Retro 80

Retro. 80s. Road. You are patrol policeman. You are riding the roads and you are destroying bandits and catching up street racers. And you are destroying them also. So, in a simple way, I am telling about how to play this Undercover Break. It is simple arcade racing with shooting. In retro 80s style. It is very important point – retro 80s theme.

Racing with shooting. You are just riding the track. In the city or village environment. And you are all the time destroying bandits and street racers. Casual cars you need to bypass. For all of these you get scores. For speed you are also taking game scores. And you have turbo speed up. It is made – like turbine with electronic components. This thing can speed you up to 280. This is maximum speed limit in this videogame. And so this way you can chase street racers faster.

Here we have elements of racing, shooting and speed boost. It is total 13 levels are developed. Gameplay is about retro, and this is very important to understand. And this retro videogame is made for modern computers. It is even more interesting. Run and play. You do not need to set your old MSX, ZX Spectrum, IBM 486 MS Dos.

And just for your casual computer it will work. Game is for modern computers. For operation system Windows, game itself is 32 bit application, and any office kind PC car run it. And after you can set your retro computer like Zx Spectrum and play in other videogames. If you have such machine. It is also required to find them and get them. It is not so casual task.

 About development

Right now, it is time to finishing process with development. Graphics is already updated. Not at all the levels, saying the truth. But details were added to many levels. It was already fixed some elements of gameplay and small errors. These small errors don’t affect the gameplay. So you can play with them. For example, some animation, after you exit the pause, just get frozen. This is about speed effect. Such white lines around the car.

All the things I found – and fixed them. Graphics is added with details. This things just like try to add lots of colors elements to the screens. It is so, not critical. Just like, house was one colored and now it is two colored. Colors are added with the way of adding of lots of colors dots.  So such “Wow”, that everything is increased about graphics, it is not this case. But it is more colors and details at the half of levels for sure.

Several levels are goes with special visual effects. When snow or rain all over the screen. And in detailing of such levels are not very big reason. Just like levels with low visibility. Such kind of effects like  - fog, that makes colors transmission worse. These levels are goes at final. Levels with such effects like snow, rain, fog – before final. For variety.

Pre final

In next step of development it will be fixed gameplay and rows of checks will be done. After that game will be complete for release! If, of course, will not appear some bugs. Then I need to fix them again, in that case. In any case, game is near about final, pre final stage, almost done. Percents 90+, 95 percents, 98 percents. Such a case.

About gameplay, there is desire to make game easier, than initial it was started. Steps into this direction are already made. Players have more lives, for example. And row of additional programming is made for collision with cars logic. It is a time, I try to find ways to make game easier and not changing code a lot. Any case, it is already in pre release state! And it is good! Summer! Good weather! And retro 80 theme!
