excellent work, it really is a love letter to the PS1 era of Carma' and Twisted Metal, with a bit of Quarantine in there for good measure
the music fits great too, i loved every second of playing.
the twat chasing mission will give me nightmares - i lost sight of him as he ran through the church fence (that i couldnt drive through?) then he started teasing. an indicator (directional sound? arrow?) to where he is would help, but i eventually found him and splattered him. felt good.
upgraded my car, did some missions, and about 30mins in I accidentally hit ESC while in the shop, which closes the game. bummer, i wanted to see it through to the end. i'll give it another go after some other demos, but you're really doing a fantastic job.
my only bit of feedback is that it's hard to tell which terrain is traversable. next to the houses with the tall bushes there's a green dumpster, which i at first thought was another bush or something, and it stopped me dead in my tracks (pun intended). otherwise all is good. perhaps add some stunt ramps or something else to do outside of missions while you're just roaming about.
keep up the great work
