#162It popped up a message saying "Hold shift to increase acceleration". But I got the feeling that I was playing it wrong if I went far above 40 mph, so the shift key seems perfectly useless.
Lovely countryside -- very evocative of winding country roads in the southern or midwestern USA -- but I get stressed out when driving even in a simulation; real world driving is worse, so I'm not feeling the "zen".

#163Earlier quoted context omitted.
You might have GPU acceleration turned off in your browser settings.
This has been an issue for a couple of people, yeah - I mention it in the FAQ but I'll probably make a more obvious warning when I detect a low FPS
It turned out to be a broader issue. Firefox was behaving the same. Reboot didn't work either. There is a setting in window 10 control panel to set choose GPU for selected apps. That worked.

#164This is a lot to ask for but damaging the car would make this into a fantastic game.

#165Teaching the self-driving mode to drift would be pretty cool.
Re: A chill driving game with procedurally generate scenic landscapes
#166Nice! Loved driving around and trying to break the physics. At first I was disappointed you couldn't leave the road until I found you just needed to use more speed + boost. After that I spent all the time driving off-road. I drove backwards at the start and clipped into some geometry, causing the car to gain a ton of vertical velocity and fly high into the air up to the clouds! When it dropped back down it bounced ar…
There are some less hilly areas you can leave the road easily, there's something of an achievement when you manage to careen off a cliff that says "The edge: what did you expect" or something to that effect. To be clear, I did not expect to continue flying through the air like an airplane going through turbulence (which is what happened)

#167Got an achievement for driving off the edge of the terrain. 10/10.

#168I really like this, nice work! Only thing missing for me is police sirens with flashing lights chasing me, on coming traffic, and Limp Bizkit and Bush playing in the background.

#169A small note: 80 miles an hour on windy roads, driving in the middle of the road, is not slow and chill. That's "I want to die" fast and reckless... maybe have two autodrive settings. "slow and chill" going appropriate speeds and driving correctly (left/right toggle?) and "landscape zoomies" or something for what it currently does. Right now auto pilot is literally stress inducing =D
Yeah, I love how it's called "slow roads", and the car is just zipping at insane speeds.
Anyway, good job, actually cool!

#170Very nice creation ! But sad that AZERTY keyboards are often forgotten in mini games. The game is not really playable outside QWERTY keyboards. (Arrow keys would be a good alternative too)
Rookie error on my part, apologies - I was needlessly agonising over having to make string comparisons in my input controller. This week I'll be refactoring it to use a map, and be adding some UI for remapping.
