I am one of two developers working on Slot Car VR; a new mixed reality racing and building game. I started working on Slot Car in May of 2023 and I am proud to say we launched as an Open Beta in October of 2023. Production of the game is ongoing but the feedback has been great so far.
Due to the small team size, my role was very fluid on any given day. I had the opportunity to work directly on almost every feature and part of the pipeline from game design all the way through to bug fixing and final polish. I took part in prototyping a lot of the key features including the track building, car physics and early networking tests.
In 2023, I had the honour of representing the company at Gamescom, where I showcased the game to publishers as well as other industry members. The response was overwhelmingly positive and it was incredibly rewarding to see people enjoying the multiplayer feature after spending months working on the game.
Moving forward, we are focusing on refining the game experience based on player feedback and expanding the game's features. We're especially excited about developing new track pieces and interactive game elements to enhance player creativity in designing their own race tracks.
Overall, working on Slot Car VR has been a rewarding journey, challenging my skills as a developer and providing an opportunity to contribute to the exciting new field of VR gaming.
