It has been a few days since I’ve last updated anyone on my project, and sadly to say not much has progressed.  As of yesterday I still did not have a car moving, or any gameplay.  I’ve been tied up with non-gamedev related work and tasks.  However there have been acouple of waster opportunities, placing me farther and farther behind schedule.  I can’t see it possible to have my project at Alpha complete by October 31st, however I will give it my best efforts to get it as close to that state as possible.

In other news, I have updated my splash screen, although I will need to update it once again for the final release as my logo will be changing again.  I received my wacom tablet last weekend, and it distracted me for several hours.  I am not an artist, but that certainly helps with my ability to get something concept wise.  Speaking of which, I started working on some concept screens.  This is the Race Setup Screen, although more information may be required later.

Beyond fiddling with many parts besides gameplay, I have finally, just tonight, got the car moving!  The physics are by no means near complete, but a moving car is a huge step here.  Many pieces were required to get this far, and many more pieces are still required before I can actually say I have gameplay.  Unfortunately I work on non gamedev related things again this weekend, but I hope some miracles allow me to get laptime calculations and the ability to create replays.

As soon as I have a somewhat ready user-interface, and the gameplay near complete I will try creating some videos with gameplay footage that will likely blow your minds!  But until then, you will just have to wait.
