Can you make a linux build ?
its hard the 1st time because you don't know the race. when you going fast its hard to dodge the other because the vision is limited. but overall good game
@acsid This game is written in java, so in theory it should be possible to run it with java -jar Tachyon.jar. However, I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/lwjgl/glfw/GLFWKeyCallbackI
With Oracle Java 9. So no Linux version for us it seems. I'll play this later.
Sorry about that, I'm having trouble exporting the project with Linux natives, so its missing lwjgl.so and a bunch of other linux specific libraries. When I get it working, I'll upload a link
I have provided a version for windows with a bundled JRE in case it helps someone
The gameplay itself was pretty nice, I liked the steering which felt smooth. The collisions were still a bit rough on the edges, but it was mostly the view that made the game really hard. Try increasing the view size so you can actually see the bends coming. The graphcis were pretty nice, and the music was okay too. Pretty good job man! :)
