this game actually sucks balls, first racing game or not you are at least a LITTLE experienced in developing a game.
car drives like someone pissed on my wheels and filled them up with liquid nitrogen, glitches galore, but NOOOO haha funny THICC UR MOM MILK!!!! LMAO!!! quit pandering to reddit twinks and learn how to make games
when people are breaking your game to beat it you have a problem
So, most AAA games are bad? Speedrunners and casuals alike use glitches to progress. That's Just a fact of gaming. Its a difficult game, maybe not intentionally, but it is. It is intended to kinda suck, its Dani, what'd you expect? You cant expect one guy to make a perfect racing game on his first try within a few months.
he still knows how to make games though, karlson is his first fps game and hey, thats a pretty damn fun game. he should have some experience from that, but this game shows none of that. its a bad game, first try or not. and just because its intended to be bad doesnt mean i dont get to call it shit. a bad game gets to be called a bad game, otherwise the makers of said game dont receive any criticism and keep making bad games. and even if it was dani, he could still put more effort into it instead of opting for a barebones uncontrollable mess of a game.
You can call it bad. I would call it bad. It IS bad. But that shouldn't be an insult. It should be the preface to REAL criticism. I don't know the first thing about game design, and if you do, actually help by giving ideas to make it better. This game sucks and is wildly difficult, but I don't hate it. You're just stooping to everyone else's level but just blindly calling it names and saying its bad. And again, you are right "intended to be bad =/= free from being called bad" but if its intended to be bad, That isn't a criticism. Youre calling it what it is, but with a nasty tone on it. You COULD have said "Wow this game kinda sucks. The controls are really bad and its a super hard game. Maybe Dani could've done x, x and x to make it better."
But, Then again, do you know anything about game design? You haven't uploaded any games to itch.io, so if you do, and think you could make something better, id love to see and play it. But until you are a game designer, don't just yell at people for having bad games that were made in the span of a few months (or weeks, we don't know how long he was working on the video and the game)
id call myself a game designer, seeing as im working on one right now, although i moreso compose/draw for it than design it. if you want a real review, then dani should...
1. fix the driving, way too slippery and is almost impossible to keep yourself on track
2. quit filling the games with memes or in-jokes, they weren't funny then they arent now
3. fix the difficulty, easy is still borderline unplayable
4. get better presentation
5. PLEASE stop getting the same guy to do the same music, his style is immensely noticeable
so even with criticism i have the same feelings about it, i think it sucks balls
Alright yeah I wrote a whole response to this and accidentally deleted it so here's the short version:
1. Yeah The driving and difficulty is impossible, pls fix Dani
2. Most of these aren't criticisms, they're opinions. Dani doesn't make "serious" games. It seems like he makes these games for himself and his viewers, of course they all the the memes and jokes and stuff. You clearly have a different sense of humor, and that's okay. I like the presentation, minimalism is cool to me. Quantity ≠ Quality. As to the music, I love Evan king's music, and if i was friends with him like Dani is, I would ask him to make music for my games too. But again, driving sucks.
God damn thats harsh. Its a pretty good game you just gotta use a controller and practice a bit. Most fun ive had with a racing game since project cars 2. It has it's issues and the physics arent perfect but thats kinda part of the charm. Didn't have to break the game to beat it btw, but to beat danis godlike times you need to use the shortcuts that he built in.
TL;DR: GIT GUD!!!!
