Dark Driver Proof of Concept Videos

Dark Driver is a VR driving adventure game.

This proof of concept was created mainly to test the unique art style of Dark Driver. Only lights sources and things that are illuminated from within, such as windows and signs, are visible through the darkness.

Your headlights will illuminate the road in front of you, more so than shown in these videos. Other objects that would be illuminated externally will generally not be shown, though there may be exceptions.

The use of simple assets to create a large game world allows the game to run at a high frame rate on modest equipment, and makes world building relatively easy.

Dark Driver Houses

Here are a couple of quick construction shots of some of the houses that will populate Dark Driver's neighborhoods.

Some may appear to be a bit misshapen; this is because within the game, only the silhouette will be relevant (including the silhouette against their own windows, hence the relatively detailed porches).

Many of these will get further optimization. They currently range from 32 to 186 tris.

Dark Driver VR Demo

A Dark Driver VR demo can be downloaded here:

This is a very early proof of concept demo.

Controls are minimal here:
-Arrows to steer
-Tap LeftCtrl to accelerate
-Tap Space to decelerate

This is an old DK1 demo. I'll get a DK2 version up soon.

Dark Driver is VR

Dark Driver™ is a VR game.

Other Dark Driver games may appear in the future for traditional platforms. But Dark Driver, the game now under development, is 100% VR.

The game's expansive, realistic, minimalist environment is simply perfect for VR: high immersion, high framerate.

Dark Driver's game world covers about 100 square miles. Explore three towns and many other points of interest, all connected by plenty of dark, lonely highways.

When the baddies inevitably show up, you must engage in strategic battles to set things straight by morning.
