Hi everyone!

I'm excited to finally share the current progress of my solo indie racing game, Asphalt Dreams, built with the Godot Engine.

After months of learning, experimenting, and improving the project, I've reached a point where I'm comfortable calling it Pre-Alpha. There's still a long journey ahead, but I'm happy to finally start sharing the game with the community.

Current Pre-Alpha Features:

• 🚗 10+ drivable vehicles • 🌍 3+ unique environments • 🚦 AI traffic system • 🎨 Vehicle customization (currently in development) • ⚡ Performance optimizations for smoother gameplay • 🛣️ Endless arcade-style traffic racing

This is only the beginning. I still have many features planned, including better AI, improved graphics, additional gameplay mechanics, new vehicles, and plenty of polish before release.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or feedback. Every comment helps me make the game better.

A lot has changed since the last update.

I've added a new desert environment, traffic vehicles, car customization, and spent quite a bit of time optimizing things behind the scenes.

The roads finally feel alive instead of looking like empty test scenes 😂. Seeing traffic drive around while speeding through the desert is starting to feel like the game I originally imagined.

⚡ Performance has also improved quite a bit, reaching around 300 FPS on my Ryzen 3 3200G while driving through traffic.

🎨 I also changed the player car from white to black, which stands out much better against the bright desert environment. There's still plenty left to do, but it's exciting to see everything slowly come together.

And yes, it's been a while since my last update — I've been busy making the game 😂

🔜 Next Up More environments Smarter traffic behavior More polish and world details Main menu and UI improvements
