Midterm Game

This game was a reflection on traffic. Having spent a lot of my life in traffic, often in a large car or RV (as modeled in the game), I decided that this was a topic that could use some exploring. Thus, in this game, players take on the role of a single white bus-sized RV they must navigate through the mess of red cars to get to their exit in the shortest amount of time possible, while letting out their road rage in a very therapeutic way.  Players use standard WASD and mouse controls to drive their RV.

The design process was fairly short. I had a good idea of what I wanted to do and how to go about it and quickly dove into coding systems out. The drive system and procedurally generated traffic were surprisingly easy to to do and were gotten out of the way first. Then I hit a wall with 3D modeling. The first car was easy to do, but the road and RV took a lot more time, and had a lot more points of "Oh, that hole shouldn't be there in that mesh".  It took me more time than I'd estimated, and so I was pushed back in my plans. The most enjoyable part, though, surprisingly, was also modeling. It was incredibly rewarding to see things being pieced back together.
