Super Autobahn Highway Rush!

Super Autobahn Highway Rush! will be a car-themed endless runner with many "survival minigame" elements. Inspired by "Turbo Outrun", you pilot a car of your choice on endless highways as you dodge incoming traffic cars-- but not just cars; it gets even more random. You will also try to avoid giant traffic cones, bombs, bananas, and much more! There may also be "boss levels", too. Weather conditions will also change throughout the game, changing the handling of the car with rain.

The game will only allow one player, but others can spectate whoever is chosen to play if the game detects more than one player.

There will be over 20 cars with the possibility of much more being added; the car's speed doesn't change, but some cars will be more handy than others.

Online leaderboards will also be available, so SAHR! will become a very competitive sport on LBP3.
I just began developing this concept alone, and I hope to release SCHR! before the end of the year. If you would like to be part of the project, let me know!
Any questions?

Each car will have one of three unique power-ups that can be used in the game:

Explode - The car releases a shockwave nearly thousands of times as powerful as a sonic boom. Anything close to its radius will explode.
Shield - Protects the car from lethal obstacles with a chaotic forcefield surrounding it.
Emergency - Instantly refuels the car in emergency situations.

Each of these power-ups can be refilled through the repair item that is rewarded to the player randomly.

Funny story actually! Originally, I started out with having +80 cars, but to go easy and all, I limited it to 20 or less xD

This project is still active. Cool! 20 cars still sound like really much. I like the idea and also I like soundtrack.

Hello everyone!
I'm terribly sorry for not releasing any updates between February and now, but the development of this game is still going strong. I'm a little bit lazy though, which is kind of ironic because I'm not really doing much now that it's summer vacation :'D
The release of SCHR may be delayed to 2018 if things don't go well.
Stay tuned!
Also, I might bring in the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger as two new cars for the game! I haven't fully decided yet

If I could, I would make a video of the game in the works, but sadly I have no game capture device and because of my current setup right now, it's impossible to hook it up without drastically changing anything (I'm creating this on the PS3, not the PS4)...

Hello everyone! It's time for a little update on this project.

I'm currently working on the car selection feature of the game, which works a little bit like Need For Speed.

https://prnt.sc/gs5712

http://prntscr.com/gs54kz

The colour of the background changes based on the player's favourite colour, and will also be used as the car's colour in the game. The player's character is also seen facing the car and once the car has been chosen, the character looks at you before disappearing as the car drives away.

You'll notice 4 bars by the car; these are stats. Each car will have their own unique stats which determine how many points you earn, how much damage it can take, how much fuel it consumes, and how fast it moves around the screen. I'll explain more of that later in a future update!

Yes yes! I'm deciding to make it more like Need For Speed Underground 1 though, with the car moving as you select it
Once the car's selected, the camera will zoom out to reveal the gameplay and it'll start from there!

So I wasn't able to get the demo polished in time... I promise you that the project is still alive! I was busy with other things like school, etc. Sorry for the long wait!

The demo will not reflect the final product of Super Car Highway Rush, and it's sort of like an "open beta test".

No problem, big projects need... uh... big time? Long time? Yeah, that's the right word. Well, whatever, I'm looking forward to the Beta.

New update! I am now working on the main menu portion of the game

https://puu.sh/AYeT0/40039bc7db.jpg
https://puu.sh/AYeSW/2d38db8e8f.jpg
https://puu.sh/AYeSS/0b436a09c1.jpg

The dynamic menu changes colour based on your player colour selected in your costume, and will allow you to select your car and your music to listen to, and we have the nice little silhouette of a car next to a palm tree in the background

The menu also uses a cursor, since I don't really know how to make a decent menu using only D-pad controls.

I will provide more updates later this month!

I did watch it. Forgot to comment here.

You're making some progress, that's cool to see. I love the gameplay and menu. The cursor mechanic works really well and it makes the time in the menu enjoyable. Good job!
