Podracer (RavStark)

Start your engines and pilot a podracer !

Podracer VR is a solo developping prototype inspired by Star wars episode I Racer.

Choose your podracer, choose your track and compete with AI for the first place in virtual reality.

This game is still in development, for now it contains a simple track and two podracers for testing.

It contains two play modes, the "realistic" which is the full motion of the podracer and the arcade mode to help people  with motion sickness.

It may have a lot of issues but any feedback on the game is really welcome and can help to orient the future development.

WARNING: Since the last openxr update on Unity, the oculus devices seem to lag on the steamVR platform. I don't recommand to use steamVR if you are owning an oculus headset. I will push a fix when it's available or if I find a workaround.

Known issues:

• Weird AI behavior
• Weird collision feeling
• Loading screen can blink with Steamvr
• Podracer may fligh too high after taking a bump
• Can be stuck in environment (and have no way to unlock yourself, go back to main menu)
• Can be stuck on ground after a respawn
• Some dynamic lights are wrong (the podracer become black where it shouldn't)
• And probably many more

Future developments:

• New race track
• New podracer
• Damage engines when reaching the booster limit instead of cutting off the acceleration
• Better sounds design
• Improve cockpit visual
• Improve podracer animation
• Add and improve VFX
• Multiplayer prototype
