Air Racing

Free download: Windows Phone Android Windows Store

Fly 2 of the fastest raceplanes in the world at ridiculous speeds whilst maneuvering between tight air gates in a short but challenging course!

Part of a collection that won the Microsoft Appreneur competition in 2013. Created over a month, alongside work on DownForce and other titles.

Built with Unity 4 Free. Uses custom flight controls, menus, and checkpointing system.

Development

I was watching the Red Bull Air Race, when I realised it would work amazingly well as a video game. I'm a big fan of the precision needed to accurately fly through those pylons, so I tried modeling a game that replicated that 'knife-edge' feeling!

The lighting and aesthetic of this game is something I'm very proud of. It's hard to make something look pretty in Unity Free without being experienced in the tools and techniques used. For my first ever complex 3D game in Unity, this is a game that stands up very well for itself.

I'm looking into options to make a larger, more professional and polished version of this game. Perhaps even for consoles like the PlayStation Vita!
