Hey y'all,
after spending some time away from the office at GDC and PAX, we're finally back and ready to do some gamedev. The engineers are hard at work implementing some of the new game design, and the network code, so right now is the perfect time to do some menu stuff.
So, here's a mock-up of our new main menu.
The idea is that as players join your party, their cars pop up in the background – whether they've joined local or online. Note that nothing is final yet, especially not the background. There will be a lot more happening around the vehicles, this is just placeholder artwork, to give an idea of necessary content.
Also, our artist Valerij is working on re-doing the vehicles. Right now, the monster truck is getting overhauled. Here's a work in progress:
The old one (you can still see that in the menu screenshot) had some technical flaws, and doesn't fit well enough with the new design.
What do you think? Like it? Hate it?
Anything you'd like to see, that we missed?
Take care,
Steve

Co-Op Multiplayer Goodness
- Play local face-to-face couch co-op, with your best frenemy! Don't have two controllers? No worries, one keyboard and one mouse serves two players! Don't have keyboard and mouse? Well, that's weird. (Warning: Can't Drive This may cause you to erratically scream at your friend.)
- Or, if you don't have actual real-life friends, find some random internet-person to play! That's right, we've got cross-platform online multiplayer! Experience the joy of playing Can't Drive This without that annoying smelly friend next to you. You know who I'm talking about.
Customization!
Where's the fun in online multiplayer if there's no customization, you ask? You're very correct, which is why Can't Drive This features a gazillion* unlockable parts and a vehicle editor so you can show off your awesomeness to everybody on the interweb! But as we all know, only one player gets to drive a car at a time. The other player builds the track. That's why we also included a track editor! Create your custom track and have your friends race on a gold-plated yellow brick road, if you so wish!Feature List

*Not actually a gazillion parts. Not actually sure if gazillion is even a real number.
