Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. This is my 4th GTA-2 like (I really love the genre) and i'm starting to get better at it (I feel anyway). This did help me for this jam as I could re-use a lot of code from previous attempts and just modify it for this. The car physics has been a pain for me and I think this 2.5d approach feels much better than my previous attempts. I also learned a bunch of new stuff for this Jam (shaders, 2D lights, blend trees etc). Most of this title (first 4 days of the jam) were actually written from a hospital bed (minor op) so I had a LOT of free time for this. I agree with all the points raised and REALLY appreciate the feedback.
