This thread looks like it Shalinor just followed a tutorial for a SA GameDev Challenge thread and slapped a poll on the top.

Wall-of-shame!

I put up my post mortem for County Fair Figure 8 Racin'.

I will admit that I was disappointed when I didn't make it to the second round of judging and that I didn't get Best Unreal Engine 4, but I am still proud of the game that I made and I am very pleased that most people found it to be fun.

Hopefully I will be able to participate in SAGAMEDEV XI, time permitting.

Well, I HAD a post mortem written and posted, but it seems that if you hit the ready to submit button instead of the save button, it doesn't save your post.

edit: post mortem rewritten and saved.

County Fair Figure 8 Racin

Things I liked:
  • Nice and short
  • Ragdoll Physics
  • It wasn't tank controls

Things I didn't like:
  • Paw seems like a bit of a jerk
  • In fact, take Paw out of the game and there's no difference
  • Is there any difference with the cars?


Paw only exist as the narrative on why you have to come in first place rather than allowing the player to finish in 2nd or 3rd place. I do think it is fair criticism to say that a REAL racing game shouldn't game over as soon as someone else comes in first place.

The cars all have the same AI, models, and attributes, but there is a 30% chance a car will be aggressive. Aggressive cars will actively try to run over the player, including backing up to hit you.

I meant the car choices at the beginning, or is that just there to emphasise the gag?

Ah, no the 3 car choices are a misdirection gag. All three just start the game and have no effect on anything.
