The van is definitely getting its own mission
Added brake lights and wheel animation to it as well.

Testing rain on Amiga

I do my daily development on Linux, so now it's time to see how it holds up on Amiga. Still very much WIP, but it works as expected!

@PLAION_ES Mi Commodore A1200 necesita un retrobriting, es amarillo pollo. Estará muy claro quién es quién

[Spirit of Eternal Racer @SpiritOfRacer]

@TopoWeaverIO It feels fast and a bit scary 😄

[Spirit of Eternal Racer @SpiritOfRacer]

@Blueshunder189 That's the idea, but even for older games from the 80s and 90s.

These are the Traffic Cars

Their job is to get in your way in Story Mode — and they're already tempting me to make them unlockable, even if they're not fully finished yet (no brake lights or wheel animation)

Final update on the tunnel — staying like this for a while

Added the GIMP supernova glow to the lights. The mountain now does horizontal parallax.

Not totally happy with the gradient, but I'm not blitting a sprite just for that

WIP: adding tunnels to Spirit of Eternal Racer

"There is always light at the end of the tunnel." In this case, literally — and I intend to render it properly 😅

And this is what the tunnel looks like right now — I don't think it'll change much, though I'm not fully happy with the mountain at the entrance yet

[Spirit of Eternal Racer @SpiritOfRacer]

Not bad for a first pass, but I think it still needs some work 🤔

Water spray effect using HSV noise in GIMP

I'm trying to get creative with the water, which means adding noise filters and playing with masks until something looks good 😯

@PLAION_ES @PLAION @THEC64_RGL Hice la preorder en cuanto salió. Deseando probarlo... Y ver qué tal va SoER en The A1200

[Spirit of Eternal Racer @SpiritOfRacer]

I think it looks pretty good — and besides, it's always useful to see where your rivals are braking 😏

Using Gimp to add lights to the cars

Looks like a brake light, but according to GIMP's glow effect it's basically a supernova

Spirit of Eternal Racer v0.5.2 is out! 🔧

Mostly Amiga fixes: joystick turning animation and a 60 FPS cap.

Both Linux and Amiga: slightly bigger cars. Small change, better proportions 🏎️
