About 2 months ago Unity unveiled some BOLD NEW PLANS that scared the pants off us small time gamedevs and finally pushed me to start looking into other engines in earnest. I've been tinkering with this thing ever since and now it's DONE. Or at least as done as it's gonna get in this current form. I do have plans to turn this into something bigger at some point, but for now, please enjoy...

DRIVIN' BOBPlayable in-browser. Have fun. Lemme know what you think. If anyone manages to beat this thing I will be VERY IMPRESSED!
So how's Godot?It's alright! I'm not much for following tutorials so I've just been trying to make stuff and then googling for answers whenever I get stuck. And I really just had 2 big roadblocks on my journey making this:
1. The particle system was too limited! HOWEVER they fixed my particular issues with it in the latest 4.2 beta.
2. The input system caused buttons to get "stuck" in the WebGL version, so I had to cut gamepad-support and rewrite a chunk of code to get this playing well in-browser.
Other than that? Yeah, it's fine! I still feel more comfortable in Unity, of course, having used it for nearly a decade. And Unity has done a good job walking back their dumb ideas and regaining trust. But I feel good knowing I have an escape plan, if I ever do wanna jump ship.
Also, in case anyone missed it, this game is kinda a follow-up to my (

Well, I first went to attach the trailer, pressed R on accident, restarted the whole thing. Then I went to load the first cubes on the truck, it went fine, second batch of cubes, I pressed R again, restarted immediately. Third time I managed to make it to second zone before restarting without really meaning to.
R/10 game. Wouldn't R again, though.

Hahaha. Oh man, guess I should've at least made it "Hold R to Restart" to avoid slip ups like that. Thanks for trying tho! :D

Or maybe just "not R" ?? Not in a game where F and E are how you interact with things.
I suggest (N)ew game.

I also just watched a friend play it in person today and he pressed R TWICE in a short amount of time. :sweat: So ok, now it's FIXED! You won't restart unless you REALLY wanna. Also fixed a typo on the page.

Got through two cargo gates, but gave up trying to get the ramp trailer out of its zone. ...Not entirely sure if I was even supposed to be doing that...

Beat the first zone. Immediately drove off a cliff. Just like real life. 10/10 sim of the year.
