Super Cube Racer

I've started working on yet another new game (Wilhelm's War is on hold). I call this one Super Cube Racer. It's a mix between Minecraft and Mariokart, I'm hoping to find fun gameplay in between these two wonderful games.

There is no design document or any set in stone plans but here are some ideas in my head:

- Random race tracks, every race is different
- Split screen multiplayer (1-4 players), offline
- Weapons/power ups, some of which may allow for temporary destruction of terrain to slow down the other players
- Map editing by letting the player place down cubes, probably start off with randomly generated terrain but no racetrack

I'm targeting Xbox 360 Indie, and possibly the PC.

So far I've been mostly working on the "voxel" engine, it's been a few weeks and I think it's in a pretty good shape. I'm now starting to cram a racing game into the engine. Here is a video of what I've got so far:

Sketchy Tower Defense on Xbox Marketplace

Sketchy Tower Defense was finally released on November 26th. It's been doing quite well since, staying in the top 7 downloads the entire time. Have a look, try the trial. If you find that you enjoy it the full version is only 80 MS points away (about $1 USD).
