Intro:Hey guys!
So, I scoured the internet for a really good fan-made Twisted Metal game, but surprisingly you'd be hard-pressed to find any good results. There really aren't any Twisted Metal 2 recreations, which simply stuns me. If you look at other franchises like Sonic, Mario, and Pokemon, etc.-- there's TONS of fan-made games and engines to explore.
So... I decided to try and be the first guy to make a Twisted Metal 2 engine. Behold--
Twisted Engine!Video: Additional Notes:This is SUPER early in development still, but the video should give you a good idea for what I'm going for-- a faithful recreation of Twisted Metal 2 that runs at a glorious 60 FPS/1080p/4K resolution. I plan to make the HUD match TM2, and add 2 more cars and 2 more levels. There is already AI code in there from another game I made a while back, but I have it disabled for now.
If you're curious, I'm using Game Maker Studio 2.3 to make this engine. Snidr is who wrote the system that powers the 3D graphics and 3D collisions, but I am doing the physics, the menu system and asset conversions myself. The models and textures here were actually converted directly from the PC port of Twisted Metal 2.
I plan on adding a lot more things like weapon pickups, different handling for each car, the ability to add your own cars and levels, and a local multiplayer mode (I don't know how to do online multiplayer in GMS unfortunately...
)
Anyway, hope you guys like it, and feel free to give me suggestions for improvements!
