Racing Life
A downloadable game for Windows
About the project
Racing Life is a racing game project, in development since August 2019, made with the Unity game engine.
You will start your carreer in the 1910's, when seatbelts were not a thing, cars struggled to go over 150 km/h, and drivers were closer to gladiators than athletes. Meet various people on the way, make them your friends, or your rivals. Gain some reputation by doing jobs such as delivery man, taxi driver, photograph, and many more.
Then, with the cars you buy, participate in championships and be part of a story that transcends through time. As you progress, years will pass (think of it as a level-up system), granting you the possibility to buy newer cars.
Every in-game decade, the open-world map will evolve so you constantly have to learn new roads! Musics and overall vibe will change too, and you will have to tackle different challenges as well! Of course, you'll also be able to drive the newest cars of the time that feature new technologies which will help you reach the trophy you're looking to get.
The goal is to be the best driver... of all time. Litterally. From the 1910's, until nowadays.
We are currently in a prototype stage, making sure that the basic gameplay mechanics are done well and enjoyed by everyone. We are aiming at arcade style gameplay and exaggerated driving effects, making it simple to learn, but still hard to master.
Each technology that the cars have will grant you effects (airbags can reduce the amount of damage you get on the first big crash of the race; ABS and ESC can make your car easier to drive through corners...).
Each drivetrain (RWD, FWD and AWD) has different properties and drives slightly different as well.
As of writing this, we are currently two people working on the game and we don't want to spend money into the project, because we don't want to force players into paying anything. Especially at the current stage, where it is (still) only a prototype. We currently don't have a release date for the final game, we expect several years of development before the final release.
About this version of the game
We are introducing a new car (well... "new" car): the Ford Model T! This will give you a glimpse of what to expect from the very beginning of the carreer mode!
Also, we've introduced a visual damage system, with a limited "car health". Don't crash too often!!
Finally, we invite you to test your skills in the time trial mode. Share your best times, or your worst fails!
Feedback wanted!
As usual with every version, we would like to get your feedback on the game. You can tell everything on the forums, Discord or via our e-mail (racinglifegame@gmail.com).
Feedback is a gold mine for us developers, and your thoughts from the previous version were really helpful to us, to improve some elements from the previous version!!
Don't forget. In Racing Life, Time is everything.
