Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving

Posted by timothy on from the this-looks-fun dept.

An anonymous reader points out a project called Drivey, which he describes as "a dark and fascinating example of 2.xD [not quite 3d] graphical rendering. This tiny, free [as in beer] demo gives you an amazingly compelling driving experience. To quote the author, 'It was conceived as a driving simulator for old farts like myself, who are kind of nostalgic for the "old days" [ca. 1985] but are not so thick as to believe that the games from the 80s were actually in any way superior to the games we play today.' Even works fine under WINE!"

    You are right. I havent played those prior art games.
    And i feel about zero.zerozero urge to ever do.
    I actually _like_ seeing stuff while driving. Like the road more then 20m ahead (which this demo even doesnt, because the tarmac is always rgb 000000. Strange.

    calling a game with low-spec graphics, rubbish, is like saying Impressionists couldn't paint.
    ... not they just gave people the impression that they couldn't paint. :P

    "... but what is it supposed to be? I can never understand this art-thing."
