Nicholas Fite - Project Proposal #3

I would like the recreate the 1976 arcade game Night Drive in Unity Engine Version 6. I want to remake the gameplay with steering wheel controls (I have a steering wheel and will make control support as well) and make it look realistic. Like you're driving down a dark dirt road.

[Professor Watkins]

Hmmm. Interesting. My concern here is that you just make a 3D driving game using prebuilt driving mechanics and then just turn all the lights off besides squares on the side of the road. There isn't a lot of mechanics-learning here.

I think if you'd like to do this outside of a game engine, maybe using Python or some other scripting language, this could be approved. But probably not within Unity or Unreal (or any other 3D engine).

[nick_fite]

I can build it with python or even build it as a website, it won’t be realistic tho and be a lot closer to the original.

[Professor Watkins]

Yup. I think close to the original would be more interesting actually. The whole point of the original is that it created the illusion of 3D without actually using 3D rendering technologies.

[nick_fite]

Cool, how bout C with openGL?

[nick_fite]

Without any 3D models, of course

[Professor Watkins]

Sure. C and OpenGL would be great.
