Video⌗
What is it?⌗
- Engine: Unity
- Language: C#
- Description: A multiplayer racing game with six degrees of freedom!
Think you can fly without getting sick?
Abstrack is a multiplayer racing game where you fly spaceships at breakneck speed! It is also very in development and not actually ready yet.
This is actually based on an older project from my last year at university, where I promised I would develop this further. And now, I am!
There have been many changes since the last prototype, not least of all having more content.
Current features:⌗
- 6DOF racing in spaceships
- Items that the player can use to gain an advantage
- “Tension” Mini-boost system - adds a skill to master! Can you fly fast and close to inside corners?
- Radon item selection with different weights depending on your position in the race.
- Networked multiplayer using the Mirror netcode API
- A single map
- Fully implemented game loop with laps and position tracking
- Room system for players to join before the race starts
- Bots that fill in for missing network players, controlled by steering behaviours
- DNF timer for players that don’t finish in time
Items⌗
There are a few items in the game that allow you to gain the upper hand while racing.
- Boosting
- Rockets
- Homing Missiles
- Mines
- Disc (basically a shield but I’m going to change it since it was a weird idea)
More information to come!
