Hey, guys. Been a long time since I posted a game project, right?

Car battle is back! If you're an old fellow 3D Rad member, you've probably seen me post a WIP of that game in 3D Rad. If you have no idea, then check out this video:

I've always wanted to make that game internet multiplayer. It's about to become a reality.

Anyways. I need 10 people in total to play the game with me. So far I have 6. If you want to have some fun with me and the game, just reply here or contact me.

Here's my video of showing its alpha stage at the moment and telling you more info on it:

Looking forward to some messages

I'm in, sign me up, how much do you pay :P

lol, haven't said anything about money, but could be considered in later stages (don't quote me on that)

did you design the cars from scratch or does unity come with vehicle physics already to play with like 3drad ?

Unity has a standart assets pack, which includes a car, but I made mine from scratch, because it's vital for the game to have more flexible and responsive car controls, not necessarily realistic.

Damn, The Game Looks Great. I wanna try it Please :P

Allright, guys! We had a great test this Saturday and I had a ton of fun! Next Saturday (March 3rd) we'll have another private test, so anyone interested can still tell me.

Please, and I emphasize on that, I need you to be able to join our voice chat (no talking required from your side, but recommended). Make sure you can use Google Hangouts (it has some compatibility problems with other browsers, but runs on Google Chrome) at least until we switch to Discord. Troubleshooting is a pain in the ass via text.

Also, I plan to progressively post video updates on how the game is going, just like my Geometry dash project 2 years ago, as I want to start engaging people with the development and the game itself.

Anyways, I am looking forward to playing with more of you! Message me earlier, so we can discuss time (due to timezones).

Why does the project preview video  show a different world then the test one we used ?


OK fine, i'll use chrome but only cause i was able to install all my extensions from firefox and import all my settings too.

Still don't like it... maybe with time i will, firefox has been troublesome from time to time with webpage clicks not working which annoys me to no end.

@tinsoldier, the map in the video is a test map and it is a bit smaller (4 players). But the real reason is that I wasn't able to make a system for changing the map realtime.

And I am really sorry that you have to go through the trouble of installing Chrome just for Hangouts. Unfortunately, Hangouts is the best voicechat/screenshare service for me at the moment. I tried Discord, but it cuts off the beginning of the sentence when you start talking. Until that's fixed, we'd have to stick with Hangouts.

@powersupersport I didn't install chrome just for testing and chat, it was already installed due to issue's with firefox from time to time.

Chrome was just left unused.

I find it funny how both firefox and chrome have issues on some websites, were firefox works and chrome has issues, then other web pages chrome works and Firefox has the issues...

Cant say why this happens but i'd guess it's just bad programmers on all sides of the fields including web developers and the browser companies.

EDIT
@powersupersport
on discord is there an option for VOX control ( it auto mutes the mic till you talk ) there is often a sensitivity control that may need adjustment.
VOX is one option of 3 being   VOX (Voice-Operated Transmit) or PTT (Push To Talk) or Always on

@tinsoldier yes Dicord has Push-to-talk

@tinsoldier, I've tried reducing the sensitivity level to the maximum reduction possible and disabling all post-processing audio effects, but the problem is still there.

@powersupersport For discord, change your mode from 'Voice Activity' to 'Push to Talk', or try talking in a server instead of group messages.

@powersupersport  Just a suggestion..

You really need to share info on this project test wel before the test happens.

Dropping info in our lap 30 minutes before the test happens isn't a good thing.

For instance... you talk about using hangouts and / or discord but haven't decided which yet, or haven't bothered to tell us which...

I say this because i don't have a discord profile, i don't even know if i need one, i've never used it cause i already have so many communication apps / process's i am getting a little tired of installing creating profiles for things i may only use once or never....

Please share more info before the event is suppose to happen.. it's a good thing called planning ahead..

@tinsoldier, yes, I'd like to. But when the information is not available right ahead, I cannot.

if you guys are having so much trouble with discord or hangouts, set up team speak, it's a bit hard to set up for the server but everything else should be fine, also not to mention the unmatched voice quality it has.

@gamedeveloper0, Hangouts would be the best alternative so far, as it has little to no problems with audio, in addition almost everyone has a Google account.

well it is buggy as hell, also not to mention the lagging.

Every service can lag due to network conditions

One solution that I know of that works very well is "Zoom." They built up their system to be used by large companies and having seen it in action multiple times, I know how effective and painless it can be. On the down side their free subscription plan is a bit limiting when doing group calls.

Hangouts is the best (and easiest to use) free solution as far I can tell. Keep in mind the free factor and no subscriptions (Software will always have its flaws).

@f1andre, @gamedeveloper0, I am trying to make it as easy as possible with no software download/install necessary and no registration as these things can be quite annoying especially if you're never going to use this software again.

Allright, guys! Second testing session has passed. And it was a ton of fun! Next testing session will be on March 10th, most likely at 6PM GMT. Everyone is invited to come and play with us!

Fun YOU say, i got killed like 6 times and only twice may have killed someone else or at least helped.. you guys are ruthless killers... 😆 and yes it was a blast.. looking forward to next weekend.

Can I be tester . I know how to stalk dudes

Just reminding you guys that we're going to have a private test tomorrow (Saturday) at 6PM GMT. If you're interested in testing the game, please make sure you message me. Looking forward to play with you
