This blog had a different title...

it was 'Names..Names..Names…" and I wonder why…

Okay sorry to bother you again, but I now need names,

I am creating a racing game and I can't think of any names…

What can I call my game, I don't know..

I'm fresh out..

I'm getting closer to a demo, I've just created my first track called 'Office' and I think I've recreated an office fairly well…

although its slightly surreal… (no people, moving rotating office chairs, and elevators)

I've got three cars, missiles, and oil (slows you down..)

(okay the powerups are cliche, but at least I know they work and appeal to most gamers (anyway, who can't say no to letting of a missile into a opponent as he's about to finish first…)

Talking about opponents, I need to make some a.i., well unless for some random reason you wantto play time trial by itself…

I mean its playable at this level, but I haven't made a title screen, mode select sreen, track select screen, highscores, and a.i to race so I think you'd just play it once then quit…

Here's a few screenies to wet your appetite:

(almost complete version of the car menu)

(Moving office chairs(strangley at the same angle(I will fix this)

(I use real wood texture because I can't sprite wood…)

So ya theres been alot of progress, and from what I see, the competition is good as well, rail racer 4 has potential, and if I find any more decent racing projects, I'll let you know…

Well.. A demo shall come when its ready…

and believe me its about 60% ready… (need basic race mode,partially complete menu, won't bother about a title screen (as game doesn't have name/logo yet…), oh and the every so important a.i..)

first make it ready (or a beta) before you start thinking about a real name…

btw how should we think of a name from 3 screenies?

I don't know… or expect you to…

But the game is going to have very different themed levels, i.e beach, medievil ect…

That car is tiny.

Its supposed to be. The game is like micro-machines in gameplay and stlye, but hopefully I won't make a complete rip of it.

Also another idea:

- Themed powerups :each level has 3 different powerups to collect..
