Still looking to work with someone. If you are interested, comment here or here.
So what are we doing today? Or at least for the next two weeks & into the future if need be?
The game
Turbo, which used to be an arcade game before being ported to home consoles in 1982 and in 1983, is a game where you go fast and race by a bunch of cards. You have to pass 30-ish cars at the start and every "round" you need to pass more cars. Gameplay controls is going left, right, shifting to high or low gear, and acceleration and breaking. The faster you go, the longer the crash takes for your car to be able to accelerate again. The hazards are the other cars, the walls, the oil / water spills, and an ambulance that somehow goes faster than you.
Changes to be made
The game is awfully hard because, like all arcade games, the game was made to eat quarters
- The game must be made a little easier by having the hazards be telegraphed.
- I'm thinking of removing acceleration and braking in favor of an automatic "move fast" system.
- Getting hit would "downshift" you, but not stop you fully
That's all. Let's see what happens.
