carbuilder2d

use metal beams, suspension, engines and a driver to construct a 2d soapbox car.

very early in development

carbuilder2d uses  custom springphysics to link many connections together to form a unified mechanism, by designing a car with geometrical stability in mind you can create suspension mechanisms to smoothly traverse the bumpy track or make complex simulations of linkage based machines.

gameplay(PLEASE READ):

lots of glitches so don't expect it to run completely smoothly

example gameplay: open game, press play, select a profile, select a level, create a vehicle by dragging various beams and linkages together at their corners, press drive, drive car, when you run out of fuel the round will end and you will be paid according to the performance of your round.

if there are GLITCHES in the editor pressing ctrl while dragging the mouse usually fixes it, there is NO AUTOSAVE,  in the editor you need to press the save button in the menu. there is a CHEATS button available which allows to continue spending money even if it puts you below zero.  click on at connection and a little upgrade bar should appear at the bottom of the screan, DON'T upgrade past level nine as there is a glitch, the ENGINE must be connected to a wheel/s by a series of beams, upgrade the beam so that it has a CHAIN then the engines power will be transmitted through it.

This project was heavily inspired by existing games such as polybridge, dream car racing and beamng. However I think that this genre of simulation games and usage of softbody physics is not used enough and has a somewhat unique experience 'unlike fps shooters'
