Thumb Up for MiniOne Racing.

We need one of your thumb for MiniOne Racing!

Once again, we decided to enter the Intel Game Demo contest, with MiniOne Racing.
We won the contest last year, but this year, it's going to be more difficult : there are much more games, the quality is higher and ... we forgot to update our entry before before the final day!

Netherless, I invite everybody to take a look at this first gameplayvideo and the following screenshots, and then vote here.

Looks cool! But why do you let the tanks go through each other?

No collision between vehicles gives a more smooth gameplay experience.
Vehicles collisions is also a bit tricky in TGE.

Are you think about putting in Multiplayer/ Split screen in this version?

There already is multiplayer games (LAN + net).
We worked on split screen years ago but we had technical difficulties (if I remember right the second player did not move if the main camera wasn't looking at him + more issues...)
