What do you think?

Very cool game you have there! Too bad OBS and Bandicam didn't want to cooperate with me. When I'm not recording it, the game runs fairly well, if you can believe it.

Now that I have much better hardware to play this game with, I can conclusively state that it's just not very well optimized. Could really do with some draw distance, possibly LOD's and culling.

I had NO IDEA what I was getting into in this game! I played it in a compilation video though, and had A BLAST! Great job with this one!

The story isn't the biggest problem. The camera, especially in machine gun mode has issues. None the less we got some decent air, and found a bit of a funny bug with the jeep on the fence. However my depressed friend could not make it through the demo without giving up.

It would be really helpful if you guys leave a comment on how the game/storyline can be improved, the direction it can go, would really help shape the game.

This is a work in progress:

I am a lone wolf developer. Game Development is a passion of mine and thats why I am doing this, hopefully it will provide a good portfolio and help me get something to steam. My 11 year old nephew gives me good game dev advice in exchange for chocolate. This is my first game. Its really hard at times when I really don't know if the stuff I make is actually worth anybody's time (feeling a bid blind). Therefore your feedback is highly appreciated. It will help me make the game better. Games may look a bit 90s themed, cause I am one.
(And remember nfs2se, screamer4x4, 4x4 evo, midtown madness, what crazy days those were, hope to make remake of it all).

Screenshot Location :

Screenshots taken in the pause menu are saved inside "Offroad Scientist_Demo_Data" folder as PNG.

Vehicle Upgrades.
Multiplayer option.
A king of the hill competition, where you can steal the other player's collected data.
