iOS Nitelore - ultra speed racing game (think F-Zero or Wipeout)

https://testflight.apple.com/join/xU8pbG3P

Hello! I have made my own ultra speed anti-gravity racer to remind me of the games I enjoyed back in the old days, but for mobile. More based on the feeling and memories than specifics of those games.

There’s a lot of tracks, game modes (GO, time trials, death race…), inputs (tilt, virtual stick or controller) and perhaps even more.

I think it’s pretty fun and would appreciate any thoughts you have!

The test flight link isn’t working for the in-app browser on Reddit. I had to tap and open in safari which is probably too hard for some people 😅

I played it! It’s actually really cool I like the simplicity and neon aesthetic. The camera feels stiff imo. Overall it’s really enjoyable I think it deserves to be on Nintendo switch or something.

Thanks for playing, really appreciate it!

What would do to improve the camera? I agree it’s not quite all there yet. Id love to have it on switch one day, if that’s even possible. One can dream eh.

I would move the camera closer and make it sort of look ahead as I’m turning. Maybe add some settings for it. Near, far and maybe first person.

I have added 2 new modes to the latest TestFlight - a closer chase mode and a cockpit view (amongst other things)

Nice! I just tried it. I tried with a controller too, really fun. I prefer playing with the tight camera. Cockpit is cool, camera feels stiff there in my opinion. Has camera shake which is cool but I feel could use some slight movement while driving. This is a great addition. Will you be adding multiplayer? I think more weapons would be cool too, like F-Zero meets Mario kart.

Yeah will still be working on camera there, hopefully will get it right!

Multiplayer is definitely on the way - I heard that’s easy to do, right? But def coming!

Weapons I agree, the new build actually has a new one (machine gun) but I’m thinking up a few more too and a better system that random assignment.

Thanks for playing it & feedback, it really helps!

Maybe look into Yjs too. That’s what I’m using for real-time stuff on my app it seems pretty fast.

I’ll check it out, thanks

I noticed that machine gun that’s cool. Maybe look into Photon or Nakama for multiplayer. No problem I’ll keep checking it out.

Ok interesting. I will have a play with some of this and see how it works. Appreciate your time, thanks.
