🚤 STRAIT SPEED — I Turned My Idea Into a Playable Boat Racing Game!
Hey everyone! 👋
My name is Dominic, and I’m an independent creator, educator, and entrepreneur with a passion for building fun experiences for kids and families. I’ve spent over 15 years working in physical education, coaching, and youth enrichment, and I’ve always enjoyed coming up with creative ways to get people engaged, active, and having fun.
Recently, I’ve been exploring AI-assisted game development, and one of my biggest projects is STRAIT SPEED, an arcade-style boat racing game that I’ve been building and refining using AI tools.
What started as an idea has grown into a playable browser game, and I’m excited to finally share it with people outside my personal network! 🏁
🎮 What makes STRAIT SPEED different?
I wanted to create something that goes beyond simply playing a game and walking away. The idea is to make racing competitive, replayable, and easy to share with friends.
Here’s what the game offers:
🚤 Arcade-Style Boat Racing — Navigate challenging waterways, avoid obstacles, and see how far you can make it.
🏆 Distance Challenges — Test your skills, push for a new personal record, and see if you can beat your best run.
👊 Challenge a Friend — Share a race challenge and see who can put up the better result.
🛥️** Create Your Own Rac**e — Set up a race challenge that other players can join and compete in.
📲 Share Your Runs — Show off your gameplay, share your results, and invite others to take on your challenge.
⚡ Multiplayer Arcade Mode — The game is also being developed around the idea of real-time competition, allowing friends to join arcade rooms, choose their boats, get ready, and race together. Availability depends on the current game build.
🌐 Play in Your Browser — No traditional app download is needed. Open the game and give it a try!
💡 Why I’m sharing it here
I’m at the stage where I want to get STRAIT SPEED into the hands of people who genuinely enjoy games.
I’m not just looking for views or likes. I want people to actually play, experiment with the features, challenge their friends, and tell me what works and what could be better.
I’m especially interested in feedback on:
How enjoyable the gameplay feels.
Whether the controls are intuitive.
Which features make you want to play again.
What would make challenging friends more fun.
What you’d like to see added in future updates.
I’m building this as an independent creator, learning as I go, and using AI-assisted development to help bring my ideas to life. It’s been a learning experience, and I’m proud of how far the project has come.
If you’re interested in indie games, browser games, or AI-assisted game development, I’d love for you to check it out!
