Fly for Your Life
An anti-gravity racing game I made on my own for my graduation project in IGAD (Game Programming) at Breda University of Applied Sciences.
I worked on the Game Physics, Gameplay and AI. Also, I designed the track using the Spline feature from Unreal Engine 4.
Project Description:
-
Team Size: Solo Project
-
Tools: UE4, C++, SourceTree
-
Platform: PC
-
Project Duration: 5 months

Hovering: Uses PID controls for more precision and ability to fine-tune variables.
-
Custom Gravity: Allows for vehicle snapping to track in any direction (i.e. driving upside down).
-
Movement: Physics-based Acceleration, Braking, Turning.
Artificial Intelligence
-
Steering Behaviour for simple movement around track. To be expanded to Context Steering.
Gameplay
-
Position tracking along custom-built level.
-
Time keeping for laps.
