Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again by Idkfawin32

[raw]
made by Idkfawin32 for LD35 (COMPO)
It's an unfinished game. All you can do is drive around the track and that's it. I'm sorry folks.

I guess my biggest flaw here is I wrote a software renderer. So the scenery and the sprites are all rendered by the java code.

My original idea was to call it "Shape Shift Racing" and have it so you would need to change your cars shape to fit through holes in walls.

Making the simple driving and rendering took way longer than I expected.

I'm merely posting this to get feedback and to give out the source so people can expand on it and learn from the raycaster.

While the driving and rendering may have taken longer than expected, I'd say it was worth it! The game looks and feels really cute.

Pretty impressive! I've never written a software renderer but I can imagine you need some experience for that. The racer feels pretty fluid, and the rendering is also pretty good, except for some jagged lines when turning the car. If I were you I would keep this code around, maybe improve it a bit, and use it next LD for your next game!

So here's the thing.
A. The visuals are really appealing and I think succeed as your intended tech demo of sorts.
B. You called your game Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again. I laughed out loud when I read it.
I mean that's worth something, to me, at least.I shouldn't have found that as unexpectedly funny as I did, but here we are.

Not a game, but the visuals are very good. And knowing that you wrote the renderer from scratch makes it more impressive. Good work mate!

This is amazing from a technical standpoint. It seems crazy to pull such a thing off in the given time. It's a shame you didn't have enough time to put more content into it.

It really does look great. It feels nostalgic, somehow.

Nice raycasting! I like the interesting effect if the camera passes through a hill.

I love the aesthetic of the rendering. Takes me back to the original need for speed. The first driving game I fell in love with.

Sure, it's not finished, but spending this much effort to rendering is remarkable. Kudos!

Looks like a voxel-renderer, nicely made. Next time reuse this renderer and make a full game! I dig the old-school look.

Well, the render engine look pretty nice !
Now you done the longest you are ready for the next LD and you will make us something awesome ! ;)

The graphics are cool. You should write a blog post on how they work, if you haven't already.

I remember as those grafiks style, was the state of the art! Not bad, implementing all that stuff in java!

Cool how you made this renderer in 48 hours :)
I guess there's not much "game" to rate/comment on, but I did like what I saw and think it would be cool to see something more made out of it.
