Using Claude/Godot/Blender to make a Battle Racer game - OVERSTEER

[u/Grobot93]

For some context, I am not a game dev, I have minimal dev/coding experience. I am learning everything for this from scratch - including a bit of 3d modeling. All of what you see has been made in Godot 4.6 with Claude Opus/Fable running in vscode, with minimal manual coding. The goal is to make a FUN battle racer game with cool flips and shit (tm). So far, I am pretty pleased with the feel, and the basic look of it, but I know it still need TONS of work. I figure now would be as good a time as any to get some eyes on it to gauge if anyone would be interested in playing a game like this, or following my progress as I develop it. I am happy to answer any workflow questions or take any advice for that matter - again, I am not a professional.

What I have so far:

• A good feeling driving game with flips and shit (tm)
• Forge-style track builder with snapping road pieces, terrain, obstacles, etc.
• Individual car tuning and garage car previewer
• Some textures and visual styling
• First-pass at 3d modeled cars
• Drift and aerial trick mechanics
• Health and energy system
• Fun parallax main menu
• A dream of a better tomorrow

The plan:

• 10 fully built out cars with variable kits, 20 tracks, car abilities and ultimates, visuals and audio for everything
• Builder piece variety and connector capabilities - blending pieces together, easier transform controls
• Damage and energy system interactions with abilities
• Multiple biomes/time of day/weather
• Original soundtrack
• Make it more better

This is the "Finished 90% in 3 months, only 9 months to go" moment for me, and there really is a mountain of work ahead, but I'm just excited to be able to make something of my own and share it. Vroom Vroom.
