Work-in-progress simcade racing game.
Chillwave Drive is written in D language using Dagon Engine and Newton Game Dynamics.
The game implements its own raycast car simulator, including the famous Pacejka '94 tyre model. The goal is to create a fun and challenging car game that is not so frustratingly hard to play without a driving wheel. The simulator tries to stay both realistic and easy to control with a gamepad or even just a keyboard.
AI-controlled cars are supported. Fairly accurate and stable path following algorithm is implemented, based on the Pure Pursuit method, as well as basic recovery mode.
The project is still in alpha stage. Car and track selection, game settings and other parts of UI are not implemented yet. Core gameplay and the racing logic are mostly done.
