DemolitionX Jam

nerd-sanctuary 2020-04-21 18:39

Overall, this is an incredible effort for a game jam. It shows why Unity is a great system to use for such a competition. Then again, it is glitchy and a lot of things do not work quite like they should, showing why Unity is not a great system for this kind of competition. I have found that I need to do a day or two of debugging for every day I develop in Unity, and that hard truth is harming this game.

Please continue it and put it out there where people can enjoy it. A few days of clean up and perfection will make this a really fun game. If you can get a bigger arena with more cars, it would be awesome.

Well... if you press ESC when selecting a car the menu will duplicate cars on screenasdasd.png

Thanks for review.. There is a new update coming on 24th April.. Will have the arena replaced with a new one... hopefully our game will show unity is great for games like this...

It's obviously rather rough right now, but I had great bit of fun trashing my car around the arena. Once I even jumped out of it :D. Car physics and damage simulation are good!

I tried the game but no other players where available. The car driving was good, but the collision physics were funky. But i get that Online sync is not easy. Congrats on your Game!

The game was fun and very intuitive. The audio and graphics were both okay. If the game was a bit more polished it could be pretty fun. Also, I agree with @testlab that the car driving was good ,but the collisions were not very good.. Over all good job, and keep it up!

It was fun, the driving system is really good, one feature that i would like is some camera controll using the mouse.Overall good entry, and wow for having multiplayer in a jam!!

Hope you guys improve the synchronization of the physics across the clients (tho it might have to do with your server being in Krakozhia :wink: )

I like destruction. Add more fire and I'm in!

I liked the gameplay design, demo derby games are always lots of fun. It looks good for a jam game, controls are easy, and objective is easy to understand. I would have added music of some sort just to add to atmosphere, but otherwise very enjoyable!

Thank you.. explosion particles is wip..

This was pretty fun to play, really enjoyed it

Certainly an ambitious project for Ludum Dare, one of very few that manages to have any multiplayer at all. I liked the destructibility and the vehicle controls were pretty decent too. Just wish there was more to do and less random collisions, though that could be due to my crappy internet.

Its really fun to crash around. XD The damageable parts and losing ability to steer/drive when the wheels pop off is pretty amazing. Acceleration is a bit slow, and the ramps could be a bit wider to reduce the chance of getting stuck. But those are just minor nitpicks, the multiplayer aspect is already very impressive. :O I had tons of fun with a few other players :)

Had fun with scsc and Shrek!

This is quite a big project for ludumdare, multiplayer & it being a 3D game is a very difficult thing to be able to make in a jam, so it's amazing that you managed to pull it off! The game itself is rather fun, I like how the car dynamically gets damaged, depending on how much health you lose. and I also like the game in general, it's a neat game. I'm guessing the models are from the asset store since it's hard to model a full car for a jam game, so I won't rate it on the graphics section [although if you did make the car, first of all wow, and second of all let me know so I can update my rating]

Overall I like the game, it's a big project for a game jam, and it turned out really well considering how big it is. Gameplay wise I'm not really sure what the point is, I personally don't really like driving games so it's probably not for me. but I can't say that I dislike it considering how much effort appears to have been put into it :)

@sinci1 Thank you for your interest, yeah sadly we couldn't do modeling 🙁. Time was limited and most of time was spent on fixing Mirror... You may fall in love with driving games after this project completes 😁

nihal 2020-05-12 17:19

@yy404 I am glad that you enjoyed. The fun will be double soon when you can play with your friends 😎. Interesting? Stay updated with us.

@specturnal You can always download game and host your own server to play with your friends ☺

@madalaski yes it was ambitious project. And syncronising physics is a good difficult task. Hopefully we may come up with wonders!! Stay tuned and say your friends - "You can't wreck me in DemolitionX 😏"

@cancerous Good to know you enjoyed, but don't enjoy alone pass on to your friends and family 😊

nihal 2020-05-12 17:21

@guille we are into polishing aspects and more importantly new updates will be frequently coming... We will try our best to make the game buttery smooth. So be ready for destruction 😋

shreyasrao-ts 2020-05-12 19:59

ahh Crazy game! liked the multiplayer part of the game and the arena! A little more polish and features will make it a really good game!!!
