Hi Francis, this is a really good post and it is clear to see you have done your research for your game. I really like the retro vibe you are going for and I also think the whole game idea is really good, I would be really interested to see how it turns out. Good luck with creating this game. -Nathan
ReplyDeleteHi Francis,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of making a retro game. The world is pretty much dominated by realistic simulated games at the moment so it’s nice to see you “traveling back in time”. One of my game ideas was also a racing game since I love playing Mario Kart.
Was there anything particular that inspired you to make a retro game? Did/ Do play a lot of retro games?
Its hard for me to give you any suggestions cause I think your idea is perfect, but maybe add some car sound effects such as ignition and acceleration sound effects (if you weren’t thinking about implementing them already). Anyway, hope your game turns out great, good luck with it!
Khang.
Hi Francis!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and I really like your game idea about making a retro racing game this honestly brings so much memories to me it reminds me of my childhood when I was playing this type of games.I also like the way you have everything broken into the paragraphs which makes it very clear and understandable of what you will be using and how your game is going to look like when its finished.
I don't think I can add anything to your game in my opinion it looks amazing .I am looking forward to see your game in action and best of luck with the creation of this game and the module!!!
