A jet ski game.

Dive



Do Tricks



Shoot Waves



The project started as a fanciful idea I had one day. What if a version of Wave Race 64 had been made for the Virtual Boy? I thought Wave Race would look great in black and red, so I set about making it! This is what I had after about a month of part time work on it...







The look, the physics, the feel, everything has changed quite a bit since the "virtual boy" version I initially made. I've now been working on this for about 4 months. I think I've recreated Wave Race fairly well, but now I want to start adding and creating an original game that goes farther in imagination, scope, and mechanics than Wave Race (64 or Blue Storm) ever did. The goal is to do a Kickstarter and eventually release on Steam / PS4 / Vita. Of course I've still got a lot of work to do before I'm ready for Kickstarter. Wanted to post here before and see what other devs think.

I actually made another wave based game previously. It was called "Earthdiver" and it was the first game I ever programmed, but I never finished it. Take a look http://www.edwon.tv/#/earthdiver/

Now it's time to give it another shot. I have a feeling this goofy remake of wave race will evolve into something more like Earthdiver before I'm done.

The plan right now is to have several modes, some multiplayer, some single.

Race Mode - just like the classic!
Stunt Mode - also in the original
Explore Mode - do what you want!
Spirit Mode - a metroidvania-ish mode
Survival Mode - similar to survival mode in Distance
Battle Mode - shoot waves at each other

I'm new to Tig Source. Be kind! But I want to hear real feedback. What do you think?

Wave Race on Acid!

Good luck, it looks great! The Wave Race games are some of my favourite games ever!

Don't think I ever played Wave Race 64, but this does look neat. Feel like those colors could use a little tweaking though, because it all kind of runs together right now. Perhaps more contrast is what I'm getting at. Still, great work.

[edwon]

Yeah I definitely agree, colors need some tweaking. I've got a lot of work to do on the visual side of things. Right now I want to focus mainly on getting the feel and gameplay nailed down though.

please have the option for virtual boy graphism too or bonus stage

[edwon]

Thanks JIMBERT! Yay subscriber! I will definitely have virtual boy option in there, perhaps as a secret level or unlockable. I think it's pretty rad personally.

I've also experimented with Oculus Rift support, which is actually surprisingly awesome and didn't make me sick as long as I kept the framerate up and the camera nice and smooth.

PS I'm new to tig, any advice on how to be an good citizen is appreciated

I like the shooting waves mechanic, seems like it would require careful timing.
