@macspeedee.bsky.social made a little scene using the Sascha and some of the pre-war pit objects. Our goal with AoS is to try and capture the atmosphere of racing events back in the day and the small details really help with the immersion. #gamedev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegame #racing #racingsim

put together a little scene using the Sascha and some of the pre-war pit objects. Our goal with AoS is to try and capture the atmosphere of racing events back in the day and I think the small details really help with the immersion. Fortunately all our objects are pretty low poly so that allows us to have lots of them.

It is a level from the C64 Char and Level editor for a game that Thalamus are supposed to be finishing off but have sat on it for nearly 2 years now. We have done all the levels and most of the sprites and full game design, and they have my source code but seem to have given up on it which is shame

Another angle of the Damoiselle from our Racing Game Project Ages of Speed. More at www.instagram.com/macspeedee/ #gamedev #indiegamedev #aviation #racinggame #3dmodel #historicplanes #aircraft

As a break from making cars and tracks I sometimes have weekend projects where I will try my hand at something different to model. It is usually something that has caught my eye and which could be included in the game in some way or another. I saw a painting of this plane by an amazing artist named Chris Bazeley, check him out I love his style, and I had to make our own version.

This is the Santos Dumont Demoiselle which is a fabulous aircraft from the dawn of the aviation age. I just loved the look of this aircraft and how it is made from bamboo, twine and canvas and someone was brave enough to climb aboard and actually fly it.

The Demoiselle was the last aircraft built by Santos-Dumont. He performed flights with it in Paris, and made trips to nearby places. Flights were continued at various times through 1909, including a cross-country flight with stages of about 8 km (5 mi) from St. Cyr to Buc on 13 September 1909, returning the following day, and another on 17 September 1909 of 18 km in 16 min. The aircraft was exhibited on the Clément-Bayard stand at the Paris Aéro Salon in October 1909 and it was announced that a production run of 100 aircraft was planned. However, only 50 were actually built, of which only 15 were sold, at a price of 7,500 francs for each airframe. It was offered with a choice of three engines: Clement 20 hp; Wright 4-cyl 30 hp (Clement-Bayard had the license to manufacture Wright engines); and Clement-Bayard 40 hp designed by Pierre Clerget. It achieved 120 km/h.

Fun fact. The wrist watch as we know it today was invented especially for Santos in order that he could safely check the time without removing his hands from the controls, up until then there were only pocket watches.

A traffic sim I did for our main game project a while back so we could add a little life. Just fun to start it off and add vehicles and see how it copes, might make a fun simple game one day.

A little break from cars and tracks I took some time to model a classic F1 tunnel boat from the 1980s. www.instagram.com/macspeedee/

If you want to race and even design your own speedboats then head to our friends page where he has a sim called Design it, Drive it www.instagram.com/todd_wasson/

Each car has multiple liveries to chose from all based on classic race car liveries of the era.

Might as well put this here as I have it. The 240Z fully loaded with spares for its next stage.

Looks like someone has been having some fun in the Sun. The result of some long dusty stages and I think the 240Z looks even better with a layer of dirt, after all this is what it was made for.

This is the Schkee in the livery that it actually used when it raced. Sony Racevision was a new in car camera that was trialed in this car.
