So I have a level for my driving game here its like you drive down hill levels and avoid obstacles and this is level 1 and I have the basic obstacles I need for a first level but it looks kinda boring and I wanted to know if anyone had suggestions to make it feel maybe a bit more colorful and interesting
It would also help if it was something I could add to all future levels so its not just a bunch of boring levels
This is level 1:
Maybe a different skybox, some buildings, some small hills when you drive down the hill (like bumps) and trees.
Yeah it looks too bland so far, I would take inspiration from speed run 4 and make each map a theme based off of the obstacles, and yes, add different backgrounds and map decorations
idk if i want a whole different theme like speedrun has but I will add another sky and what kinda map decorations would work cause that’s whats hard for me I know it needs decorations but idk what decorations it needs
you want the player to be scared to fall of the map to add lava, water, or space below. and add a few other decorative hills and things sticking out of the water
Oh I forgot to say the player doesn’t fall off the map the car gets damaged by the obstacles and each level has more difficult and more obstacles and you have to try to finish the level without damaging your car completely (destroying it)
Maybe you could add some houses to crash into ( Maybe make them fall apart for funs ) Ooh what about a river that changes your direction based on the flow? Also just a thought you could possibly have a mine that leads down into a bonus level with jewels and tnt and minecarts. Just a thought though.
P.S. maybe to make your game more enjoyable make fun penalties for crashing like then house falling apart or if you fully crash making the car explode launching everything everywhere. For a game like this if too many penalties get in the way of the game it can possibly make it seem less fun. Adding a bit of humor to fails might help.
yeah maybe i can do stuff like that to decorate the levels more
My idea i think is to maybe add trees not sure but maybe make the grass color a little brighter as it looks a little dark maybe make the finish line have some cool stuff and add color to the levels so maybe traffic cones but I can add even more colorful obstacles to the harder levels cause I wanna keep the first few simpler and I can scatter the obstacles around more I think ill do that tomorrow and I can send a picture of how it looks
yeah since its just crashing and damaging the car it might get hard but it could also be fun but maybe to make it more fun if you like fully damage the car and you have to restart it will have like a random message but it would be something funny so if you get a lot of penalties and damage it might make it more enjoyable to have a funny message appear and I think fun crash sounds could make it better too
I think a balance of like difficulty and penalties so people grind on the game and like a fun aspect so like driving the car and the effects and sounds and that stuff would make the game enjoyable for a lot more people
Exactly! There’s a game, I don’t know if you’ve played it, it’s called sledding simulator and yeah it’s a simulator but you get money they farther you go. The more you hit things the more your sled falls apart and it’s quite enjoyable to grind because it’s hilarious to see how fast you can go and watch your sled crash to pieces!
