Building a City Driving Game with the Untold Engine - Part I

Harold Serrano

DECEMBER 4, 2024

As stated in my previous post , my goal is to improve the robustness of the Untold Engine by focusing on developing various games. So, I decided to develop one. Such mechanics would be perfect for testing the collision system, which I have yet to develop. For example, the engine does not have any culling mechanism.

The vertical slice is a big milestone in a game's development because it shows the entire game coming together in a cohesive play experience. This also gives them a good idea of how much longer the game will take to build, how the game will fit in with the rest of the publisher's release schedule, and how it will sell.
