about Stay Fast
Stay Fast was my first ever game and was also a student team project game i worked on during my time at Vancouver Film School. we had around 2 months to create this project and so we decided to keep it quite small and simple.
Stay Fast is an arcade racing game where you race through a frozen cyberpunk city to reach a rescue ship awaiting you in the snowy outskirts. avoid your ship freezing over by staying fast! drift around corners, gain nitro, and use your boost to thaw any ice-build up!
the project is made in Unity and features a looping track that changes as you play. additionally there is a time-based score system represented by stars. replay to beat your high score and try to get 3 stars!

want to know more about my role?
who worked on this??
fun facts!
we had issues with player navigation due to the dark and grid-like environment and so we found that using billboards with an emmisive glow as path markers was a good way to guide players
the vehicle the player controls is covered in pixel art stickers which are references to other games and media we liked as a team; however, due to the games camera angle, these are quite hard to spot.
almost all the billboards in the game are references to other games our classmates were making while we made Stay Fast
we originally wanted the players ship to launch off a ramp and jump into the flying rescue ship at the end instead of simply approaching it, but had to cut this due to scope restraints
the vehicle and environment design was inspired by blade runner and f-zero
