In this first devlog of Decimate Drive I'll be showing off the latest progress and talking a bit about how the game is made.

Location location location

The setting of Decimate Drive is inspired by cities like Detroit and Chicago. Cities with a history inseparable from cars. Making them the perfect source of inspiration for a game about killer cars.

When playing the game you'll find yourself on strip mall parking lots or maze-like container depots. Locations which should feel eerie and haunted. But also recognizable and familiar.

Inspiration

To make every location feel 'right', I use reference materials like photos and Google Maps. Especially the latter is indispensable when figuring out how a typical U.S. street is laid out.

Some local landmarks, like the Packard Automotive Plant in Detroit, will also make an appearance in the game.
