More work on biomes and environment! Now you can drive through lush meadows, tropical beaches, icy tundras, scorching deserts, and into a volcano!! 🌋

Still working through major improvements to the biomes and environment but was able to add this nice bushy patch of grass to drive through 🌾😁

Been working a lot on behind the scenes stuff but here is some front of scene stuff 😎 most collectables now have some sort of effect!

What would you like to wear on your car??

Spent some time this week refocusing my game around driving, collecting, and exploring. Ended up ripping out a lot of unnecessary bloat! And now trees go bonk! 🌲💥 sound on 🔊

thanks for the kind words! I think that moment was when i first connected the map generation and the driving - felt pretty magical!

Decided to rework the entire car physics...while learning car physics...and blender 🤯 pretty happy with the result though!

We've got biomes! Still some fine-tuning needed but the system is in place. Traverse open fields, wooded forests, snow-capped peaks, expansive deserts, tropical beaches and more!

Actual screenshots for #screenshotsaturday this time! 📸

Work in progress on adding biomes to add interesting sights to drive through! Also added this fade when objects obstruct the camera, was easier than I thought!

would it feel juicier if the jump cancel included a backflip before the headshot? idk why but i was expecting the jump to lead into some sort of acrobatic before the execute

Life's been busy but I'm back! Initially, the car could drive underwater as the water mesh had no collider. So I added an invisible wall! Tada! No more underwater driving...but what if you could...? 🤔

Another productive week getting ready for my first playtest! Managed to add a main menu, sound fx and music, update the player UI, MORE assets, and a skybox!

Been a busy week! Adding assets, learning blender (it's hard), and generally adding content...like this plane for end game zoomies 😁

it’s all procedural! so different world seeds will give you a different map. thanks!!

Looked at the clouds today and thought to myself "Man that's a really cool shader" 🤦‍♂️

Anyhow, I've implemented the tile spawning animation! All I had to do was break the entire map and re-write it from the ground up 😁

This week I challenged myself to create a quick and dirty inventory and upgrade system that works. Mission accomplished!

Lots of polish still to come but you can now collect parts and craft upgrades!

Seeds are fun! Added seeding for the random map generation and the foundations for the collectable system! Now to just add allllll the collectables.

What kind of things would you like to collect?

This is the intended camera view! Although not the final spawning animation, I also plan to make the grid spawning a bit smoother. The grid is actually small enough where I'm not running into any rendering issues but scaling it up 10x definitely causes problems 😅
