Destructor2D - 2D racing sim with highway driving, car deformations. Like BeamNG & Flatout but in 2D.What is new since last thread:-improved car damage-jumps on tracks, car jumping-improved graphicsTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW4QzwUWn_0Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4660070/Destructor2D/
Destroying cars with a tanker.
Demolition derby.
Highway driving and crashing.
cars that look this damaged but still drive around normally looks very weird. they literally do not have wheels at the front at this point.
>>738912409I think Destructor2D is a very bad name for a driving game, it sounds more like the name for a physics library for unity or something
>>738914240>cars that look this damaged but still drive around normally looks very weird. they literally do not have wheels at the front at this point.Yes, the wheels of the car move during crashes. If the cars wouldn't drive anymore the players would be frustrated. Maybe I should also rotate the wheels after crashes.
>Release Date: 2028>developer/Publisher: Krzysztof Kucza
>>738914405>I think Destructor2D is a very bad name for a driving game, it sounds more like the name for a physics library for unity or somethingI chosen this name because it suggest there is destruction and car damage in the game, demolition derby etc.But you might be right, that it's not great. But I don't have any other ideas for the name.

Blocking the highway, crashing.

>>738915873Marketing expert Zuckowski said that you need to promote game early and gain wishlists.I also want to collect feedback, what features to add, what to improve, etc.
60 cars crash test.
Are there cities like in GTA 1?
>>738918256No, but there is a highway.
Highway interchange.
Can you add weapons so the cars fight with them?
Truck drifting.
>>738919668>Can you add weapons so the cars fight with them?This is planned, in crash racing mode.
Crash racing.
What kind of cars are in the game?
Tanker attacks tanker.
>>738919241You need to study what the dimensions of these things actually look like.>crash into columns below>take turn too fast and go airborne
>>738912409Reminds me of GTA
All the vehicles look like 3d modeled remakes of gta 1 vehicles.
>>7389158532D: Driving Destruction
The physics and systems look great but you need to work on the game part of it. Just racing is fine but you can do a lot more than driving on a highway. This engine looks perfect for a GTA 1/2 type of game which you can do even without having on foot parts.
Looks pretty fun. Cop chases and damage cost calculator like in Burnout crash mode would be cool.

>>738922957>take turn too fast and go airborneWon't the barrier/fence prevent that? Or should it be weak so the car breaks the barrier?
>>738923101>All the vehicles look like 3d modeled remakes of gta 1 vehicles.They might look 3d but they are flat 2d sprites, just like in gta 1.

I want to release a GTA game as a sequel to this game.
Destruction Derby has two Ds I think that's important.
Yeah this is the kinda game I would play in a browser if it had quick games and really fast matchmaking.
adbuy one
>>738930390Police chases as both the police and the getaway driver would be kino. You would have to make a city to drive around in though
>>738927012>Pointless. Just give good physics and make a game instead of tech demo.Working on "game" part, developing career/story mode.
Tanker drifting.
>>738928458>His skillset begins and ends with data collection, he can’t actually parse any of it and he doesn’t know shit about gamesThen what marketing strategy do you suggest, other than gathering wishlists now?
>>738930621>Yeah this is the kinda game I would play in a browser if it had quick games and really fast matchmaking.There is no multiplayer.
Don't give this site money, OP. Keep making threads.
Drag racing.
>>738931045>Police chases as both the police and the getaway driver would be kino. You would have to make a city to drive around in thoughWhy city? The police chases could be on a highway.
>>738932296His early marketing approaches are based around mostly unspoken assumptions such asa) that your game is some small quirky thing that lends well to short-form content marketingb) that your game is only going to be developed for a few monthsc) that the market for your game is the general game audience as a wholeIt's a very fire-and-forget strategy. There is value in starting advertising early, but for a game like yours you would be better off figuring out the most specific target audience who would be interested in your game, figuring out what communities they hang out in (specific subreddits, old forums, generals on 4chan), and doing a back and forth of light advertisement to them, involved playtesting and feedback, then expanding the game in the direction that feedback indicates. The eventual goal is to get a game that targets them so well that they'll form your core audience and will gush about it to others
>>738935051I don't know who is my audience and if the audience exists at all. I made this game for myself, not for audience.I am trying some reddit boards to see where will the game be popular, but it's not easy, reddit often bans self promotion and they require high karma to post.
>>738934881Because zooming around on streets with slower or stopped cars and pedestrians is more exciting
>>738935480>I don't know who is my audience and if the audience exists at all. I made this game for myself, not for audience.Then don't expect to get any sales. If you want any financial success you need to figure out your audience and how to get your game in front of their eyes. If it's just a hobby and you don't care about making money then whatever
>>738935480Well find it out if you can. Developing for yourself is fine, but developing for yourself has nothing to do with marketing unless you can figure out where the people like you are hiding.In the mean time, pay attention to people's energy levels in their feedback. Outright feature requests are what the user thinks they want, but their energy level betrays what parts of your game they really think about

>>738933640>Don't give this site money, OP. Keep making threads.>>738930651I will buy ad when game releases in 2028.
>>738935557>Because zooming around on streets with slower or stopped cars and pedestrians is more excitingok but I will add city to the sequel of this game
Carnage 2
>>738935984>>738936021I am spamming the game in random places.On some places I got shadowbanned. For example on tiktok.Reddit is hard to post on because they don't allow self promotion and require karma to post.
Anyone remembers old game that looked very similar but had fixed camera looking from above and you could jump onto audience making them into a bloody mess?I was trying to find it but can't.

>>738939608>>738941481Thanks. That looks very similar. But also I found Slicks 'n' Slidehttps://youtu.be/pMr5012bOskNow I'm not sure which one I played, probably both to be honest.
>>738941442>Beam2DToo similar to BeamNG.drive. They could win a lawsuit.
>>738941663>also figure out activities in the game. a sandbox will not sellI have plans for various driving games stolen from Driver: You are the wheelman. There will be also racing, crash racing, demolition derby. Maybe I will add cop chases, drifting, rallycross.And this will be packaged into story/career mode.>improve your marketing. this is the most impactful thing you can do to your gamehow to?>support moddingI was thinking of allowing car mods, so people can add new cars.

>>738912409this looks like a flash game i would have played on newgrounds like 20 years ago.
>>738944447>this looks like a flash game i would have played on newgrounds like 20 years ago.That doesn't sound good. Flash games are weak.What does the game lack to be a serious game?
faggot anon posting dumb tech demo from 30 yhears ago thinking its a game
>>738912409Looks like the games I used to play in the 90's
>>738944837wheres the story/lore/characters/content/graphics/etc that justifies being more than a nintendo ds size rom?it looks like a web browser game that can be played in internet explorer.
>>738912409Looks cool but lacking purpose.Scenario modding and goals is what will make it move from a cool project to something I'd consider buying.It needs shit like cops and robbers, playing as both sides. Crazy taxi, picking up and dropping off passengers.Without anything goal orientated, it's literally just a game about hitting other cars and watching them deform.
>>738944837there is no reason to play or care about this gamelook, its over for you. you need to play more games, not make them, because you dont even know what a "base" game ishow can you look at your game and not know how to compare it verse every game ever made PERIOD regarding ANY GAME especailly given this agei would say there is not a videogame developer out there and ai will be the ones that lead the future but you can do youi know the truth of the matter and the future is a given, as is the future
>>738945239>wheres the storyI am working on story/career mode.>content32+ cars, many race tracks (but same biome/textures), highway map>graphicsWorking on adding more graphical elements to the map.>that justifies being more than a nintendo ds size rom?The game uses 60MB hard disk space. What is the size of nintendo ds rom?>it looks like a web browser game that can be played in internet explorer.Because of the graphics or features?
>>738945713>you need to play more gamesI can't because I don't like video games. I played games when they were good (decades ago), modern games are gay.
>>738912409looks cool anon. Call it "something something: prologue" and then make an offshoot of this in the future that's a GTA1/2 clone
>>738946270youre just an npcmost old games have zero reason to be played anymore as they hardly have solid gameplayyou seriously want to tell me games like mario are somehow better, you can fill yourself with nostalgia
>>738946320Yes the plan is to release a sequel with a city and missions. But first the first game needs to sell and bring profits.
>>738946457I am not a fan of Mario but look at other games. For example Grand Theft Auto. III/Vice city/ San andreas are better than GTA V and VI.Games peaked old time ago, modern slop is weak.
>>738925153>Won't the barrier/fence prevent that?Ideally, but there's been plenty of accounts of cars going over these barriers (usually during nasty wrecks where the car's hit with enough force to flip)

>>738946772Your best hope would be to implement multiplayer and turn it into a cash grab mobile game. No one will want to buy something that plays and looks like this on PC, sorry.
>>738912409shit like this used to be free on newgrounds or miniclip. fuck the future.
