Junkyard Bash

Junkyard Bash is a 1-4 player racing game in a sci-fi junkyard. The game is split-screen and played with controllers. The players take control over one of four different characters and race down a wacky scrappy racetrack while trying to bash the opponents off the map and be the first one to reach the finish line!

This was the first game and group project we had at Futuregames. The game was made in Unreal Engine in two weeks by myself and 8 other design and art students at Futuregames. The guidelines we had were to create a runner game with physics in 2 weeks, and this is how Junkyard Bash was made. My role started off as technical designer, but turned into level designer about one week into the project, including stuff such as designing and making parts of the race track, putting in props, sculpting landscapes, balancing and iteration!

The reason for the role switch was that we greatly underestimated the actual amount of level a racing game needs, as neither of us had made one before.

Again, this was our very first project. If I would have redone it I would have done much higher contrasts and more guiding elements.
