Rapidracoon - Racing Game Wip

[ukko]

Looks fantastic, that's all I can say. Commercial or not, I'm getting this, that much is sure! To satisfy my personal curiosity, how did you handle the graphics for this game? Did you write your own polygon fill routines in ASM via minimal lib, or what? Because the speed is amazing, it feels incredibely smooth.

Alex,
We write our own poly routine in ASM,we just used SDL lib for the init.
The 3D engine was written in Fixed.
We draw all the graphics.

Ukko/live!

What you see is what get.

So when can we buy it, and how?

woot woot woot!!

Please make the game available as a pay and download version, that would rock . (using paypal)

 

[sam fisher]

Can someone please host the video elsewhere as I cannot access youtube

 

[PokeParadox]

Same... although I'm going home shortly anyway... so I'll be able to watch it once I'm home again

I'm amazed that it runs so fast with just the one processor ukko.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this as a final release

EDIT: Just noticed on your homepage that it even has a track editor sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

[mr.miyagi]

Will you release the track editor for the game.?
It could be cool if it was possible to make your own track. and mabyee you could save your self alot of work, if you let people upload the tracks to you.

Finally a racing game for the 2x!! cant wait to watch the vid

 

[johnz1]

wow, this looks awesome

really cant wait for this

 

[nickspoon]

Wow!

Love it - from both a developer and user standpoint. I'm really shocked at how much you managed to squeeze out of the GP2X there. The world needs more developers like yourselves.

Good luck with it

 

[halo9]

Wow!
This is really exciting news. Best of luck with progressing your development. I'd seriously consider buying this!

Well consider this. There were some pretty decent 3D polygon games out there for the old Amiga such as Starglider II etc. That was a 16-bit CPU that only ran at 7 MHz. Now you have a 32 bit 200+ MHz CPU. If you look at the speed difference you can see that stuff like this is very doable on the GP2X, it just takes lean and mean optimised code like the old days. This seems to be done with that approach.

Good job, interested to see how this turns out.

I've got to have this.

Reminds me a little of Whipout from the look of the vehicles.

 

[OrR]

Looks quite nice, I hope it has the gameplay to fit. B)

 

[paulobecker]

This reminds me of a rather old PC-game which was kind of a Wipeout clone, but I can't remember if it came out before or after Wipeout. I think the name was High-Octane, but I can't seem to find anything about it on the web. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm getting puzzled now.

 

[DBH]

Multiplayer support over net would be appreciated as well... just need the BoBs now though hmm...

 

[krosfyah]

Reminds me a bit of Megarace.
