Obviously still very early days, but this is a very interesting concept. It would be great to explore other reasons for time travelling, like seeing a canyon in the past, then time skipping forward for a bridge to be built for example.
Hope you keep working on this!
Thanks for trying it. Yeah, I had this idea about 4-5 years ago as a racing game based on the movie Back to the Future and specifically that scene at the end of the third movie where the Delorean jumps in time and suddenly the bridge has been built. (I also grew up living on a cul-de-sac that about 40 years earlier was a complete road until the highway came in and cut it in half.) That's ultimately where I want to take this where the road dead ends in one timeline but if you jump times, you can keep driving.
I really liked the idea of changing timelines, I feel like some sound effects and a bit more speed could really add an extra layer. But still pretty cool.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I ended up running out of time due to life events and didn't add sound effects. (I tried adding the voice-over but didn't appear to work.) I agree about the speed; I tried adjusting it but not sure I understood the more "mechanical" aspects of the car controller tutorial I followed. I also think if I had added buildings it would have also added a greater sense of movement too.
Wow a very ambitious project for such a short jam.. Well done..
Thank you for playing it. I tried to get more accomplished but had family visiting and lost most of the final weekend as I tried to keep my wife from getting mad at me for sneaking away to work on it.
