Hey guys,

So I finished college for the year and wanted to share the two games I made. I'm doing a 3 year game design diploma. One is an Android game and one is a car game, naturally. First thing I learned was how to make a car and how to code the physics involved in doing so. It's still not perfect and the wheel colliders are notoriously buggy in Unity but I'm delighted with how it turned out in the end. I designed the User Interface, all of the menus and did all of the coding and designed levels 1, 5 and 9. The other three lads on the team designed the rest of the levels and a couple of little scripting events.

The other game I managed to get published on the google play store yesterday. It's a cool little Android game I made for my father to satisfy his mouse clicking obsession. It's a time attack based game and has online leaderboards for each level and everything. Needless to say both games are heavily inspired by my fav game Trackmania, from the level selects to the best time and leaderboard mechanics. Well hope to see some yiz on the leaderboards.

Thx for giving them a try if you did and please bear in mind I'm still a student and not a professional game developer by any standards.

Nice job you did there. The racing game kind of reminds me about tm lol maps I never manage to drive them properly, exactly as your game. But it is very much fun and the other one for android looks nice too

hey thx for the feedback man. Yeah we had originally tried to create little RPG style maps but it ended up being more like crazy lol maps, both of which I'm a big fan. It's great having the Nadeo blocks to just position anywhere you want but it's a whole other ball game making them from scratch. learned tons doing this project.

Just tried that Hit hit game. Fun game concept all in all, surely fun to play when being bored
Although the menus were pretty messed up on my Galaxy S4, the buttons were insanely small for some reason - was like a lottery to hit the "play" button :p

Would be nice to see a fix for that :p

Hi Accel. thx for the feedback, much appreciated . I think it's like that because you have an uber high resolution set on your phone. One of the phones I tested with had a high resolution also and the buttons were small but still very manageable. wow but that pic you posted is extreme. I've no clue how to accomodate screen resolutions with unity. Usually you can set it before the game runs but with phones and all the different sizes and resolutions it's nearly impossible to get it right for them all. however I'm going to look into a fix for this. Thx again ^_^

Pretty sure I fixed that button scaling issue. There was no clear way of doing it on the unity forums but I came up with a way of setting the resolution and ignoring the rsolution on any given device. It's the same on my two test phone which have differing resolutions. So hopefully you'll be able to use the menu buttons with ease now.

So far there's 14 players active on the leaderboards. You must be logged into google play before you can post your best times to any of the leaderboards. After you enter your name on the new rec scene for any level. Go to the leaderboard menu and hit whichever one you want to post a time to and then hit public to see your worldwide ranking. My rec on 1A is .23.
