OpenRoad - Arcade racing

(1/1)

EgonOlsen:
Long time no new project here...so I thought that I might as well contribute something.

It's not really a "project", but something that I'm working on from time to time. It started out as an experiment to see, how feasible it is to generate a road based on the random number generator alone. Over the months, it turned into something that you can actually "play" albeit it's far from being a game of some sort.

The road and the AI vehicles are all generated, nothing has been placed by hand. It has basic sounds, arcade like vehicle controls, traffic and a very crude collision "model".

Here's a video: https://youtu.be/o3MthgPRDsE?si=GEl1AJA2DRFxJCaJ

And this is how it looks:

MichaelJPCT:
Great!
i also wished for a game that has auto-generated roads, preferably a rally game, so i would have unlimited stages to drive on. but that project would be too difficult for me.

EgonOlsen:
My approach is highly simplified as well. It only has to work for this kind of retro-styled arcade racer. Generating an actual landscape with free roaming would have been a completely different and much more complex story.
