Overview
​
​'Turbo Drift' is a frantic racing game which was made in C++.
​
Drawing inspiration from games such as 'Joe Danger' and 'Trials Fusion', the aim is to reach the finish line in the shortest time possible.
​
Hazards such as mines and lasers affect your vehicle and will make you lose time.
​
Role​
Working in solo, I used this project as an opportunity to explore using C++ in Unreal.
​​​​
This involved a significant amount of research on the format of C++ compared with Blueprint.
​
With the vehicle handling model in place, I was able to focus on the optimising the look and feel, including the 3D models and lighting.​

Outcome​
​​I succeeded in producing a fun C++ game in spite of the very aggressive timescales.
Upon submission, the game was awarded a First with an overall score of 75%.
​​​​
Feedback praised the vehicle handling model and the the in which the game was able to save and share each player's best times.
