NotOutrun has a new name! Watch this video for a compilation of clips showing the game's progress, as well as a reveal of the new name. We're demoing this exciting new Jaguar title at this weekend's Portland Retro Gaming Expo!
 
 

Cool - at least we know we'll see a demo of one new Jag game at PRGE :)  Can it be finished in 40 minutes?

Oh nice, I didn't realize this was being actively worked on. I think it got confused with another similar demo in my mind, it was like a static image of a car that moved left and right over a Mode 7-like highway. There wasn't any actual gameplay, it was just showing off the Mode 7-like graphics. Am I thinking of a super early version of this or something else entirely?

 

Anyway, it's cool to see stuff like this. Jaguar seems to excel at 2D games that make use of scaling graphics a la Space Harrier, as seen in Super Burnout. I always wondered why there weren't more of those games. I understand that at the time Atari was pushing developers to make games that showed off the console's 3D capabilities, but why haven't more aftermarket homebrew games been made in this style? I haven't a clue how one would program the physics/gameplay side of a game like that, maybe that's an issue.

Thanks everyone :)

 

Hope you enjoy having a go at PRGE.

 

The main thing I'm currently working on is the car physics. In the PRGE demo version, the car is a little too slippy on the corners. I think I've improved this now but it was too late for the PRGE cut off. 

Likewise, the collisions and how they affect the player are being tweaked to keep the game flowing with less recovery time.

It looks nice, but the car seems like it is skating on ice.  Some sort of algorithm to create a little 'friction' would help.
