ohhh what an awesome game Bro! I would love to do a port of your game as a proof of concept (first ;-)) on a real Amiga. Nowadays we have plenty of power for this on classics and PowerPC equipped Amigas. What do you think?
Dude! Thanks, and are you the one who posted me on Reddit a little while ago? I sent a response there. It's insanely difficult, mostly due to the massively large maps, layers, animations and Godot sensing tech. Only Vulkan Capable Graphics cards can handle these sorts of things due to the RAM requirments. For example 4200x2100 pixels by 3 layers is the absolute minimum for a track in game, then you have to Atlas in all the animations I draw too. Not to forget, the game speed is lightning fast, and you need that to do all the gate and collision sensing per frame @ 60 frames a second. That would be an endless horror story for any programmer. Porting to an Amiga, nah, it'd drive you nuts. And the game speed wouldn't keep up.
Awesome racing game in "Super Cars" style with smooth scrolling and excellent controls. Joypad and windowed mode support would be very desirable for the final version. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:46:53. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Thank you, nice job! Remind me, never to get in a supercar with the first driver. Lol. :D 2nd driver was doing very well! Ok, windowed mode is easy to add in Godot, I'll be adding controller support to the real game too.
Hi Retro, that's odd. I built the game on a very, 'very' low tier Windows 10 machine. Do you have a working graphics card? Ie, Updated the driver, that's the first thing to check, then a reboot. Apple Yes, Linux maybe, but not for this prototype.
Allrighty! I only have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, pretty old, but that driver is the latest available. Any additional software necessary, like Visual C++ or Net Framework?
Oh boy! It looks like it's the Vulkan Driver in Godot. Here's a Google Response. "While the GT 620 is an older, entry-level card, some users on the Godot GitHub have reported some performance issues, particularly with Vulkan, suggesting that the card might not have the best Vulkan driver support."
From the Godot site: "Looking on the Nvidia forums, the GT 720M is not Vulkan compatible (Nvidia had plans to support Vulkan on it, but they were dropped 6 years ago)." (That's 9 years now) <- That would be a newer card wouldn't it.
Kind of annoying isn't it. I'm using the latest Godot, version 4.4. So it looks like it's a no-go for the age of that card.
Hey Corso, ok Vulkan is not available. Not a real prob. I plan to upgrade to Windows 11 in the near future and around this time a new gfx card will enter my system as well. So, I thank you for the info and good luck with that awesome stuff mate.

Watching AmigaBill play this and I am so about this game! Freaking fantastic work, especially with all the little details!
Hehe, glad you like it. And thankyou! :D
I also wishlisted it, let's go with full game!!!!
I'm impressed, even bigger thankyou! :D
Doesn't work here in Windows 10. Will have another try soon. Any plans for an Raspberry Pi build?

You can find the GPU compatibility here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/about/system_requirements.html
I think that means any game built in Godot 4.4 onwards might not run on your card . :<

No probs. Certainly give this game a try when you get your new rig. :D
Hi!
It's fantastic, congratulations for this great game, I loved it!!
Thank you Roioros, very happy that you are enjoying it. :D
looks awesome going to give it a spin
Go for it Prosonic! Let us know how you went.
It may be a bit tricky at first. Practice makes perfect. ;)
