Cheers, it's just a basic walk cycle rendered from every 2°, it then moves to where you click, you can thrown something like that together pretty quickly, it's not complex.

Nice @Socks , how to make the tire trails so nice
Cheers freneticz, it's simply particles, just a bunch of particles spawning, but they have no velocity, so they stay where they are spawned, the only other thing is that their colour is changing from pink to purple (and the purple is set to alpha=0, so they fade out as they turn purple), that's really all there is to it, nothing complicated.

Super impressive and so smooth! Quite inspiring
Actually it's a lot smoother than the QuickTime movie shows, there's a few little glitches in there, having GameSalad preview a project while Quicktime is recording video and audio always produces a few little stutters and glitches for me, but obviously when you aren't asking your computer to record high resolution video at 60fps at the same time as having GameSalad do its 60fps stuff as well - then everything works fine !!
Funny enough I started a game just like this, a side scrolling thing, a character fleeing a city in the aftermath of an alien invasion, but he was running rather than driving.
Yeah, my test device is an iPad3, Apple's first Retina iPad and suprisingly the iPad3 is actually fractionally less powerful than an iPad2, and an iPad2 is not that much more powerful than an iPad1 (and the iPad1/2 would be using the lower resolution RI assets) . . . it wasn't until the iPad4 that the power of iPads really started to lift off (the 4 is much more powerful than the 2/3) - everything runs at 60fps just fine even on these older devices.
In fact there is really very little going on in the scene, in the example movie I have just a few actors in the scene, for example the all black and white posts in the scene are a single 32x128 png like this . . . .
. . . this is then replicated upwards (using Replicate) to form the post, and then that post is replicated sideways to create a row of posts, so not only are the art assets pretty small but even seemingly involved set-ups are often made up from only 1 or 2 actors.
So basically, there's not really a lot going on from the processor's perspective.

Just for you (attached)
Thanks @Socks! Now we are getting somewhere! A WIP to look forward too!
Get out! Thats amazing.
Nice @Socks , how to make the tire trails so nice
Really amazing work, if you didn't post that in a GS forum no one would believe it came out of GS.
Whats this now, like 5 years of GameSalad now and you're finally committing to a game? Excellent stuff, i'll be paying attention to this thread
Looking amazing, but I'd expect nothing less from you!
this is amazing! awesome job as always. looking forward to see more
I've often thought "if socks made a game what a game it would be!"
Amazing not only for GS but as a game!!
Mind blowing.
But honestly not surprised.
Thanks for sharing.

Man escaping the suburbs during an alien invasion?
I know seeing is believing but I dont believe what I just saw!!! That is amazing @Socks !!!!
Wow wow wow!
Is the game smooth on the ios device as well?
What the...

Cheers Jamie !
I'm actually working on a few games at the same time, hopefully I can actually manage to get something out eventually !!
Cheers Armelline, as you well know it's all AAA
*sin(BBB)+CCC*.(*not even joking)
Cheers Timo, Hopefully I can upload more stuff soon, in fact I might follow in the footsteps of other WIP threads and post some early tests ?
Cheers for the kind words Toque !

Cheers Braydon !!
Omg this looks amazing, I expected something great and you still over delivered!!!
@Socks And everyone here can agree that it's about time you put together a WIP, you wicked genius.
Cool as heck. Now make them fight to the imperial march of Star Wars or something!
Awesome *1000000
