This game is looking wonderful. I love how you converted the classic cars instead of making new ones.

My suggestion is making Driver 2, Driv3r and DSF Tanners as well; with Driv3r as the casual character and Driver 2 and DSF versions as a bonus.

Got to say a huge thanks for all this effort in this. Just found out about this project(and Skylabh's) and i'm amazed on how they look. I have downloaded the demo(and the update) and will try them tomorrow(it's 5.30 am now and i kept reading this forum for more than 2 hours going through the decrypt of the driver 2 level file and the rest topics).

I hope you get back and show us more amazing progress of this!

Hi!
I just played this game and I'm delighted. :D Thank you for what you are creating. Maybe in the future you will share this game on the Steam :)
Is this game still being created?

Ok guys, don't make me lock this topic. I don't think this is what you want.
About SOAP, I'm starting to believe that he abandoned the forum.
Most of the regular members we had here have just disappeared. Sometimes i don't get it.

This kind of answer doesn't help in any instance, it's just provocative.
Do you know what SOAP is doing right now? You have no information about the current development of this game.
So please just stop being annoying and wait like everyone else is.
Thanks.

"Being annoying"....pftttt, get real. I've contacted him THREE times, and he replied once 6 months ago saying he'd be back to the forums "soon". I don't know what his definition of soon is.

Glad to read that !

I discovered, just a week ago, an other game (very Driver-like) based on 70's / 80's car chases called : "Car Chase Simulator" ->

You can download the demo here -> http://www.indiedb.com/games/car-chase- ... lator-demo
I think this game is very interesting and can give you some ideas about :

- damage system (moving/loosing parts),
- AI cars in chases,
- handling,
- props and destructibles props,
- music.

Keep up the great work, Soap ! :)

Hello, I'm back!

I've seen this project take a little popularity in the past few days, so I decided to help you guys a little.

I've designed a UI and a Logo for this project, trying to help you guys to design modern and nostalgic Interfaces for the game. The images I've used are from my own portfolio - they come from the Driver 2 tribute series. If u have any questions, please don't hesitate and send them!

Everything was made in Photoshop (The logo was made in Illustrator, tho).

There are two versions - A classic and a modern one. The black and yellow colors have been chosen for the overall UIs as they are the main and best colors for classic cars.

Hope you guys liked it!

P.S: I've designed it with examples of modes, menus and options that I'd love to see in a Driver game. They're not meant to be taken as suggestions (unless you want to), neither you are forced to develop and put them in the mod.

For both versions, the Start menu:

Image


Version 1 - Classic

Image
Image
Image






Version 2 - Modern

Image
Image
Image

And for both versions, there's this HUD. I didn't change the map, it looks pretty good as it is.
