I will say the feedback isn't inaccurate. Concision wasn't a priority. I was conversational, candid and thorough. Lesson learned I guess.

Got turned down for a job on a project which has been in development for EIGHT YEARS because my responses in the interview weren't concise enough. Glad to hear they're taking velocity seriously. ๐Ÿ™

1. The Honda S660 is the most adorable itty bitty JDM coupรฉ
2. 1990 Renault 5 GT was the OG apirational boy racer car
3. I've always had a weakness for the 2005 era Ford Mustang. The suped up racing Cobra GT is ๐Ÿ”ฅ
4. Will Rival Racer feature time travel?

Tony Hawk meets Left 4 Dead, another prototype that will likely never see the light of day.

Is there a way to set up a system where if I ever try to buy a ticket to an arena/stadium gig, armed forces bust through my door and arrest me to prevent it from happening?

Here is a super quick night time lighting test to see how the vertex color projections do with it.

I'm into it and I'm looking forward to doing some proper final quality art for #RivalRacer

For audio I collaborated with composer Mike Thal who I met on twitter during the gbjam. Mike created the soundtrack and SFX following strict Game Boy audio limitations to create an authentic DMG soundscape!

Like, if we went to the next stage and provided a key I'd happily put some time into the game, pulling together some notes on what needs improving and how that could be achieved. But coughing up that kinda dosh ahead of a first interview? Nah mate, you're 'avin' a bubble ๐Ÿ˜‚
