I’ve decided to switch to wordpress for my website and dev blog. This tumblr site will stay up but will not be updated. http://leegamestudios.wordpress.com/

I missed out a dev log last week because I had a week full of mock exams and got nothing done. I now have two weeks off school to haul arse and hopefully get tonnes done.
I’ve started to add lighting using the Tlighting engine however for some reason lights won’t stay of the correct place, so I’ve posted in the Tlighting topic and will hopefully get it fixed soon. I have also made a new track set as you will see from the screenshots, the only disadvantage is I had to remove any diagonal pieces due my new track set behaves awkwardly with diagonals connecting.
To-do for the next week/two
- Fix lighting issues.
- Add several new tracks.
- Re-do AI to allow them to use weapons.
- Switch from Tumblr to WordPress.
- Start to create the options menu.

Change Log
- Added Endurance mode
- Added Endurance Craft
- Added Repair pad
- Changed colour of the weapon pad to purple
- Added a Dynamic Camera
- Added Screen Shake
Endurance Mode
You begin the race at the lowest speed class and every lap you complete your top speed increases, the race is over when your craft is destroyed. I choose to make everything in a black and white style to emphasise the difference and still have bright banners as contrast.
