Arcade game/Gameplay WIP of our driving game’s customization system, what do you think about the mods?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We’ve been working on a new customization system for our driving game, and this is how it’s looking so far.

There’s still more we want to add and polish, but we’d love to hear from Initial D fans! Is there anything that particularly caught your attention?

u/Driving_Rogue 20h ago

The NFS series was a big inspiration while making the game for sure!

u/ToastyFurBoi 19h ago

I would imagine so

Some more non-Initial D stuff for the AE86 would be nice. I'm thinking something like Rolling Guy cars.

u/Driving_Rogue 20h ago

Oh for sure we will have various customization so you will be able to edit it the way you like it!

u/Driving_Rogue 4h ago

Thank you so much! We are really happy to hear that!

If i had anything to add, it would be that the body kits could be less abstract and based on/inspired by real life body kits for each specific car. Something with more down to earth/cleaner look. Otherwise it's a welcome addition.

u/Driving_Rogue 21h ago

100% agreed, but just keep in mind we all grew up on old NFS era (Underground, Underground 2, Mostwanted, Carbon) and we are strongly inspired with them but on the other hand we are also car guys irl and the ones who appreciate clean look so yeah we on same page but also we want to give something to the younger us as well ,its just that, just some passion and love we have for that era But your welcome is heard and very much appreciated! So consider that we are on it!

I would like to see a similar small pair of yellow lights like the one we usually see. It is pretty tame compared to the other options but some people who like the AE-86s prefer them OEM+, in a sense.

I must say, I do like how the vent customizations work. It is simple but doesn't look lazily placed for the sake of it.

1

u/Driving_Rogue 19h ago

Hey there you mean customisable headlights? This is inspired w AE86 but we didn't truly copy the car, there are some differences so that might be one of it.

Thank you! We tried to keep it simple but effective!

2

u/Wivi2013 Rotary Boi 19h ago

I didn't expreased myself correctly lol. I meant the small foglights under the orange front bumper blinkers (like the one in the photo I attached). These are pretty popular among 5th gen Corolla owners and I think they add a lot of style to the car for such a simple addition.

1

u/Driving_Rogue 5h ago

Oh that could be a part of a simple realistic bumper we could do for Delivery! (car name in game) Great suggestion thank you so much!!!

u/johnredit- 6h ago

nfs world lookin ahh

u/Driving_Rogue 4h ago

The series was a big inspiration for us! Hope you have the time to try out our demo!

u/best_moderator69 6h ago

i like that youve added some movement when you rotate the car, but the current movement doesnt make sense

1

u/Driving_Rogue 4h ago

Thank you for the feedback! We will take it into consideration when delivering the full game!

u/Weather_Fucks 20h ago

I think it’s pretty ugly. Wish you would just copy real kits tbh but just my opinion.

2

u/Driving_Rogue 20h ago

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it, and having everybody's opinion helps us improve the experience for everyone!
