Dark Road Dash

Inspiration

The actual dark road is inspired by classic computer games, and the idea was to mix mobile games like Temple Run and Crossy Road to give it that nostalgic mobile game feel. The Mysterious City was heavily inspired by the city in Little Nightmares II.

What it does

This game tests your ability to dodge obstacles while still running away from the darkness.

How we built it

At first, I had built it all in a legacy world, but I really wanted to try trimesh, so I decided to create this world, which is my first ever trimesh world.

Challenges we ran into

Since this was my first trimesh world, there was a lot of things that I had to get used to. I love having lighting in my worlds, so I really wanted to see if I could achieve good lighting. Also, for some reason, every time I try to take a video in the world, the audio doesn't pick up in the video!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I really like how you can see the Mysterious City the whole time. It gives it a far away feeling, until you run and eventually get there.

What we learned

I learned that trimesh is definitely not as hard as I was thinking, and that even though this is a competition, I still had a great time creating it and I can’t wait to see the other worlds people have created!

What's next for Dark Road Dash

With more experience in trimesh, I would definitely love to make a sequel. Expanding and world building is something I enjoy to do when it comes to a story, so I would love to build a story around this world!
