and out at the same speed no matter what the processor speed or frame rate you're pushing, which as minor as it is, feels nice!

Still not got round to making a video, I've been repairing my fence this weekend! Obviously!

I can't wait to get my hands on this engine!!! Do you think a release on itch would be possible?

Here's a quicky video…

So as previously mentioned, I've not had a whole lot of time do work on this, anyway, I've had a bit of a push, created a basic front end, race start, race end, end stats etc. Using the old v0.8 backdrop for now.

As previously mentioned, added some rough cut 16 bit inspired music, new synthesised engine, skidding and beeps.

I've had to tidy up the editor a little to make it more friendly, still need to work on load / save / export / import etc for that, it exists in the back end, just need to expose that to the front.

Additionally there's no track or car selection yet. That needs to come, and the settings and difficulty don't do anything yet.

All that aside… Pretty close.

Can I draw some Fan art for the game?
