Pulp race progress #8 : Release, update and stabilisation + Mention of play jam 8 and participation in Ware-wolf Campfire Stories with sound and music of one of the game.
Today is the release of Pulp Race: Daft Enigma Fighter.
I’m super happy to release that almost one year game development.It was quite challenging, and a lot of pulp script.Firstly I updated graphics by adding water, flower and tree and the tracks :
I had a new system that make you boosting , and recharge the boost by cranking on a dedicated area
There is also a race mode where your boost is always available, but you’ll need to buy infinite booster
on the after race area to participate.
You can name yourself on a room by racing on it :
There is a new wave mode for fighting surviving and a lot of buyable also.The CPU is able to do all type of race, can be configurable in initiate on race on the code, no blocking on some dead end anymore…I release a trailer few day ago to :
Trailer Pulp Race: Daft Enigma FIghter
Also had a system of fan base on your position per tracks within a top board:
This topboard was challenging to create and implement :
I needed to do race chrono my own with criteria of how I drive, how my car was efficient etc
Per tracks with infinity mood (5 level) and normal mood (12 racer with car more or less efficient) with around 30 tracks around 1m to 2m , take around a month to play it with the playdate device.
I had to save all time, per chrono, do an algorithm to decay the top when you get in, count fan you get per tracks and mod… and obviously how to show it with a string that show well.
a lot of line in pulp for that
By eating on the bar you car could be more efficient car on criteria.
I try my best to get a game challenging and with replay value.
Some music theme was fun to create with the idea of futuristic goofy 8bit and speed in mind.
Come check on this first Pulp racing game !
In September I did the play jam 8 : Climb Ascender (playjam 8) by Samplay
During October I participate to another project, I did the music and sfx of one of the one of sub-game of Ware-wolf Campfire Stories : a collaborative Pulp Halloween project run by ledbetter (the Orkn one) :
I love the aesthetics and the idea, so I made a little song on pulp script and send to him and we decide I could made some sound and song within this sub-game in the game
Was enjoyable to just be on the music and sound of a project with theme of halloween, needed to be spooky but enjoyable as it a shoot em up, I had also in mind of the witch twin theme of Zelda OOT also for the principal theme.
