This is the game that i have been working in the few free moments that i have been able to steal from the pos-graduation during the last year and now that i have finished that sh...
i should get more time for this project.
But also: ohhhh! Truth be told I prefer overhead views, but if it's like those NeoGeo sideways racers, like Neo Drift Out, I'm sold!!
Yes, our goal is making a funny and very playable arcade game. And of course, Neo Drift Out and other 2d racing arcades were used as inspiration.
And as
@Dubliner says only the loading screen is in full overscan. In this moment (and everything can change
) during the game the screen is only 160x240 pixels, that it's a little extra height than usual, but not a full overscan. I have added a photo from the other day tests in the real machine, sorry by the low quality, because it is captured from a cell phone video, but maybe gives a better impression of how the game look in a real monitor.
The game requirements are 128 KBs of RAM and a floppy drive. And even if there is the usual abuse of the hardware, the game should work in every CRTC configuration.
The premise of the game is racing around the world in the most iconic spanish car from the 60s and a good part of the 70s, the Seat 600. I am tired of racing always in Ferraris or Porsches, try to beat the clock in a car that can only get around 120 Km/h, hehehe.
The levels are really different and with a lot of personality, we have been joking about Unesco is going to ban our game because a lot of the crazy places that we are running are protected by them
The first level is in the "Ciudad Encantada" in Cuenca/Spain, an amazing place that everybody should know once in his/her life... although everybody knows already even if it's only because Conan the Barbarian (Arnie's version) was made there
Then we will run around the Florida Keys, it has a funny reason too; the Loch Ness in Scotland, because my most beloved nephew, Dino boy, lives there now; Egypt, from Profanation to Fred... ehem from Abu Simbel to Giza
); Antarctica, around the spanish base there and for showing the nice game physics; and for last we arrive to the apotheosis final in Easter Island, the last place in the Earth where you would hope to see a 600 and a race
Our idea is to launch a playable demo soon (of course, take that "soon" with a lot of salt
) and after get some feedback, give a little more of polish to the game and released it.
