THE RACING DEAD

The Racing Dead is a top-down, arcade-style, and physics-driven racing game for PC. An independent project in the early prototype stage and was developed for the B&W Game Jam hosted by Lone Rabbit.

The version you can download has only one level. In reality, only one graveyard, and you can play in single-player mode against Bots or Local Multiplayer mode against 3 players.

The project is in its initial phase, and adjustments will certainly be needed, so if you find something like a bug that needs to be resolved, contact me through the channels below.

When I decided what my game proposal was, based on the theme and the rule of using only black and white, there were only four days to deliver.

I already had an old idea of making a game without colors, and when Lone Rabbit proposed the optional theme, the idea of the race for the living dead seemed fantastic.

With the idea in mind and some drafts of tracks, I needed to plan the production thinking on a one-person project.

I have planned two groups of assets: the group of ready-made assets and the assets that I will produce:

Ready Assets:

• 3D Models
• Soundtrack
• Sound effects

Assets to be produced:

• Level Design
• AI
• Checkpoints and Laps
• Car Controller
• Camera animation
• New shader for ready assets and thus meet the black-and-white
• Visual Effects
• UI
• Project page
• Videos, images, and gifs for social media

I don't believe it, but I finished this first version before delivering it to B&W Jam. 

Then, I put together a roadmap of the next steps. That's right. I liked the result and the theme that will take the game to a higher level.

Below is the roadmap that will follow to bring the game to Steam.

• Fix some bugs
• Cutscene to introduce the story and explain why the living dead
• 6 New cars designed and customized
• Ten new cemeteries with their tracks
• Improve the player controller
• Improve the inputs
• Addition of new input devices, gamepads, and controls
• Settings panel allowing to control of audio, video, and others
• Implement an AI mode with Easy, Medium, and Hard options
• Shader improvement
• Visual effects improvement
• More soundtracks
• Creation of a specific game page with its domain
• Creating a server on Discord
• Created from the page on Steam with the release date.

I have a lot of work to do.
