Absolutely outstanding game! Hope it will be finished, but well, to finish... it only needs sound and a splash screen. Playability it's great and it's very fun!

How many stages it has?

Regards,

Salva

Thanks for the compliments.
There are only 3 stages, but I want to add more stages and new game modes.

Here are a few infos about the game:
- fast raycasting engine
- self-drawn stereoscopic graphics
- 3 stages
- ai players become angry when you hit them

BTW, here's a link to an ingame video: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=twiB61177XM

There is no stage selection screen. You have to reach the finish line in the given time to get to the next stage.

I've tried to learn a bit of coding :), and so that is what I know atm..just a bit. But from what I remember, isn’t a raycasting engine the same type used in wolfenstein 3D ? Do you think your engine would do well in that application ?

This was a very surprising entry, and very well done. You answered one of my questions already when you said you planned to add more to the game. Do you plan to use DanB’s midi player to control the music (off topic wow..how cool is that entry for a developing tool )?

Have you done any other projects or demo’s for the vboy ? Or was this your first entry into vboy programming ? Are you going to continue concentrating your time on working on this project or do you have others your going to work on also ?

I better stop before I have screens and screens of questions, thanx for the game btw

great game. I ever wanted to play an Outrun clone on the Virtual Boy.

I hope you can add midi sound in a future release. I pretty sure the the classic Splash Wave from Outrun is available as midi :)

The engine of VB Racing is not really useable for a fps like wolf3d, but I have already begun to write a new raycasting engine for first person shooters.

Maybe.

This was my first vb game, but I have a few other projects running.

Yes, its available as midi :)
Because of copyright reasons I probably won't release the game with this music, but I could write a tool with which you could replace music data.

that would be awesome Your raycasting engine does also look very nice. I'm really impressed what happened in the homebrew scene since the release of the flashboy.
