Regarding chat system


Good news? It works, and I spent a lot of time making sure of it

Bad news? Well, there's foreshadowing in the image. It is SLOW, so slow to the point of being almost unusable. Based on my observations, turbo mode makes the API blocks somehow faster, but when I tried to recreate it with enabling some "Run without screen refresh" or swapping out some blocks I could never recreate the speed it runs at in turbo mode.

I've currently decided that worrying about the speed of sending messages and stuff isn't worth it, So I'll either:

  • Stop improving on the chat system and release it as it is

  • Add a few extra features such as message viewing

I've also encountered some motivational issues, this includes school and ideas for other games and stalling on features that in the end don't really matter (this damn chat feature). I don't feel like giving up yet though and I sure as hell want a finished product

Also the chat feature will probably be the last update I release for the demo, after that I'll be working to turn the demo into a private Alpha

Thanks for reading

A slight change in lighting calculation allows it to be more realistic and allows for visuals such as this

Old side project inspired by I Wanna Kill The Kamilia and Jump Knight, should be multiplayer as well

left/right arrows - move

spacebar - charge jump

This dude is very underrated, 2 digit views but insane sound design and use of the scratch audio system

Great attention to detail too, on the second car the drivetrain makes a high sound based on the speed not rpm

My projects Crate Engine and Marble Mania have been dropped so as a result I'm making them open source

The engine is way more bare and approachable while the unfinished game has more editor features

Have fun!

1st project: racing project main/physics

2nd project: racing project map systems and that

Quiet video

My demo is finally complete! Sure some parts don't look as professional, but then again it's a demo

Play it here! https://gamejolt.com/games/ddemo/646571

I also said I'll add online aspects, but censorship is hard to add, I'll add chats and stuff in an update

Audiostream doesn't work when packaged and turboloader has become mostly obsolete due to new turbowarp extensions

I'll have to move contents of this project to another one and replace turboloader blocks with official extension ones

Cont.

Publicly releasing the car sound design project, you can customize pretty much everything

Enjoy
