The Most In-Depth GM Racing Game! *1 new pic*

Posted by Misconstruct on May 18, 2008, 8:23 a.m.

So, I'm working on a small little project currently going by the moniker, "GT2D", is going to be one of the most in-depth racing games ever made using GM.

I'm aiming for 15+ tracks and ~100 vehicles in the final version.

Anyway, I don't have a whole lot of info ready for giving at the moment. I've been thinking about making this game for quite a while, but only now (today, in fact) have I started work on it. I've got the rudimentary physics down, and currently I'm just wiring up all the pieces of the game together as well as adding new cars and making new tracks.

(Alcohol apparently does wonders for motivation.)

Here's some screens of what I have so far:

Stay tuned for more details. I've put a lot of thought about the layout of the game and how it progresses. I've taken heavy cues from the amazing Gran Turismo series, as well as a few original but lesser known racing titles, such as Sega GT 2002. In fact, the layout of the game is a hybrid of Sega GT's super-straightforward layout and GT's somewhat scattered layout.

Great idea, we really need more racing games with this realism added.

Tiles have too much fine detail. Disturbs the eyes.

Too zoomed it. You should be using tiles anyway. Textured paths would look better. There's also ugly green aliasing taht needs removing from the car select buttons.

@ Mat

I know. Exactly why I'm making it.

@ F1ak3r

For a while, I lost interest in GM. Then I switched to Ubuntu. Just a couple days ago, I switched back to Windows and I'm back to using GM as well.

@ biggoron

I didn't spend a whole lot of time on graphics. Later, I'll spend some time updating the visuals.

@ Grand-High Gamer

Yeah, I know. I'm only using tiles for the moment because it's easy to quickly lay down a track. Over the next couple days, I'll be changing around the graphics a bit. So the final version will look better. And I'm aware of the green aliasing on the buttons. I'll fix that too.

OMFG I LOVE RACING GAMES! This one looks pretty good. I approve ^_^ (Do you have more car selections ?)

@ xRonnicax

I will be adding quite a few more cars, yes. And I love racing games too. :)

Well I do hope it turns out the way you want it to.

? no, I'm not trying to be mean I'm just saying I'm making one to, please don't take that the wrong way…

Oh, alrighty then. That's good to hear, actually. Wanna make it a competition? :)
