I've decided to turn development towards making a little "remaster" of Lego Racers 1.
Racing around cartoony tracks shooting cannon balls at other brick built karts, pretty fun stuff.
A bunch of work lately has been UI related and thinking of how the menus should look and feel.
More work has also went into the kart/vehicle physics and feeling, there's still work to be done, but they're getting better.

More work went into AI as well. They actually have a very small brain now! They're just smart enough to drive in reverse if stuck, and to follow a given course.
Currently they are insanely good drivers, too good, they're very difficult to pass, let alone beat in a race. Gotta make em a bit dumber. https://streamable.com/q5r10

Lots of other stuff has gotten work done, such as basic HUD elements, sounds, particles, a simple test-track "ripped from LR1" and more.
I also quickly added a screenshot camera last night courtesy of Garry Newman, which allows you to take some super cool screenshots ingame.
If ya wanna keep up to date further on this project, I've made a Discord server where I'll be posting development info and taking suggestions, feedback, etc.
