Developing an off-road RC car simulator: TrophyRC

Hey everyone! I’m working on a new game project called TrophyRC. It’s going to be an off-road RC car simulator with realistic physics and scale environments. I’m really excited about it, but I could use some advice.

Has anyone here worked on a similar project before? I’m wondering about the best approach for handling vehicle physics in a scale environment. Should I use a pre-built physics engine or create my own custom solution?

Also, I’m curious about how to make the terrain feel realistic at RC car scale. Any tips on creating convincing miniature landscapes would be super helpful.

If you have any experience with RC car games or simulators, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance for any input!

Nice idea! For realism, consider camera angles too.

Low angles make everything look huge.

Dust and debris effects would add a lot.

Ever thought about adding jumps or obstacles?

That’s a cool project idea! For physics, a pre-built engine like Bullet could save you time. Terrain is key in RC games. Focus on getting the right bumps and textures to sell the scale. Watching slow-mo RC videos might give you ideas for how the cars actually handle on miniature terrain.

Sounds like a sweet project! I’d probably go with a pre-built physics engine to start. Getting the feel of RC cars right is crucial. Maybe check out some real RC tracks for terrain ideas? Little bumps and divots make a huge difference at that scale.

Sounds like a fun project! For realistic handling, try tweaking gravity and friction values.

Miniature textures are key. Think tiny pebbles, moss, and dust.

Maybe add different surfaces like packed dirt and loose gravel for variety.

That sounds awesome! I’ve played a few RC car games but never developed one. Physics is tricky with small-scale stuff. Maybe check out Bullet or PhysX? They’re pretty versatile.

For the terrain, I’d focus on getting the textures and small details right. Tiny pebbles and cracks make a huge difference. Look at close-up photos of dirt and rocks for inspiration.

Good luck with the project! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
