Slicks 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 Drift Racing! Practice drifting, or go racing against other real people. I'm still developing the game (using GWT and WebGL4J). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Still to come is a track editor, and creating teams to go drift racing together. PLAY HERE >>> https://drift.team/ Happy drifting!

Marius 6 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 are the other players real or bots/IA ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slicks 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 9 hours ago, Marius said: are the other players real or bots/IA ? They are replays of real people. Once you race, your replay is saved, and the next person will be racing against you. Once a few people race the same track, then the replays are reset, and the process starts over again (the first driver to race, gets a ghost replay car to race against). However, some tracks have traffic (which is bot/IA). Like this one: If there is a name below the car, then it is a replay of a real person, otherwise, it's traffic. Also, if you hit traffic, then both cars are affected by the collision. However, if you hit another person, because it's a replay, only your car will be affected by the collision, so you will come off worse. So, avoid hitting other players.

Marius 6 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 yes. I noted. But... Can I play also against my friends in real time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've deployed the game on Google App Engine which doesn't natively support opening web sockets. So, there would be a fair bit of work to get that going.

You now can! ...sort of. 🙄 I've added private friend races. It's still turn by turn racing, however, you can see when your friend is racing, and you can race right after they have finished their race. I know it isn't what you were after, but it's a start. 🙂 Demo video: Have fun drifting with you friends! https://drift.team/?p=friendrace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slicks 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 Ghost races are now done. Tracks that have close racing now have opponents as ghosts cars. So you can focus on drifting, and not worry about crashing. Happy drifting everyone! https://drift.team/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattstyles 667 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 That was great, I really enjoyed this game. I did, however, have a few places where I seemed to crash but I wasn't anywhere near an obstacle or car. The first practise one (chase?) had a few places where I'd crash for no obvious reason. 1 Slicks reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Mattstyles, Glad to hear you enjoyed it! What's your race name? I record every race, so hopefully I'll be able to debug what's going on. Or, if you go to your profile Settings -> Profile, you can see your last few races, can you put the URL of the race that had a problem. Thanks! EDIT: Never mind, I found you. "The Beast" https://drift.team/?p=user&id=5678400924549120 🙂 I see the weirdness. You're right, it looks like your car is hitting something, but there is nothing there. Very strange. Time to start debugging. EDIT 2: Found the bug. The traffic cars have gone invisible. Woops! Fix coming soon. EDIT 3: All fixed. When I made changes to render ghost cars, I messed up the rendering of the traffic cars. Traffic cars are now back! You can now see them hitting you and spinning you out https://drift.team/?p=replay&id=5637840645914624 Sorry about that, and thanks for noticing the bug! I really should do more testing. 😊 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattstyles 667 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Ha ha, that is awesome @Slicks, great work on finding and fixing so quick. 10/10 will race again! (just as well you found it, I couldn't remember at all what I put in as a name!) 1 Slicks reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrewdPixel 25 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 Tested with Chrome on MacOS Mojave. Good game that seems overall well put together with solid performance. The controls were rather challenging, but that seems to be the idea. As you are still building it and adding more I'll definitely check back. Good Luck! 1 Slicks reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slicks 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2019 To help the beginner drifters out there, I've added spin control, and auto braking. These can be turned on/off in game: The spin control will detect if your drift is about to get out of control, and will steer into the drift for you. The auto brake will detect if you are about to head off the track, and will apply the brakes for you. I've tried to make them not too aggressive, so there is still skill involved in drifting the car. Please let me know if you like them or not. Happy drifting! 🙂 https://drift.team/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RagingPixel 7 Report post Posted May 3, 2019 It's great game, can't wait to see multiplayer mode. How much time did you invest in this one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been working on it in my spare time for about 3 years. I'd estimate I've spent about 600 hours on it (about 4 months full time). The track editor is taking waaay more time then I expected, and it's still not finished! I'm really hoping Google App Engine Standard supports websockets soon. Then real time multiplayer will be easy to implement. Otherwise, I'd need to switch over to their flexible environment, and do all the Docker packaging, and boring stuff like that.

Slicks 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2020 The track editor is finally done! It took a lot of coding, so hopefully not too many bugs. 🤓 And there's a new single race mode where you race other peoples tracks. Looking forward to seeing what tracks people make! 😃 https://drift.team/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
