Humble Beginnings

Welcome to the Speed Dating Development Blog!

Logo not final. Actually, none of this porbbaly is.

Throughout the summer, I hope to be posting the weekly goings on with this fascinating project.

So, what is Speed Dating? Speed Dating is a high-speed futuristic racing game with dating elements. Yes, between the F-Zero inspired races, players will get to chat up their fellow racers and build a bond with them.

The goal is that how the player behaves on and off the track will impact how the other racers interact with them.

What we've got so far:

The crappy placeholder art is temporary.

- 2.5D racing

- Accelerating + braking

- UI layout

- Super basic square track

- Four different corners

- Track logic coming soon (eg. being able to complete a lap)

The striped barriers are very important, more on that later.

- Proximity Syphon: pressing a button when near another racer builds up the gauge on the top left. Once filled, the player gets a power-up based on who they were near (that part is also coming).

This project is still in the early stages of development, so it will certainly evolve over time.
