SPEEDCAT

SPEEDCAT has been my "pet" project for the past 2.5 years. It started as an experiment for myself to learn more about how to detect and resolve 2d collisions. When I started, I didn't realize I'd be finishing the entire game!

I've taken my time on this game. Whenever I felt like my heart was in it, I'd put some work into the game, and whenever I was feeling burnt out, I took a break! So while it's taken longer to develop than the average development time for a game this size, I feel like this game is the culmination of all I've learned thus far in game development!

Here's a look at the first three levels ever developed for SPEEDCAT! While they have remained largely the same, this was the first real look at what this game was becoming. Playing on stream?

Do you want to play SPEEDCAT on stream or in a YouTube video? Go right ahead! Use #SPEEDCAT for your go-live or video announcements on Twitter so we can find your work! Also, don't be shy about joining the Discord... it's a great place to share your SPEEDCAT strategies, discuss game development, and more!
