Nice, compared you to the original Need for Speeds that's a great compliment! I loved the original Need for Speeds!
I still play TNFS a lot on my 3DO. Was a big inspiration and the lead artist from that game, Markus Tessmann, has been testing The Drive and giving me advice. he even wrote me a custom shader!
Anyway, I thought I'd add the video so people can see it directly on here
Well, game is complete and has been handed over to BulkyPix for testing. If all is well, I'll hand them the full Xcode project and soon after that, they'll be submitting to the various app stores
Now I just have to finish all the marketing assets for them, including a trailer... gotta remember how to edit video again! Haha.

Great! Glad to hear it! Cannot wait to give it a go!
I'm excited because it's the most advanced game I've made. It will possibly be my last, too. I'm finding it impossible to make any money in app development, just too crowded, so gonna have to look for a "real job" soon.
If The Drive isn't a success, I'm gonna shift to making games for Sega Mega Drive, believe it or not! Haha. I figure if I'm gonna just be doing it for a hobby, might as well be on one of my favourite all time consoles
No template providers ripping off my ideas there, either

In other news, publisher has asked me to remove the trailer, so sorry, guys, it has to go. Man, this is all new to me. Lol.
I saw it, it's in my head now, along with the music, it's too late, you can't un-see the seen, I know I'm a target for the publisher now, they'll try and have me whacked, if I don't ever post again it's because they got to me, but I don't care because I . . . . hold on a second, there's someone at the door . . . .

Don't worry, BulkyPix are French, the French aren't violent. They'll just love you to death.

Possibly. Depends on which part of the world you're in
