PROJECT AUTOMATON v0.1

[This is a Proof of Concept]

A conceptual prototype developed for a university project, originally designed as a stylized racing game. The current build features checkpoint and AI races across diverse environments, including open fields, rugged mountains, and snowy forests.

This prototype serves as the foundation for a larger vision: a third-person story-driven game set in a vibrant, futuristic solarpunk world—blending exploration, narrative, and stylized visuals in a uniquely atmospheric experience.

This project mainly acts as a  demo focusing on potential driving and race mechanics.

Controls:

W - Acceleration

A/D - Steering

S - Deceleration/Reverse

Space (Hold) - Handbrake/Drifting
