[@RodrigoBargao]

Hey man I just landed in your channel and I have to say I'm really impressed by your work. The game is looking really good and a have a couple minor things to say being them that first jump when you go between the rectangle, in my opinion the rectangle could be a little bit higher once the camera moves a lot because of the low topmargin between you and the rectangle. Other thing that i would change is the shadow in the tunnel, it does look really good, it could be just in the video but i sometimes cant distinguish it from the actuall holes. The car looks really nice btw, don't change it :) Finally just want to say I subscribed and will follow that journey of yours and definitely will play the game once you pubblish it. Good luck and keep up the good work!

since it’s a low poly style i think you could make a separate mode/level where it’s a calming, retro styled level where the player can just cruise down the road with some soothing music and some cool visuals/scenery that could be a cool idea

I was super happy to see that your last video did well, glad to see you're able to branch out successfully!

[@jawsomeomg47]

I might be a little late but I really hope you see this. When I first saw the track I thought of a sky scraper. The little hole at the beginning could be you flying threw a broken window. The tube could be supported by the crane, and the jumps could be you jumping from different levels of the building. I know it will be hard but I bet you can do it.

[@raze4555]

it looks so damn good, i love the progress you already made, i'd love to see more complicated stunts like let's say a 270 degree barrel roll into a sideways wall, or the tunnel but it's missing one side and you gotta fly over the track, something like this think outside the box man and keep the great work up!

[@thisoneguy7096]

*Ideas I have for the game:* -Loops and wallrides -New surfaces like dirt, ice, etc -Maybe a track editor but that would be very hard to make -An in-game leaderboard to display the best completion times on each track -Types of cars that you can unlock -Bronze, Silver, and Gold medal target times so the player has something to grind towards besides having the top time

[@Csf91]

6:06 the origin point of the model is what makes it spin like that, it is quite easy to solve for symmetrical models. Go to the Layout tab (default one when you open a new/empty project in blender), then right click on the object (the pipe in that case), and then select "Set origin", then you have the option for it based on Volume, or on Surface, depending on the model you'd prefer one over the other. Also, if you scale a model in blender, before exporting it hit Ctrl+A (default control since 2.8+) -> Rotation and scale (you can undo if you want to after the export, it will zero the values so that it spawns in that position and scale by default). I hope this helps, keep up the good work! :D

i find it awesome that you're trying game dev. I hope you continue with it as long as you enjoy it, it's very fun to watch you making a game, as it really shows how dedicated to your channel and also to yourself, to go that extra mile and learn a whole new thing while making good content for your community

[@ByNickX]

For the camera clipping in the car you can set a limit to move the camera, you can add an invisible collission for the camera near the car too

[@l00ksc0uldk1ll]

These videos are some of the most entertaining videos youve ever made. Please make more of theses and make the videos longer. Love you stuff bro keep this up

[@justboy5182]

A suggestion for the radial motion blur: the Team at UE had made a custom material which can be placed on an object, caging the tire in their Matrix demo. I don't rely remember how it worked, but I think it gets the airspeed and multiplies the blur by that amount or smthg. You can just look it up tho, I think they explained it on their official channel. The camera clipping into the car can be easily fixed, you just have to restrict the distance of the spring arm, so that the camera can be close to the car, but not in the car. Hope this helps.

[@Mister8Moon]

Seeing you optimize BEFORE things become an issue is actually REALLY awesome!

[@allanbru6068]

That's a great video!!! I was trying to create a racing game myself but I got stuck in the simple collision part, I couldn't figure out why my car was coming to a stop all of a sudden. That's amazing to see it solved and now I'm hyped to revisit my old project and continue developing it! Thanks a lot for showing us this dev log, cheers!!

[@christophermc2]

OMFG LFG WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW AWESOME A PART 2 WOULD BE I LOVE IT!!!

[@masterforgames5210]

you should add proper speed meter with indicator of a gear it will make the interface look really better

[@jowsey]

This is the first video from you I've seen and as a game programmer it's been super cool seeing someone completely new to development being able to make something this clean from scratch

[@aksoyarda]

I also made many racing games using the unreal engine and if you really want to use motion blur: - Don't use the "mesh space ref pose -> wheel controller -> component to local -> output" - Instead, use a custom animation by the variable you define just like forza horizon games do (you can see that after a given speed, wheels instantly change into a super-fast version! P.S. = I believe they use a special shader for that but anyways 👍

[@aksoyarda]

There are 500 comments 😱

[@aksoyarda]

And also: In the spring arm details (the camera boom) please disable inherit roll. It looks and feels better if it is slow or none. If you haven't done yet, adding a camera lag (for rotation only because in high velocities, the lag actually lags but in a bad way for some reason) will increase feeling.

[@xavmanisdabestest]

Amazing stuff man! Really enjoying your game making journey. One piece of advice I would give you is with development reusing stuff is key. for example having that tunnel and the obstacles in it as separate and combining them in engine would mean making custom tunnels easier in the future or if you wanted those red obstacles in other places too.

[@florianschmoldt8659]

Looks fantastic. You could probably limit the distance the camera can get near the car globally instead of trying to solve the cam/wheel clipping issue. ...and you would somehow have to exclude the wheels from regular motion blur to use the asset store custom one. Maybe there's a way but I gave up on that and blend to a "fake pre blurred" wheel that's barely spinning.

[@bkr.studio]

something you should consider down the road is being able to host matches and make custom maps. i know that's far away from where you are now but i think a tackmania style game running on UE5 is something a good chunk of people want. love the progress! Great work!

[@LiquidMark]

yooo epic job dude, this series is giving you a lot of views!

[@Beck7312]

I love the content something cool you might be able to add is a replay mode.

[@kopanomojapelo1938]

I think it would be really cool for you to add some "slipage" or some "happytailage" to the car so it can be less of an arcade type racer, to more of a game that actually requires some skill to drive the car to its limits without losing time on corners or stuff like that. I think it would be really cool to make the direction of this game to be able to be speedrun... like Trackmania, I feel like it being able to be speedrun will add to the overall longevity of the game rather than it being just another YTber game that gets forgotten in a couple months. Just my two cents...👌👌 Game is looking good so far BTW.

[@tomsterbg8130]

I've been developing in Roblox Studio for 5 years due to having a low end laptop and just decided to start using UE5 with a better laptop. What you did with this game as a first time is going to take at least a week or two in Roblox and I so don't want to use it. It's absolutely amazing how you optimized the geometry of the spline track and fiddled with the car to optimize it for doing stunts. Very excited to learn more and start creating stuff above and beyond everything I've been making until now.

Ur really good at this! Keep going!

[@tomh6010]

For the camera collision, you probably need to edit the 'trace channels' that it recognises - It's hard to explain specifically what to do, but it starts a default setting to respond/collide with scene components but not actors, so you need to set it to custom and add actors as a blocking channel (as opposed to overlap). You may also need to edit the car body/wheels hitbox too if that doesn't work because collision always prioritises the least blocking action between two objects. Again, great to see your game dev journey!

[@tomh6010]

Side note, for your ghosting issue, try using other AA methods like FXAA - I believe the default is TSR and it still has some bugs. If you avoid the 'temporal' AA methods that use multiple frames to add detail you'll probably find a fix, and your game isn't photo-realistic enough to need anything too advanced. Hope this helps!

Loving these game making videos

[@ThomasCannard]

Really cool way of learning and what you have done is incredible. One thing that would be cool is if the roads were held up with supports and a crowd stands with people watching over to the side of the road as it it was some sort of racing event. Also a good way to make the car feel faster is by adjusting the FOV so when you are going faster the fov is bigger. If you have played minecraft you will know that when you put the FOV to quake pro you feel like you are moving really fast even though nothing is different. Good work I look forward to seeing how the game evolves.

[@rafaelcazarotto7265]

Really cool to see your progress with the game, it's getting amazing. An idea for the game, it could use the multiverse concept, maybe go through some portals and change the whole scenario, I think that greatly increases the possibilities of obstacles. Not to mention the setting would be really cool.

[@Goofiie]

Dudeee, this is awesome, maybe add a drift mode? so you can drift and race depending on what you like:)

[@gbsngaming]

Make a starter menu with the name of the game, a level system, select a car ect. But you unlock a car after every level maybe?

[@airsoftbeast11234]

To help with your centering issue, you want to export your blender model with the positioning relative to the axis. Select all the points in the cross section, move cursor to center of selected objects, and snap it to the axis, this immediately positions your model

[@pr4shantishere]

One thing I will suggest that keep the polygon count as low as you can, like the pipe thing you modelled had a lot of pollygons. You can just create a simple cylinder with 8 polygons and subdivide it. This saves the performance

[@Hazardous]

Yeah I will be focusing on learning that more, kinda like how the track was re-made. Just need to make sure the collisions work properly :)

[@angelwa1fu]

I know it's still early days, but looking at that spinning tunnel made me think, a cyberpunk / TRON styled track would go so hard especially with the look of the car

[@Seea_]

Quick tip, higher F.O.V. makes you fell faster, the things on the edge of the screen pass by much quicker and so you feel that you are going at higher speeds. This may help with the feel of the game

[@n.deb.5711]

I’d love to see a series of the developing process! Keep up the good work!

[@11alekon]

just fyi the easier way to fix the pivot is by placing the pivot where you want it in blender, then ones you export your mesh the pivot will be in the perfect place for you to use.

[@sypard]

i'd love to see some car improvement. maybe something like see-through windows and basic interior work (steering wheel and seats) and maybe some cosmetic options to choose from, like custom colors, wheels and paint jobs

[@ttmayor]

for that weird rotation thing, you can save a lot of time by going into blender, selecting the inner loop with an alt+click and pressing shift+S>cursor to selection, then right click in object mode and hit set origin to 3D cursor. When you re export the origin will be exactly in the middle and you dont have to eyeball it.

[@9worrld]

to give a real sense of speed, you should make the fov increase and decrease accordingly with speed

[@vanderan]

Really liking your obstacle ideas so far! I would recommend making the track just a little wider, just so when more cars are added to the mix, it's not too cramped. This reminds me somewhat of some Hot Wheels and F-Zero games but A LOT of the Speed Racer (2008)'s Fuji Helexicon track. I suggest giving Speed Racer a look for some track inspiration!

[@kaydengough]

Sick trackmania vibes, I think it'd be cool of you added in variations of car models or the ability to customize your cars livery and add different visual changes, nothing performance based cuz I think for a game like this all the cars should perform the same or be standardized across the game. Well done bro will be watching closely

[@AsbjornFK]

In the videos about making your own game it looked like you enjoyed mapping. Even though you've already tried Trackmania i think you should maybe try mapping in the game. It's easy to learn and there's a lot of creative freedom. After you're done with the tracks you could do races and cups on them with viewers live on twitch or make a small prize pool for the person who gets the fastest time on the map after a couple of days.
