Gnome Post On Sundays Demo

The third demo is here!

Overview:

5 levels set in the first zone of the game. 5 vehicles to try out, if you can manage to unlock them.

There are still a lot of things missing at this stage as it is very early in development, but I feel it's playable and fun.

I am looking for feedback on how the game play feels mostly. I will use this feedback to make tweaks early before I get too far into development. Feedback on any bugs and how you encountered them would also be helpful.

Live Development

This game was developed live on twitch, you can follow the progress here: https://twitch.tv/mlgesus_tv

You can also find me, and get updates in the Discord

Patch Notes:

This demo includes a lot of changes, including new driving mechanics and a new type of level (multi-checkpoint). Details are below.

Menu Changes:

Unit of measurement choice has been added to options (MPH or KM/H)

Button prompts now appear in menus and auto update depending on your input method.

You'll now hear more noises in the menus when navigating.

Unlock popup will now appear when you unlock something by completing a level, on the level completed screen.

Bugs with the resolution options have (hopefully) been fixed.

Online mode is now available in the level select menu, create/join rooms to drive around in free roam with other players. (Just a test, probably won't be a feature in the final game)

In Game Changes:

Cloud spawning system has been added, and the clouds now move across the sky.

Speedometer graphic has been added to go with the number, as well as unit of measurement.

Exhaust smoke has been updated for all vehicles to react to physics. As well as more smoke being produced.

You now yeet a package upon delivery!

Level 5 has been added, this level has multiple checkpoints that you can complete in any order.

The options menu is now available on the pause menu.

Fences have been replaced with actual hazards in the maps.

New Mechanics:

When drifting, you will see the dust next to your wheels turn red after some time. When you stop drifting after this, you will get a little boost.

When you drop a certain height and land without the accelerate button held, you can press the acceleration button within a small time window for a large boost!

If you hold the ragdoll button (Right bumper on controller, E on keyboard) when getting hit or driving into something that launches you, the car will flip and roll until you stop holding the button. Currently this is just for fun!
