_SPEED_
_speed_ drops players into an adrenaline fuelled racing game at over 400MPH!_speed_ is a top down racing game set in 2100, the dawn of a new century and a new sport, the worlds first anti gravity racing league.Pilots are put in state of the art anti gravity craft in which they will race against other pilots or the clock.I plan on having a number of features completed before release.

Features for release :

  • Career Mode
  • Arcade Mode
  • Challenge Mode
  • Online Score Leaderboard

Arcade
Everything will be unlocked, all tracks, crafts, craft variants, mode etc will all be available to play. What you do in arcade mode will not effect Carer or Multiplayer modes.

Career Mode
Career mode will start you off with each teams standard craft, by using craft you earn commendations for that team, these commendations can be used to unlock new craft variants. (see end)
The career mode will consist of a map built of lots of hexagons which will contain race events, completing events will unlock the events in the surrounding hexes.Craft Variants
Each team will have four craft types :

  • Standard
  • Weapons Variant (slower, more armour)
  • Speed (faster, less armour)
  • Prototype (Only available in certain race events)

Race Events
Completing race events will get you a gold, silver, bronze or no medal depending on how well you do as well as commendations

  • Standard Race (just a simple race )
  • Time Trial (Beat a certain time to earn certain medal tiers)
  • Head to Head (1v1 race)
  • Tournament (Series of races after each other)
  • Endurance (Using each teams prototype craft, starting at the slowest speed and each lap the speed increases, race finishes when craft is destroyed)
  • Eliminator (No lap limit, first to x ship kills wins)

Power Ups
Power ups can be pick up by travelling over a weapons pad on the track if no power up is currently held, they are split into two categories, offensive and defensive.

Offensive

  • Lynch Beam - Attaches onto an enemy craft, drains their shield energy and adds it to yours.
  • Rockets - Fires three dumb fire rockets in a slight spread, will slow and damage enemy craft shields if hit.
  • Missile - Fires a single lock on missile that slows and damages the craft it hits.

Defensive

  • Mines - Deploys three mines behind your craft that will slow and damage any other craft it hits.
  • Shield - Creates a shield around your ship making you invulnerable to weapons and collision damage for a short time.
  • Boost - Gives your craft a temporary speed boost for a few seconds.

It's been a while since I've released a new build due to exams and revision slowing everything down but I've got to a state where the current version is stable enough to release.
- New lighting
- 12 new craft designs
- 6 new teams
- 1 new track
- New results card






Or visit the download section for the latest build

 The track Stanza always seems to drop my frame rate to around 40 for some reason but the other tracks are fine.
 Over the next few weeks I'll be having the last exams for my GCSEs so I expect development to be slow however, after that I have around 12 weeks of no school work!
 I've been thinking about getting some new music since I'm not sure if I would be allowed to sell the game with the music and I want some original music, so if anyone wants to / knows anyone who would be interested in making some music (preferably electronica) then get in contact.

I've also moved away from tumblr and started using WordPress for my site and blog, this allows me to split posts up into different categories and have multiple pages. Overall I'm very happy with the new site however there are still a few things to finish such as getting a custom domain.

These will be added in the next version, but I'm not sure about diagonals. It would probably require a complete overhaul because at the moment I'm using a fake 3d effect.

I've put development on hold until mid June due to my final GCSE exams.
