Hi!

I have played a game known as Jalopy and i really loved it! I just love the road trip part. My question is, how would i make a road trip game like Jalopy? And are there any tutorials on how to?

That’s a really advanced game probably made by a team of people who were modeling and programming. Start small with the learn section tutorials and work your way up. The scope of that game, though, is probably too large for an indie developer. You would have to narrow it down some or find a team to work on it.

Ah, okay. But like i would like to work on stuff such as cars, the speedometer etc. ANy ideas for that?

I dont think that anyone would be able to answer, a tutorial would be like making the game itself. You will need to figure it out on yourself. Instead of asking on how to make the whole game start small and ask small questions. I would really like to help but this is just to big of a question.

Look for tuts and YT channels that could help you get there, my recommendation: instead of doing the exercise or coping what you learn, try to apply it to this game.

I kind of went through picking a certain genre of game and trying to learn up to what I was thinking about. The trouble is you skip too many things, and you lose interest once you see what’s involved. There’s things like game managers, etc, that don’t come to mind. You really have to start with the basics and design simple games from what you learn. Otherwise you’ll get so far and find out you have a huge mess on your hands because you just weren’t ready to do that size of game. Start in the learn section, do those tutorials. Write small games from what you learn. Then decide where to go, but generally, it will be a slightly larger game. Cars are physics, so start with roll a ball. Do the tanks tutorial, and do tutorials maybe in 2d or whatever, because you will always be learning practical knowledge about game design. Experiment, but don’t decide on a major game just yet.

Yes! There are tons of great tutorials on Youtube for cars and racing and driving in Unity3D, and you can get ALL the assets you need for free off the Unity asset store, or often there are links right there in the video notes.
