About

Dirtbox Rally is a realistic driving game, where you need to complete objectives at the mercy of the environment, and the limitations of your chosen vehicle. Traverse tough tracks, become resourceful, and have fun!

A large chunk of this game is designed to help teach real world skills that may come in handy, such as how to read maps and compasses, how differentials work, and how communications work.

Dirtbox Rally is in very early stages of development, and many changes, updates and patches will be made before it's ready for commercial release. However, I feel that community testing and feedback is a must for a game like this.

Currently there is only one vehicle, with a very basic tutorial level to get a grasp of the objective system and vehicle controls.

The Game

Dirtbox Rally is all about objectives - at the end of the day you only need to make it from A to B, however in between is where the adventure lies.

To start, you'll need to pick a vehicle; an economical hatchback or a large truck? You can then customize your vehicle to suit your needs.

Want to have great fuel economy, but absolutely no protection or load carrying capacity? Ditch the bullbar, towbar and roof racks. Want to be able to pick up an injured patient? Get rid of the rear seats in favour for a stretcher. Everything is a comprimise, and everything is a lesson!

Once an objective is completed, you'll be scored off indicators throughout the task, such as fuel consumed, damage done, oppurtunities missed, etc. However it's important to note that time is not a factor in scoring. These points will allow you to repair, upgrade and purchase new vehicles.

Community

This game is being worked on by myself, in my spare time. While I do love doing this, it makes is more exciting having community involvement. At the end of the day, I want to make a fun project that can teach a thing or two to someone, and perhaps even get them into overlanding or vehicles in real life!
