Aero Rush

Bachelor of Design Game Design Retro Unity Engine Play

Jet through a retro stylised cyberpunk future at breakneck speeds in Aero Rush. This arcade racing game will push players to the edge of control as they challenge trash talking racers to become the best.

This solo project was an exploration into how I could evoke players nostalgia for video games through visual stylisation and so my main focus was to emulate and recreate the visuals of 2000's games from consoles such as the Playstation 1 and 2. I achieved this through techniques such as vertex lighting, quantization, and low poly models and am pleased with the final result as many players have commented positively on the look of the game.

This project was an amazing journey in which I learnt many valuable skills and made me produce a game that is both super fun to play, and answers the question I set.
