Title: [Game] Twisted Metal Soap
Post by Grand Z. Hopper on 09/08/14 at 14:50:29
Hey guys, I thought you may be interested in a joke-game I made based on Twisted Metal. But not to be understood wrongly, I want to share a short story beforehand.

I am a beginner game developer, and sometimes I do some stuff just for lulz. Like, oh, there's vehicles natively in a physics engine, lets make Twisted Metal. Or, hey, that engine has native multiplayer, lets make Twisted Metal. But, this is a first my non-serious game, that came dangerously close to being self-sufficient, and contain enough gameplay, for not to be embarrassed to show it to people I don't know. And then I stumble upon this forum, surprised that I forgot about it, I remember there was a big site also? What happened to it? How are you doing here?

Basically, yeah, maybe some could find my contribution amusing, not like there's enough car combat on PC anyway. To be clear, game is no longer in development, and comes "as is", though it is playable, and is possible for 100% completion.
Teaser-trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yhg5W-Ss_Y
Original Windows vista (or higher) executable: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13148857/TMSoap.rar
English translation (just overwrite): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13148857/EnglishSoap.rar

The game itself is a sequel to an even earlier inside-jokes, so inner story have some continuity:
Thumper's driver finds himself without recollection of what happened, competes, and upon winning asks for games, and as a prize losts his memory and appears at the beginning again. Outlaw's driver were to rescue him from the game, but upon winning calypso tells him, that he just killed him personally not knowing who Thumper's driver was. The ghost of communism seizes an apc to take over the world, but asks to "return him upon his stolen throne", and calypso just returns apc back to the memorial it was stolen from, locking him within. Driver of drandulet was angry at Calypso for invading his village (even more longer running gag among our group), and upon seeing him explodes his blimp with suicide vest.

Looks pretty interesting for an amature game.

You are awesome man, this is very playable. I just played this for a couple hours.
I don't know why no one's putting more attention to this, as this could be the origin of a fan made Twisted Metal. Of course there are some tweaks that need to be made like the driving, wich should be more like TM2 and less like TM3. And for example, the homings should be slower so they can be more dodgeable.
Sadly I have no knowledge of programming and stuff so I can't help. But I'll be playing it.  :D

I really like the idea but man that camera just kills it for me.

Also dont like that you cant choose weapons while driving which makes it a harder time during intense momments.

Fix the camera and its sudenly a great game.

err, weapons are chosen via mousewheel, and what exactly is wrong with the camera?

Playing on my latop so no mouse for me.

The camera moves out of focus too many times that makes enemies dissapear from you line of sight.

Maybe make it so like a POV from the sky (Like in TM 1&2).
