about Stay Fast
Stay Fast is an arcade racing game. Race through a frozen cyberpunk city and snowy outskirts to reach your awaiting rescue ship. Avoid your ship freezing over by staying fast! Drift around corners, gain nitro, and use boost to thaw any ice-build up!
Stay Fast was my first ever game and was also a student 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.
the project is made in Unity and features a looping track that changes with each lap. 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 environment and so we found that using billboards with an emmisive glow as path markers was a good way to guide players
the player vehicle 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 and lighting, these are quite hard to spot.
many of 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 very inspired by blade runner and f-zero
