Hex Rally (2021) - Every PC Rally Game
4Hex Rally by Diogo Maya, 2021.
This is a prototype of a rally game, that was in production in 2021. It consists of one driveable car (Lancia Delta) and two modes; a Main Game with a stage you car race as Time Trial or against other cars (as I do here). Plus there's a randomly generated track mode, which I drive second in this video; sometimes it generates tracks that are too difficult to complete, as shown here!
Sound is okay, except the engine revving noise at the start doesn't stop! There is music but I turned it off here. The full game (see here https://diogomaya.itch.io/hexrally) looks like it should have featured 5 separate stages, but only the basic forest one is in this prototype. There are more interesting features listed on that page too, that don't seem to have made it beyond the planning stage.
Handling is fun enough; you just shift high-to-low gear to swing around bends (instead of using a handbrake key). I feel this could have been something fun, but it seems to have died off in 2021.
One last point: the game is locked to Unity's internal 50hz timing rate. You CAN choose a refresh rate in the game, but that simply redraws the screen at your chosen rate, it doesn't make the game any smoother! I had to record this at 100hz plus limit Max Frame Rate to 50 FPS in Nvidia Control Panel, in order to get a recording that wasn't full of jerky, jumpy motion!
