Yard Invaders 2 : experimental prototype

Well, my “Procedural Racer” game has been taxiing for launch for quite a while now – as soon as it’s ready I will be posting here. In the meantime, here’s a video of an experimental gameplay prototype I put together, as a possible sequel to one of my very old 2D shockwave games called “Yard Invaders”.

I tried out a number of new things while putting this together, including:

• Procedurally generated spherical terrain
• Spherical gravity
• Custom grass shader
• Depth of field effects
• Explosion effects (not detonator)
• Intuitive auto-targeting of enemies

Whether this ever makes it to the status of a finished game remains subject to the mysterious tides of fate.
