It looks pretty nice so far...I rather liked twisted metal so it will be interesting how this progresses.

I'm just hoping that you have a pretty cool story to go along with it too.

Will there be multiplayer?

Love the game idea, if I may recommend, spend some more time on the UI... it will be a big factor on how the gameplay feels. Do lots of concept work. I think the game itself is tying very well together but I see the UI and I get lost.

Great work all in all! Keep us updated! I have a few friends at full sail.. I love seeing what they do.

Yea our UI has been totally reworked since our last images. Its very easy and efficient now. All cooldowns on weapons and health is visible on the aim assist cross hair attached to your vehicle.
What do you suggest?

We welcome feedback, so thanks for the posts so far!

I have a few questions, first off do you plan to make all the vehicles equal? As in speed/weight/acceleration etc.

Second, do you plan to have collision damage play a significant role. This really would only apply if the first question is a yes. Personally I would find a game where I can smash into people really fun in comparison to a game where I just shot stuff at people.

I would also suggest (if you don't have it already) to add some sort of spike upgrade which surrounds your car and hurts others on impact. As well as some sort of speed boast, although this isn't a racing game I would still assume quickly running away from some or catching up to someone would be useful (and if you have collision damage you could use the boast to ram into people).

Also do you plan to allow those characters to drive separate vehicles? And if so do you plan to give them each some sort of unique attribute?

Just my suggestions, personally the only thing I really like about any racing game (with combat or not) is being able to ram into someone else

You should go with the name, Crash Vandeecoot! Seriously though, your game is looking great! I was wondering if there were going to be multiple levels in the game? Also, what's the back story of the gramps dude? Suspicious what he's doing there.

Neat concept. I'd be very interested in seeing the finished product as I'm also going through a game design course towards being an engine programmer. What year of study are you guys in?

Ahh, that final-term project. Best of luck and don't let anyone slack off! I'm one year into my course and we're doing a mini game development class where we have to make a basic game (using a stupidly simple GDK called Game Maker) in 4 weeks in a team of four. We've already had to have words with one guy who isn't pulling his weight.
