3D Car Physics: Turbo Unleashed - Preview #1

It's been a while, so I thought I'd give another update, with a video coming soon.

Currently, I have implemented:
- Circuit race track
- AI driver (he could use some fine-tuning though)
- 3D car engine sounds (old fmod library)
- Tachometer (no gears/transmission yet)

Really close:
- I am so close to having the game know your race position (1st or 2nd)
- Smarter AI

Going towards:
- Full transmission with varying torque sent to the tires
- Split time leaderboard functionality
- Full controller support
- More cars
- More car sounds (crashing, scraping, tire squeals, etc.)
- Local/online multiplayer (should be a doozy!) or even split-screen multiplayer racing
- Menus and selection screens

Ultimately, I really want this to be a full-fledged racing game.
Cool stuff and whatever

And of course if I ever want to make this game commercial, I'd have to switch from fmod (you're not even allowed to use fmod v.3.75 for commercial at all) to something like OpenAL, and find some free or cheap royalty-free car models, or *gasp* make them myself...
Switching from fmod to OpenAL would bring other benefits, like more platform support as well...
Cool stuff and whatever

I thought about doing a 2d top down racer in the past.
This one point you stated was really hard to figure out (and I didn´t, I just had some ideas to try).
Specially cause it was supposed to have a track editor.

Keep it up!

im gave up the retro stunt racer game in comply years ago. Its could been cool to see a 3d flat vector car game in the spirits of the old game (Stunts for DOS). Soon its came to car thing, im gave up, which seen im implented them in a wrong order.

Your game seen to do very good, keep working  :good:
